Easter Celebrations

A good ol' fashioned egg hunt!

The loot!


Dying eggs

Happy Easter Everyone!

Springtime Fun in the Barrel!

Springtime brings new dos.....



Takes us back to the soccer fields supporting our Boys in Blue...

Diva moment...


Springtime lets us get out to explore new parks...





And just goof around the house


Springtime lets us explore new things....


And hit the fields of green.





Springtime brings tender moments....


And goes into self expression.

Elias 2nd grade self protrait
New obsessions arise...
All the Pokemon!
And current ones rock out!


Emmett cheering on his Indiana Pacers!
And even when we have to go to bed...



Springtime makes for not-so sleepy heads.
