I didn't think I had gotten a great pac of pics from this weekend...
until I uploaded the pics onto the computer.

This is Stephie and the duckie.

Elmo party hats for a couple of men makes for a great picture.

Anna was amused!

This is Tim gloating over the fact that he's the only healthy one in our house.

My chicklets went to visit Grandma Hen and Grandpa Rooster.

We are chickletless. ; )

(I found 7 comments that needed to be moderated. Sorry 'bout that!)

We had a FANTASTIC three day Easter celebration at 808 this year. Our perspective of the Easter celebration was broadened this year - How do you explain it all to a 2 yr old?? Our responsibility to teach her what Christ did for us made this year more meaningful.

We started the weekend with the Great Search at Bethel. We're pretty sure Ellie missed the story about Jesus searching for the missing sheep as she was very skeptical of the man dressed in the Easter bunny suit. After some tears, we made our way around the church looking for eggs and steering VERY clear of the bunny.

After church Ellie got to play at Burger King with Ava and a long nap we went to G & G Mathiesen's to dye Easter Eggs...

The egg hunt at G&G Mathiesen's house was super fun!
Ellie got to eat her first PEEP! :)

Anna got to hang out for the afternoon. She was a good sport through all the pictures, all the kisses and all the watching-big-sister-do-everything.

"How was YOUR Easter?"

2 Month Stats:
11 lbs 3 oz (75th percentile)
22 3/4 in (75th percentile)

Plus we found out that Anna has
a hemangioma (just like Ellie).
What's with that???

We went on a walk today with Ava and her mommy!

Here's our "group."
I'm a tag-along with my girlfriend, Jess (sharing the chair with me).
Most of the people I know from this pic I only know
from these retreats at Camp Lebanon.

I know you probably don't care but this was the shower.
I had to squat to get my hair wet.
I feel I understand my "little" brother a little bit more
because of this shower.

I had a record breaking weekend this year.
4 quilt tops and 2 flannel blankets done.
The one above is for Jess who is due this summer.

This one is for a girlfriend from highschool that just had a baby boy.

This one was fun.

This one was funkalious.

This is for Jen.
There's the BELLY!
