Favorite Faces





Cute Baby in an Easter Dress!

He is Risen!!

We (me, Eric, Meg, Mom, and Mike) started Saturday night, dyeing almost two dozen eggs with . They came out awesome, bright, vibrant with creative use of color and crayons! I can't believe we didn't take a picture! I always have a hard time remembering the camera as we're too busy just having fun!

On Sunday we had a wonderful Easter celebration with most of our time occupied watching Keely. Meg and Mom were up for the weekend and Kathryn, Steve, ElRae, & Ron joined us for church then everyone and Mike came over afterwards for an egg hunt and meal.








How She Grows!!

So we haven't blogged for nearly two months...how time flies! She is so happy and active, we often (well, sometimes--it depends on how early it is!) race to get her up as she greet you with an infectious grin...


She's also getting all over the place...it's crazy! Crawling, pulling up, cruising, tackling stairs, walking Pooh, you can't stop her! She's practicing standing on her own too--she'll be walking soon!


Plumber?

Oregon

Well, many of you know we went to the Bend area in early February with Eric's grandma ElRae...sorry for the delay! It was such a bummer that Grandpa Ron couldn't make it too (he was tending to an ill kitty). We stayed at the Eagle Crest resort which was beautiful--I hadn't been there since high school, shortly after it opened. There were wonderful trails and we went walking along the Deschutes River--several days it was unseasonably warm in the 60s with beautiful bluebird skiies. There was also a heated kiddie pool and we took Keely swimming nearly every day. She did great and even learned to pull herself up and the couch and windowsills and enjoyed watching the squirrels. We got one day up at Bachelor...would've liked more but who knew childcare was more spendy than a lift ticket!! It was fantastic though, so great to be on the mountain again. And it was super fun skiing with ElRae...we're already looking forward to next year's trip when hopefully more can join us!
