Hale-Raisers: Where the "Hale" have we been?

While it might seem like this picture would tell you that we've been to infinity and beyond, really, we've mostly been around the house. We've had a few visits to Fayetteville to hang out with our new niece and her awesome older siblings, all of our brothers, sisters, mom, dad and the animals, too. There has also been a drive to the coast to see Papa Witt and the Melby Zoo in the last month.

But on the whole, there's been a lot of home time. We've had spring weather, a turn back to cold weather, some wind, some rain, and a whole lot of growing boys. I'm so excited to see my front garden and trees blooming and full of color!

We've also been working on a pathway from the back door to the garage and driveway. We are about half way there. Graeme loves to walk from stone to stone while we can sit Liam down with a trowel on the edge and he will happily "dig" away.

Graeme loves to get hold of the camera and this is his true first picture that he took. He was so cute "looking" through the view finder and taking the picture.

Enjoying a spring day and plastic eggs in the front yard. I was also hoping to get a usable picture of the boys in their Easter outfits . . . I will keep trying.

Lots of birthdays in our family in the month of March-Nana, Jonathan, and Papa Witt. We tried to get Papa Witt and all of his grandkids, but the older two kept making funny faces. I did get a pic or two but the crazy faces are truer to what the photo "shoot" was like :-)

After church this past Sunday, we packed the boys up and took them to enjoy the beautiful weather at the zoo. They had a cool exhibit that had just opened up in the Africa section which included a "ghost" alligator (completely white).
