Easter Outfits




I wanted to get a nice photo of the kids dressed up after church. They weren't very cooperative and I couldn't get them posing together. I think that they wanted to hurry home to raid their baskets. I guess I can't blame them!

Egg Coloring

On Saturday, Ava had a good time coloring Easter eggs. Brendan colored a couple as well when he woke up from his nap. He especially liked putting the face stickers on then after they dried. Ava was happy when I told her that we were going to be having a lot of egg salad for awhile. Egg salad is her favorite. I even let her make up her own batch with my supervision for our Easter lunch yesterday!
Saturday was also Paul's birthday. I didn't take any pictures, but we made him a big brownie cookie and then we went to his mother's house for dinner.

I Heart Faces- Pout




Meeting Margie Sue

This weekend Ava and I went to meet Margie Sue for the first time, but first we watched Geogia's LA on Broadway show. Here she is! She did a great job!
These aren't the best pictures, but here are the girls in their new big sister Tee's Ava and I made them.


Beautiful Margie Sue! I didn't get a great shot because my batteries were running on very low batteries. This always makes my pictures come out fuzzy. I was also interupting her sleep, so she doesn't look to pleased that I was trying to snap her picture.

Here's another one of Georgia! You did a great job! Ava and I loved watching your performance!

Just wanted to say...

Welcome Margie Sue!!!

We are looking forward to meeting you and watching you (and Sam) grow!!

Window Shots

Here are the kids discovering me in the window.....


as I was snapping pictures of them playing outside.






Candid Shots Outside

Hello Everybody! We started our Saturday morning at the doctors office. Brendan has been sick with a cold and last night it turned into asthma and weezing, so now he is on a nebulizer and an antibiotic for an ear infection, but it was so gorgeous out today that I thought the fresh air could only benefit him, so Paul spent some time outside with the kids this afternoon.
Brendan loves to push arouns this toy shopping cart!

Brendan's checking the pressure in Daddy's tires!

More Playground Pictures

I like this picture, but it came out blurry, (that is why I have it in black and white-to mask some of the blurriness) but his expression is so cute!


Ava with that bunny.






Playground

This morning, after church we went to the playground for the first time this year. Brendan had so much fun! Here they are playing on a leftover snowbank. I guess that they are getting in their last snow play of the year. (hopefully!)
Brendan just loved the wide open spaces! We have a small backyard, so all of this space is new to him!

A little girl had her pet bunny at the park getting some sunshine. Ava gave the bunny, named Jellybean a lot of attention!

A new tire swing!
