April Hope's Baptism

April was baptized on Sunday and it was a family affair! It was great to have family members here to support us as parents and April as she grows up. We pray that she soon realizes her need for Jesus!

Here are some pictures (I'll share pictures of her in her dress soon...after I take them today!) We had lunch after church.....Chloe couldn't wait to eat some cake.....notice the p and e in "Hope"??....


We used the opportunity to take some "Generations" pictures with April:





This little girl has 3 great-grandmas!

This is the Aunts pictures - Aunt Chelle and Great Aunt Nancy:

We were having to pull April's fist out of her mouth while taking pictures....Michelle and I decided to pose like April for the sister's picture:




You may be wondering what Chloe was doing while we were taking pictures.....Here's a few shots to help you guess: :)




Only one person didn't make it in any of the pictures above....and he's the person who April felt the most cozy with :) Tom!

Spring has sprung?

This week has brought some strange weather! On Saturday, it was freezing while we watched Peter's baseball game - it was the "late night, under the lights" 8:00 pm game. and my toes were numb when the game was over. Then, Sunday was beautiful weather to watch soccer! April scored TWO goals in her game! We had a silent-auction at a church lunch on Sunday to raise money for the Youth Group Missions Trip. Peter bid on a cooler full of interesting flavored soda-pop....and he won! The first one he tried? Pickle Pop.  For a few years, our neighborhood has been the area of choice for a few mallard ducks to nest. The momma duck picked my neighbors' driveway this year...it seems like Spring must be coming if there are eggs!

Crazy May

 As is typical with three active kids, we've had a busy last few weeks! Photos coming soon of the dance recital, Peter's birthday party, school activities and more :)  Here is our May started: No power for 5 days! A wind-storm went through our area and several power lines were knocked over. We did have school for 3 days. The weather was perfectly sunny and 70 degrees, so it wasn't too bad :)

Mexico 2025 ;)

 After a year of not blogging, I'm making this post as an attempt to restart :)  We went on a family vacation back in February that was wonderful. It was a good time of year to travel and the picture above is from the first day. We got to the resort at lunchtime, threw on the swimsuits, and then had a dinner reservation at 6! So it was a jam-packed day but everyone was thrilled! We enjoyed time at the pool, the kids grew more confident in speaking Spanish and ordering drinks, and each night was a great dinner & ice cream at the little coffee shop :) Everyone has said they would go back :)  Maybe some day!
