Finishing up Winter (the season if not the weather)

The last few weeks have been busy for the Settlemoir family with celebrating Caden's birthday and getting ready for our summer move to Indianapolis. A "For Sale" sign sits in our front yard right now, but we hope to see a "Sold" sign within the next month or so. Fingers crossed! We have found a school for the boys (kindergarten for Caden and preschool for Cole-It's going to be a BIG year!), and we will travel back to Indy in a couple weeks to find a rental home. So many changes coming up, while we're trying to keep life as "normal" as possible for the boys.

Caden's preschool took a field trip to the Illinois State Museum this month. Here are Caden and his teacher, Mrs. Davis assembling the skeleton puzzle. Caden is fascinated with how the body works. Wonder who passed that curiosity down to him.
A benefit of being a little brother...Cole gets to tag along for all the field trips. Here he is trying on a mining helmet like his Grandpa wears.
Cole not only has the role of little brother in our family, but he is also the entertainer. This is one way Cole waits for dinner.
When not entertaining the family, Cole has been enjoying Caden's birthday presents along with his big brother. Here are the boys showing off the Super Why puzzle.
Introducing the Planet Heroes to the new astronauts and aliens
Caden is very interested in space and our world. Thanks to some wonderful buddies, Caden is learning a great deal about our world and where he would like to travel someday. The globe was a perfect gift for our curious kid!
The next picture shows what happens when we think the boys are supposedly playing quietly in their rooms. They raid Caden's pajama drawer and change clothes. They think it is hilarious when they get caught.
Cole and I enjoyed a trip to downtown Springfield with Funshop. We stopped for a snack at the popcorn shop.
Cole thought the bus ride was great fun!
