Sick

Poor Ellie has been very sick.

Starting to feel better:

Now I feel a LOT better, but still not 100%. (Would you just look at those HUGE blue eyes!)

Thankfully, no one else has gotten whatever nasty bug was living in Ellie's "yucky" tummy. Here's some cute photos of Maren: These photos were inspired by Grandma Dee, who loves a freshly bathed baby (and who doesn't?).

I chose this one because if you look closely, you can see two little teethers in there!

Harry Potter Photo

Here is a photo we had taken from a recent weekend trip to Hogwarts.


Remember, you can't expect us to stick around in the picture all day, you know.

Tulip Festival

What can I say? It was beautiful and all who can go, should.

Oh, and I look incredibly short.

The end.

Sun!

We finally have some nice sunny days and we are certainly enjoying them.

I can't resist cute baby toes.

And a photo shoot of my sweet Maren - 8 months old.

Warm Spring Thoughts

It is snowing today...and I thought of this photo of me, which looks very happy and Spring-like. By the way, I'm about the same age as Maren in this photo. I'm pretty sure I still make that face sometimes. :)

Easter

We had a wonderful weekend, similar to many of yours, I am sure. On Saturday we attended my niece's baptism, and then had an egg hunt in their yard.

We hear all the time that Maren looks a lot like my sister, Jeanette, so we documented it with a photo. I think they especially look alike in this shot. ;) All that partying wears a person out.

Easter morn, Ellie and Maren were pleased with their loot.
All cute in their Easter dresses:
That afternoon we had egg hunt #2 at Grandma and Grandpa Johnson's. We are rolling in chocolate around here.
And a second round of dying eggs, too.

Thank you Grandmas and Grandpas for spoiling our kids (and their teeth) rotten.

SO CUTE

We had combined FHE with my brothers and sisters this last Monday. Maren loved drinking water, and then homemade root beer (who doesn't?), from a cup. Alicia was our photographer.Maren trying to eat my face.And check out these cute photos - Nick and I do a good thing for the gene pool.
