He's the cutest little Masked Toddler EVER!!!

Miriam and Katie were asked to be the flower girls in our friends' wedding
over the weekend. They were SOOOO excited. It was a beautiful wedding
and they did a good job. I was so pleased with how their dresses and
hair turned out. Here are a few pictures from the big day.

End of April we made out first trip to the zoo since Asher has been in
the family. He. Loved. It. In fact, the first half hour was spent crying
every time we left an exhibit because he wanted to say and watch the
animal(s). After that he figured out there was more to come! LOL

Favorites were the otters, beaver, elephant, gorilla, chimps, and the birds.

Five years ago we were blessed with our "surprise" ... our wonderful,
sweet big boy. Our Evan! I can't imagine how different my life would be
with out this boy. His sweet smile, His crazy belly laugh. His fist full
of dandelions for his mommy.

Love you sweet boy!

We had a wonderful and busy Easter this year.

Miss Miriam was in the children's Easter program at church. She has a solo in "Amazing Grace" which she did beautifully!

We had our traditional Easter dinner at friends' farm followed by the egg hunt. Everyone hunted.

Asher found his first egg!

And Miriam found the chicks!! Of course!

All in all a good day!

Well, it finally happened, Miriam learned about telling jokes. Given her thing for them, it's not a shock that she would latch on to a chicken joke. First she told Daddy the one she hear from someone else. When that got a laugh, she branched out with an original. "Why did the chicken go into the restaurant? Because he was hungry!!!!" 

last Friday, Miss Katie joined our family!  Princess Katie, as she calls
herself, adds the spark to our family. She is funny, spunky, silly,
outgoing, and out there... in a word, vivacious! Our little Chinese
firecracker will leave her mark on this world for sure!

We love you, our beautiful Princess Katie!
