Easter

We had a good Easter Sunday. It was a beautiful day, and we had times of fun, of worship and fellowship.

Evelyn enjoyed the egg hunt before church...


She is serious about eating the goldfish from her egg...


Her new baby, whom she cares for so sweetly, did not go to church with us, so she checked on her as soon as we got home. She does not like to be parted from her baby!




She likes to dance with her baby, and will turn on any of her toys that play music, grab the baby by the arms, and say "dance, dance" It is cute. She also will request that we "sing song" for her baby so that they can dance.

Here she is reading her baby a story. She will read the baby a story and we will sing her a song before the baby goes to sleep on the guest bed for nap or "night night" - whenever I ask Evelyn what we should read or sing about she will say with a smile "Jesus!" So Evelyn is teaching her baby about Jesus! My heart melts!

For the first time in over 12 years...

Brian went to a store, tried on jeans and purchased a pair. He had been wearing the same style Levis for over 12 years. The particular style of Levis he liked has been discontinued for over 5 years. Evelyn helped him pick out the latest. Lets hope they last for several years!

"have a carrot"

I never know what to put down for a title, so I decided to pick a random line from a children's book - anyone recognize the line?

Anyway, I put slapped together (very sloppily) a short montage of home videos. Here's what you can expect:
clip #1 - Evelyn driving a shopping cart. At least she "beeps" before running into things.
clip #2 - Evelyn being a "ballerina" in her new ballerina pajamas.
clip #3 - Evelyn recalling the ultra-exciting hippo sighting at the zoo.
clip #4 - Evelyn talking on the phone with her cousin Ty.

Enjoy!

Highlights from Granny's Visit

Granny came to be with us for a few days - we had a great time and were sad to see her leave today after church!

We had a great time...we went shopping, to multiple parks, and to the LA zoo, where we had great sightings of a hippo, one of Evelyn's favorite words to say, pronounced "heepo." Her potty skills and word skills are growing by leaps and bounds, it is so much fun to watch!

Here are some highlights!

Evelyn is shown here in "big girl" two piece pajamas, which are helpful in going to the potty quickly. These have ballerinas, and she looks quite cute doing a ballerina twirl...

We dyed Easter eggs this weekend with Granny. Evelyn had fun, and she had fun hiding and finding them the next day. A practice run for the big hunt before church next Sunday.


Sleepy on Granny's shoulder...
A family portrait at the zoo


Looking very cute listening to Dad play guitar (Thank you Granny for the cute shirt and thank you, Oklahoma Easter Bunny, for the cute pants!)

Another family portrait - anything for a smile - Evelyn is wearing the cute dress her Titi Esti gave her this Christmas.





Evelyn and Granny

We took Granny out to Point Dume, it was a little chilly that day.

Evelyn loves to play in the sand...After her Dad took her to the beach last weekend to play in the sand she will say "beach beach beach sand sand sand" in hopes we'll go again.

Ahhh...
