TV remote, socks, sand, and fire trucks

Penny loves the remote.  She knows it is a source of power.

 Doogles can put his own socks on!

 Wandering around the neighbor's house on a Sunday afternoon.

Penny LOVES the sand!

Douglas's pre-school class took a field trip to the local fire station this past Friday.

Penny is getting better at feeding herself these days.

Last weekend Sam took the kids up to Idaho for a baby shower.  They visited the burial site of Sam's Grandpa and Grandma Lowry.

On 6 April 2018 a new soul joined the Coombs family.  Schofield Spencer Coombs was born at 10:39pm, weighed in at a healthy 8 pounds 11 ounces, and measured 20.5 inches.  Grandpa Coombs looks happy, does he not?

Doogles and Penny have a new cousin and Sam is a proud aunt again.

Penny and Douglas at Uncle Nate's baseball game yesterday.

Douglas took this photo of his beautiful Mother.........and Penny's head.

Doogles sure likes his Uncle Nate!

Happy Easter!

The first two pictures document an accomplishment achieved by our cautious son.  Last Monday Sam took the kids to a park by the library before going inside to get some books.  At the playground there is a big rope "spider web" the kids can climb on, with green seats toward the top.  Douglas usually only climbs on the first two rows of rope.  However, this time he asked Sam to help him climb up higher so he could sit in one of the seats.  With a lot of encouragement (and a little shove--he wanted to stop climbing at one point), and some persistence on his part, he made it!

Penny sleeps with her bum in the air these days.

Easter egg hunt in the back yard.

Spoils of the hunt

Two Sundays ago at Grandma Coombs's house:  Douglas went downstairs, found this crown, and wore it for a while.  He told everyone he was the king.  He found a smaller crown and gave it to Kate and told her she was the princess.  When asked if he wanted to switch crowns he quickly said, "No, I can ONLY be the king."
