Spring Adventures
This has been a busy spring for Sam and Max. The twins got to meet their brand new baby cousin Levi. Coincidentally, Levi shares the same birthday as another cousin, Tessa, on February 8th.
The lobby of our condo building usually has a display of paintings and photographs from various artists around Seattle. There was a gap in the schedule so one of the residents, Robert Radford, had the delightful idea to invite all of the building's children to produce artwork that could be hung in the lobby instead of leaving the walls bare. He generously provided supplies for all the kids, and Sam and Max eagerly partook in the project.

Thank you Robert! The boys had a lot of fun making the paintings.
Our friend Phil's birthday is in early April, so we invited him over to celebrate. When the boys were younger they couldn't say his name quite right and it sounded like Uncle Phool, so the name stuck and he's been Uncle Phool ever since.
When corresponding with Phil we often replace 'f' with 'ph' (for hopefully obvious reasons) so the cake reads "Phil is Phorty! Happy Birthday Uncle Phool!" with a picture of Phil and the boys when they were much younger.
Friends of Amanda's hosted an Easter Egg hunt for the second year in a row now. Sam and Max enjoyed the hunt, and were slightly more adept at finding the eggs this year compared to last year.

It's been a busy spring so far, and with their third birthdays just around the corner I'm sure it will continue to be full of family, friends and activities. Until next time!
Wonderful :)
