Baby Bear is...a Big Brother!

Even though he doesn't really know what is going on, he is still my happy boy! :)

I love these precious hands!

Maybe a little unsure.... ;)

So we are more then a little crazy, and over spring break loaded up the car, with my parents, sister, baby D drove 9hours to visit my sister and her family! What a wonderful visit! It was so great to see everyone, see my sisters new wonderful house, we spent almost a week just enjoying family time, getting to see some fun sights, dancing, singing, and lots of play time with the cousins. The crazy part for us, was the 9 hour drive, more like 10 with baby Bear, and myself 12weeks pregnant, I never thought I would be so thankful that Kansas is basically flat, but we made it intact. It was worth it just to see everyone!

The first greeting of the cousins....Bear isn't so sure. :) But he sure warmed up to all the attention!

P has grown so much!

Mimi teaching the girls a new song!

Seeing H's adorable personality! She is such a kick!

We went to a very neat Train station and they had a trestle where you could watch the trains, the kids loved it, even though then noise was crazy loud, it was so much fun!

The discovery of fisher price little people and playing with his cousin

This little boy loves to clean!

We all got to take the girls to Disney On Ice...that was such a fun adventure, quotes from H - Oh I love, I love Him- when peter pan came flying- at the wicked witch- Oh she's trouble!

We spent a good amount of time enjoying the warm weather, and the cousins 2nd favorite activity was to push D around in the stroller, much to his delight!

Even M got in on the action

time with auntie AW

Wait a minute...I thought I knew all the other kids in this house! :)

Such a beautiful family!

Sisters!

Happy Easter!

We are officially into the 2nds of things! Little Bear Celebrated his 2nd Easter! Granted he was only a day old last year. That first birthday is just two weeks away!

Church service was wonderful! So great to be able to be back in service, after we have had sickness I think its been six weeks since I have gotten to go myself. I loved being able to worship. We kept Little Bear during worship and he loved the music too, and raised his hands! First time I've seen that, and that sure touched my heart, and his innocent uninhibited worship.

He was spoiled with fun gifts, fun bath toys and cute shoes from Grandma. He loved the eggs full of goldfish crackers, a tradition started by my Grandma. Specially since they rattled so wonderfully! Papa and Mimi got him a ball which lights up when bounced and has groves which make it perfect for catching. In all the excitement I realized too late I didn't take any pictures of anyone else at our wonderful Easter Dinner. I guess we had so much fun enjoying our time instead. It was truly so delightful to have almost all of our family close by, we did miss one sister and her family. The food was delectable, the company delightful and we even got time to color some eggs, something I haven't gotten to do in 4 years! I am so thankful to have both sides of our families, not only close in proximity, but in relationship too, a good time was had by all! :)

Saturday we also went to the neighborhood Easter Egg hunt. He got one egg. :) with mommy's help. He was more excited I think to watch every one then any thing else. And fascinated with that egg, held it and studied it the whole way home.
