My first time swinging

Brennon is finally able to sit up well enough to swing. He wasn't quite sure what to think of it!

Trying to be like Dad

Katelynn wanted to try to put mousse in her hair like Matt does. I actually
got the camera in time for this one. :)

Spending Time as a Family

Having Matt home has been amazing! We have done a lot of fun things together and kept busy!

Katelynn treats Sierra like a sister and dresses her up and puts her to sleep :)

Our trip to Lincoln Park Zoo

I left these two sleeping in our bed one morning and came to check on them and they were laying together cuddling and smiling at each other. So cute!

Brennon and I wore our Virginia Tech outfits to show our Hokie Pride after the horrible Massacre last week. We are praying for all the victims, families, and students. I am proud to be from such a great community and will still continue to be a huge HOKIE fan!

April is Springtime, Right???

Having fun with Dad. Notice the coats!

This is April, people..... So, we made the most of it and played in the snow then went in for hot chocolate!

Melissa's Shower - Two Peas in a Pod

My sister is having twin Girls in August. We are so excited for her! Here are a few pictures from her shower. I chose the theme and did the decorations and had so much fun.

Whittier Craziness

We actually got together for a family picture. This is only about half of our family now. The next time we can all be together isn't until Thanksgiving 2008.

Trip and Easter

Katelynn in her Easter Dress.

Dinner with Kristy, Jim, Chris and Joy. The girls were a little wound up!

Joy, still glowing with only 3 weeks to go. Her glass says "Joy's water DO NOT TOUCH!"

We went to a Japanese Grill in Virginia with my family. It was really fun to watch the chef cook!

What's Easter without a real live Easter Bunny?

Katelynn's Easter Egg hunt at Grandma's. Too cold to do it outside. :(

Katelynn and her cousins Kiara and Hailey

Dyeing Easter Eggs for the first time!

Our Little Groomer

Katelynn decided to test her skills at grooming while I was out and Matt was home with her. This is the result. At least she didn't try her own hair!

Virginia vacation

Katelynn is in Heaven here at my parents. She rides their horse "Suzy" every day at least twice. She is really brave to ride by herself. They have a special tiny saddle and riding helmet for her.
