Holly taught Ira how to ride a bike and he loves it! So weird to have older kids who teach the younger kids milestones like riding a bike!

This was our second attempt at picking strawberries. The first was a bust because all the strawberries were picked out for a few days. But it wasn't really a bust because we got to hang out with our best friends for a few hours. I went later in the week with the 3 youngest and Holly and we picked strawberries and raspberries. So yummy!

Strawberry picking was the first family activity we did with Enoch when he came to live with us so it feels extra special.

Our darling boy turned 5 years old! He was so excited! We gave him a new scooter for his birthday and he loves it. We had a little scooter party with a couple of friends followed by cake. A couple notes: nothing says "younger brother" like Ira pouting in one of the photos. It's tough! And, the way Conor looks at Enoch is adorable. He's a good dad and they have a really special relationship.

After leaving religion, holidays can be hard and feel weird. I'm so grateful we've kept our scavenger hunt on Easter tradition. It feels so reassuring and even though the kids fight through 85% of it (seriously, rough), I'm glad I get to keep it!

All I really want is to sleep well again.
