Easter Sunday

Here are some pictures of our day. We went to Cyndie and Gary's for brunch, and the kids hunted to eggs and treats. Couldn't get all 6 kids at once, so we did 2 at a time. They really had a great time.

Then we came back home, and the bunny had left some eggs here, too. Lexy was telling Papa about a fox that had gotten the baby sitter's cat. He showed her what they looked like in the book.

Papa reads a story to Brooklynn. She likes Barnyard Dance as much as her brother does. We even witnessed her walking!! She really can walk. Alivia also is taking some steps, too. No more babies- they are growing up fast.

These are the socks that I knit while on vacation! I finished the toes this morning and wore them today! I am so proud of myself. Can't wait to start another pair.

Sunday, March 16, 2008

We got home yesterday from a week in Florida, and just had to see the kids for a few minutes. Brooklynn is changing on a daily basis, it seems. She is going to have curly hair, and lots of it by the looks. She still prefers crawling to walking, but I'm sure that will change one of these days.

Dawson looks so much more grown up after becoming 3. He dressed himself today, shirt and pants on backwards, and boots on the wrong feet, but he did it himself. His vocabulary is growing tremendously, and you can actually understand alot of what he is saying.

Alexys wasn't feeling great tonight, she had a tummy ache. She's quite excited about her birthday that is coming up. She wants a new dress, and tights, and shoes. Seems like we should be able to take care of that for her. Hard to believe she will be 5 years old! Where did those years go?

Some new pictures of the kids. They stopped by last night for a quick visit. Well, long enough for Lexy to get the black boots on. Dawson is changing quickly as you can see by the picture. He finally has a neck to hold up that big head. He recently got a much needed hair cut, too. Brooklynn is a Daddy's girl. She wouldn't let him get out of her sight last night. She loves looking at books, too. We'll miss them lots next week.

Snow, snow, and did I mention, snow?

Here are some pictures I took this morning on my way to work. It really doesn't do it justice. There are some places where they have moved the snow with a bucket loader and made snowbanks that are 10-15 feet high! The picture of the house with the lamp post shows the snow up about half way on the post. There is at least 2 feet of snow on the ground in the fields. There is a lot of snow, more than we've had here in a long, long time. Hope you enjoy the pictures, and can get an idea of what we are dealing with here.
