Easter Weekend


We started our celebrating on Friday night with some egg-dying. All three kids got into it with using different colors and trying a white crayon to make designs :)



Saturday started with the annual Egg Hunt at Mawna's.  There was an extra cousin there this year - and it was the first time my kids had met him! :)  Chloe wanted to hold him every second ;)




Back outside to find the eggs!




We hung out for a bit, then came back home to get ready for April's birthday party!  It was warm enough to be outside which was nice.




All the cousins together! From youngest to oldest:


Easter Sunday!! Kids got to do baskets before church this year:

We hosted lunch after church and took some family pictures on the couch - it's getting easier to get everyone looking and smiling these days :)

Baby Pool

Want to guess when Baby #2 is going to arrive? Post a comment, or send me an email, with your guess and I'll add you in!

Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h...

Chloe at 11 months

I can hardly believe that Chloe will have her 1st birthday next month. She is getting increasingly mobile these days - her 'crawl' is getting faster and faster. She is also pulling up on anything she trusts and occasionally cruises from one place to another. If you watched the video, you have also seen that she can use the walker...but needs Dad's help on the turns :) Chloe still loves music of any kind ~ she sways back and forth when the music starts. Singing will bring her out of any temper tantrum or pout. She likes to be outside and still tries to eat rocks...something we're still slowly learning... Over Memorial Day, Chloe had quite an interest in the American flag and at the 4th of July we found that her love hadn't faded and she carried around the flag all day. She likes her new toys (nesting boxes and a "push the button, door pops open") but is still interested in some of her old ones. She likes anything with a lid and has a new fascination ...
