April Showers, May Flowers

 

 

 

We are glad to be back home. We had a fun April Fool's Day dinner, jello orange "juice" and meatloaf "cupcakes".
Anna and Megan sure are sweet girls. We are so happy to have them in our lives. They make life playful and fun.
They love playing with their umbrella. When we slow down and appreciate life's little moments like these it makes it so much more worthwhile, we are so blessed.

Our Trip to Kentucky

We had a nice visit with our family in Kentucky. We stayed from March 21 until March 30. Anna and Megan were excited to fly on the airplane. When we were taking off and landing they thought it was a fun "ride". They did really well and even took a couple of naps. When we were decsending in Kentucky their ears started to hurt so out came the suckers! Tony picked us up in Loisiville about 30 mins from LaGrange. The kids were excited to see us all, wound up and not ready for bed. We adjusted to the two hour time difference pretty well. We had a nice short visit with Lonnie and Angel that night and the next morning. Angel was very prepared with a schedule, maps and plans that really helped us out, even though we missed baseball practices, opps! We had a fun little Easter egg hunt, dyed eggs and watched Lazurus Lives with the kids. We tried to dress up nice for Easter, Ethan really wanted to wear his shirt unbuttoned. It was nice to attend the (large)branch, and feel of the spirit there. Tony took us on a drive down to the power plant and we could see some of the flooding of the river.
Some of the highlights of our week: FHE where we acted out Gingerbread Man and made Peanut Butter playdough, watching Eloise movie and Enchanted together, playing at the park and baseball practice, shopping, picking up Stacie and Riley and Eric from the airport, going to the zoo, and playing games and being silly together.
We were glad and sad to come back home. Anna wanted to stay in Kentucky, but she was very happy when she saw "Roosevelt" and her daddy. We were very blessed to have this opportunity, and made memories that we will treasure.
