Just beginning

Yay! I'm finally catching up with the times. Though this has been quite a challenge for me, and you'll have to excuse my obnoxiously large family photo, it gives me a great opportunity to become a little more savvy in preserving our family memories.

We've had a fun time getting geeked up for Easter and are anticipating the upcoming festivities of Easter Weekend and the wonderful feeling celebrating the life, atonement, and the resurrection of our Saviour fills us with inside. I inherited from a wise woman, Robyn Stephen, a marvelous 12 Days of Easter Tradition. The 12th egg gives me chills and tears well up as we open it and find it empty on Easter Sunday.

This picture of Ethan was taken right before we lost him for a good 10 minutes. The city of Papillion brings in a huge sea of children for this egg hunt. Three kids were just too much for Chris and I to keep track of!

Faith grabbed two eggs put them in her basket. Promptly took the eggs out and threw them back on the ground and threw her basket in the other direction and walked away!

Maybe she expected them to sing to her or something. Clearly she's above things like this at the moment.

Like mother like daughter! Who said diamonds are a girl's best friend?! Honestly, I don't care. But the saying ought to be updated. Chocolate is a girl's best friend and Faith has learned this at an early age. But perhaps chocolate is a little too friendly...

Faith and Ethan are my pantry raiders and I'm always wondering what they are going to come out with.

She is also learning how to more properly take care of baby doll. She will still drag her by the foot at times but at least now she's tending to baby's hygienic needs. I plan on having her fully trained to do diaper duty for our next little one. Ha! I wish. I'm still training Chris.

Chris keeps himself busy and now that I think about it, this must be his way of avoiding diaper duty. In any case he has been putting up a play fort for the kids in his spare time. He has done so well even after the first part he worked on was blown over and broken by 70mph winds! We received the replacement parts and now its almost complete! Please come play!
