The McGinnis Family

We had a great time celebrating Earth Day yesterday. Casey and the kids picked me up from work and we went to the park to have a picnic. Then the kids got a chance to play a bit. It was nice to have some family time as we are always so rushed between work and Casey heading to school. CJ was quite intrigued by all the big kids showing up for baseball and soccer practice. He can't wait to join a team. He is always asking us to coach while he kicks the soccer ball or shoots baskets with his basketball. He has also become an avid runner and has to have a race from the stop sign and back every time we walk out the door. He also spent a fair amount of time watching Ninja Warrior so he loves obstacle courses. He uses the playground equipment to create them and then asks us to time him. It's so fun to see him enjoying the sunshine and nature so much. Ceirnan really enjoyed her first time at the park. She loved the swing and giggled every time it went back and forth. The slide did

The kids are really doing great. Pop Pop has been here all week and even got to go to school with CJ. CJ is still doing great in school and really enjoys going. They just had Spring Break and he kept telling me it was just too long. Music school is going well too and he will likely move to the next class in the fall. He's becoming busier and busier. He's definitely an almost four year old now. Ceirnan is getting more and more strength in her hand. I'm confident that she'll get it working really well within the next year. The two of them are a pair and they have so much fun together. It's really great to see them. Ceirnan has pretty much skipped sitting up and moved right on to standing up. She stands on the couch and can even stand for a bit with us barely touching her hands. She's an on the go lady who immediately tries to get up or scoot off her chair whenever possible.
