The Lego Discovery Center isn't worth a special trip to the Chicago area, but if you are there anyway and are looking for a place to spend a couple hours with your kiddos, it's fun spot for your Lego Lover.

Spring in Schaumburg with our Lego Lover
We did a weekend away earlier this month to Schaumburg, Illinois. I guess this was the extent of our Spring Break 2012. Traveling with two kids is no no small task, but we had a great time. Brighton's favorite part of the trip was the Lego Discovery Center. We also did some swimming and shopping (Ikea & Woodfield Mall including my favorite: Nordstrom). We ate well too. All and all, it was a really fun little getaway.

Happy Birthday Urby
Our nephew and Brighton's cousin turned one on Easter Sunday. We had a great day celebrating Easter, and we got to go to a birthday party too. What a wonderful day! Happy Birthday Urby!
Spring Break 2012
This year's spring break was a bit different. We didn't travel, and I now have two kids. People still politely ask how my break was, my response is, "I survived." Brighton was home everyday all week which he isn't used to and either am I. He is a super busy little guy. I find it nearly impossible to give him all the structure he needs in a day. Limiting his screen time and having Tily to deal with complicate the day even further for Bright. Whoa! I was exhausted last week. Anyway, he was very excited to return to school on Monday, and his mama was excited for him to go back too. I don't know how those ladies at Kinder Cubs and Story Hour do it, but they certainly make it so I have big shoes to fill during the week here when we're home.
We did head out twice during break. I was so excited to get out of the house, but now I don't know if it's easier to head out or just stay home. One trip to downtown Holland was disastrous, so there are no pics of that. The other trip was to Fennville's Children's Museum. That was lots of fun (Thanks Mom!), and it went really well thanks to fun cousins, Ahma, Aunt, Uncle, and my sleeping baby. The museum doesn't look like much from the street, but they have lots of cool stuff in there. We were thoroughly entertained for hours, and tired when we left.

She Smiles
We've been having lots of fun interacting with Tilden. She is making cute sounds and smiling. Here are a few cute pictures...
Tilden is Two Months
Well, over nine weeks now already. Wow! She now wears pants...or I guess leggings as they say. She also isn't so tiny anymore, which is more than fine with me. She jumped up to 23 inches and 12 pounds, 6 ounces; these are both right around the 75th percentile.

We're Out and About
We've kept very close to home these last couple months per doctors orders, but I'm happy to say that we mad a few trips out and about this weekend. It felt great! We went downtown Holland on Saturday. We stopped in a couple shops, had a snack, and quick snapped a photo with the tulips. Yes, I suspect they won't be around when we head downtown for the festival.
We also went to church on Palm Sunday for the first time as a family of four. We weren't even late if you can believe that. Brighton waved palm branches.
Tilden wore something other than a bag. She met lots of folks. I also carried her up with me to the front of church for communion. The pastor blessed her, but she also was wide awake looking at the entire congregation over my shoulder. I think she made quite a first impression.

The Great Walcotts
So if you're a Walcott reading this, you're probably wondering, is this about me? Am I "The Great Walcott"? Well, yes, you are all great. But look at this...
Tilden's Pics
Tilden had some pictures taken when she was about one month old with our favorite photographers over at Walcott Imaging. Lisa also took some pictures of both kids that are just awesome. Here are a few of our favorites from that shoot...
Don't you just love that birth stat blanket? Thanks so much Grandma! In case you need a good baby gift idea or just want one yourself, head on over to Petunias.
For family that wants to see all the pics, CLICK HERE. Thanks Uncle Bobby & Aunt Lisa!
