A Most Egg-cellent Easter!

Easter time is a time for reflecting all things new. A new perspective. New growth. A renewed relationship with our Master and Saviour as well as our friends and family. Here's how we celebrated this joyous time (and blessed with the most glorious weather!)

Some egg dying on the deck

The plum tree in bloom in our yard!

On Good Friday, Mama and Daddy got to have a picnic lunch with Elias and his preschool class.

Preschool BFFs

Then, we got to go see Chey-Chey's little girl! (Elias will be such a tender Daddy when he grows up!)


Of course a little brotherly park time. We definitely love being able to get out to the neighborhood park often now.



The running of the bocce courts

What's a kid's Easter without a couple of egg hunts? (This one's at grandma and grandpa's.)




Not so sure of the Easter Bunny



The adventures of Emmett and Jasper continue as they got to have a semi-sleep over while oder siblings went out for some professional sports night.





Easter Morning….the bunny came!


As tradition, we hosted our Church Easter lunch and egg hunt.




The golden egg!

Egg n' Spoon races



Happy Easter Everyone! And Happy Spring!!!

A Hint of Summer

Finally some warm summery days here in Indianapolis! So what better to do but to get out on our bikes and enjoy the outdoors!

Mama and Daddy on the new Pickled Peddler

Ready to ride to the zoo!


This was Emmett's first toddler trip to the zoo. Boy, did he just think the stars of all the animals. Especially the tiger up close!

Running with the Cheetahs



Our little monkeys

 We also got our Indiana pastime sporting on…..old and new.

Cornholin'

Hoosier hoopin'

Speed racin'
And introducing the Indy Eleven! Our city's new soccer team.






It ended in a draw 1:1, but a nice time was had by all!

Quick trip to the park


Hemo knees

But wait!!!! What's this?!?!?


Oh Indiana! It's mid-April and you are messing with our spirits with MORE snow? 




I think we collectively feel just like these daffodils right about now.
