aunt annelle

we had a sweet visit with aunt annelle on pearl street.

fun friends

lucy was actually driving this john deere with rylie and isaac! and seeing them jumping made me want a trampoline!

fun outings

we went to "sesame street live" so that i could do a little field research for our easter and christmas family services at church...we also celebrated brody's 3rd birthday without brody...he was cashed out in his bed. cake and icecream was still enjoyed by all!

paintings for grandpa

thinking of you today...

happy easter!

what a wonderfully glorious day worshipping God and being with people we love!! we had a great morning at church and then a sweet rest of the day with dear friends: moncayos, andersons, falls and zylstras. 16 in all, 6 of them little ones. my favorite part of the day was after dinner when everyone was tucked into cozy places in the family room, sleepy kids watching charlotte's web, adults enjoying delicious dessert and coffee and conversation.
as you can see, i also loved the rare occasion of having the girls in matching outfits...cute!
