The Meeks Family

Mackenzie’s Spring Chorus Concert was tonight.  Everyone sang beautifully!

William has been playing in a sink full of soapy water for almost 2 hours this morning!

Happy Easter everyone!  The kids had fun hunting eggs this morning and then we went to Nana and Pop-pop’s house for Easter dinner.

We’re still enjoying some beautiful weather here in Iowa.  The kids had fun playing outside this morning in the bright sunshine.

I did it! Will can ride his scooter!

It is officially Spring – both by the calendar and the weather.  We are loving it here at the Meeks house.  Lots of outdoor playtime, walking and sunning in our future!

Springtime!

Today we took William to Niabi Zoo.  He loved it!  The weather was beautiful and there were hardly any people.  Not all of the animals were there and some of the habitats are under construction, but Will didn’t mind or even notice.  He got to see the elephants, the giraffes, ride the zoo train and the merry-go-round.

Today was particularly nice outside – and I hear there’s more to come!  Come on Spring!

Today was the last day of Basketball Drills for Mackenzie and Hayden.

Well, it has been a while again, hasn’t it?  Lots going on, but not much time devoted to posting about it here.  The month of January is flying by for us.  We celebrated the New Year with Nana and Pop-pop.  We had a lot of food and exchanged Christmas presents.

The following week we celebrated Pop-pop’s birthday.  William enjoyed helping Pop-pop open the presents.

The next week we celebrated Tim’s birthday where once again William assisted with opening the presents.

Finally, we all went up to Dubuque to visit the National Mississippi River Museum.  Unfortunately, I forgot the memory card for my camera, so all of these photos were taken on my cell phone.  We got to visit with Buddy the Dinosaur and Dan Wardell from Iowa Public Television.  William loved seeing them – his first celebrity sighting at not quite 3 years old!
