Easter Sunday

We had a lovely Easter Sabath. It was simply wonderful to be home with Dave and the kids and reflect on a loving Savior who died for us and lived again so that we might do the same someday!

My grinner!

Abby & her Friend the Pole at the Playground!

I got these 4 pictures of Abby right in a row at the park. I thought it was cute to see her progression with the pole. :)

Hiding.

Hugging.

Slow step away.

Pippi Longstocking. Check out those socks!

And one without the pole...

Ahhhhhhh!

Our Baseball Player

My two incredibly handsome Men- I love them!

He loves to smile for his Momma, that's for sure!

The Boy!

Some of his first smiles! :D


He looked like such a little stud in his levi jacket. I wish I had a better picture of it.


He was only about 1.5 months old here, but I think he looks older. His face just looks so clear, I love it!


Here's our Joey at 2 months old! He is growing so fast!

My Lovable Abby

Summer has Begun!

Abby had a little birthday water party last weekend. Abby LOVES playing in the water and would have for hours if I would have let her.

Sucker Time

While Dave was out of town, Abby & I made suckers! We found chocolate on sale for Easter and decided to start our mold collection. Abby was on cloud 9! I thought they turned out pretty cute too!

Can you determine the two themes we chose?

Update on Arty and Chokey

We've been wondering what it would look like when the artichoke plants started giving fruit...and here it is! It totally surprised me- I was out pulling weeds and walked right by them and did a double take. It is really fun to watch them popping out of those big leaves! We cut one yesterday and so I hope they taste good! Can you see the baby ones just below the bigger ones in both pictures?


These are my favorite artichokes! :)

Our "New" Car

We got a 2nd car!!---kinda. Dave's good, kind and thoughtful friend Mike Mamanakis lent us his old beauty of a car for the time being! Although it's a little loud and leaves Dave kinda stinky after, it really has been a little miracle in our eyes! Mike literally called a day or two before we were desperately trying to work out the sharing one car details of a very busy and tough week of both Dave & I. The Lord knows our needs and is very willing to bless us! Thank you to the Mamanakis' as well! You guys are the best!
