Silly faces!!

I'm a proud mamma of a crab lover!!

Frozen peas off the kitchen floor, mmmmmm.

Sedona is deathly afraid of 200 pound dogs, as you can see.

Please don't take note of the mound of laundry that needs to be folded while we goofed off instead :) HA!

Sedonaese

I started a "Leliaese" post a while back on our blog that I randomly go back to in order to add new words she's made up...and here is the same for Sedona. These little silly things are the fun things I always wanted to know about my childhood so that's why I'm recording them for the kiddies and will continue to add to them as time goes by.

• colum = color
• wadert = water
• seepoon = spoon

Visiting Mom and Jack in Baltimore

My step-father, Jack, was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma about 4 years ago. He had the wonderful opportunity to recieve a bone marrow transplant that began on Palm Sunday. Both he and my mom have been doing phenominally well. Jack has been a good patient and hasn't had any infections so far which is great news. He still has a few weeks to go before his immune system finally drops to the bottom and then comes back up with his new, healthier marrow. My mom is being a wonderful nurse, as you can see. The strength and peace they have both had through this has been inspiring. They will be moving back home to Annapolis in about 3 weeks time and are looking forward to it! Thank you to everyone for your prayers and support of them while they go through this. We love you, Mom and Jack!

A Day At Papa's

Last Saturday we spent the day at Papa's house and took the kids out on the canoe. Somehow we didn't get any pictures of Papa or Daddy that day.

Easter Afternoon / Dinner

I have such a beautiful family. Am I allowed to say that, or is that considered bragging? Ha!

We're teaching the girls only the most important manners.

First attempt at chop-sticks. Not bad!

Leaving dinner.

Re-birthday Party (Easter Morning)

Doesn't Aunt Beth look cute in a party hat?!

Our Re-birthday party breakfast and gifts from grandparents.

Easter baskets were outside thier bedroom in the hall. We didn't expect that the ants would enjoy them as much as they seemed to be enjoying them when we looking in the morning. YUCK!

The Re-birthday party begins in the kids room with helium balloons as a wake-up surprise all over thier ceiling.

We saw Lelia's boyfriend, David's family at church. They are so sweet together!
