Easter Duds

We were all well enough to go to church on Easter, and it's a good thing too because the kids had cute new church clothes to wear.

Our Latest Projects

My husband sure is handy. Just wanted to show off some of his latest work.
He built Koen this bed so he could have more room to play. Isn't it awesome?! Koen hasn't fallen off of it yet, but it sure is hard to tuck him in at night.
Our patio has been an eyesore for a while,so we decided to tile it. (OK he had some help laying the tile, but he did an awesome job grouting it!)

No gifts please

While Chris and I were on a date a while ago, our friends were watching the kids. Koen loves playing with their girls and Morgan is even okay there most of the time.
But this time was special...

Apparently Koen and Kelsee got married.We were sad we couldn't be there, but at least they took a picture for us.

I really need to find him some boys to play with. :)

Nice Moves

Morgan has decided that dancing simply involves shrugging her shoulders. I'm not sure where she got it from, but it wasn't me! (she dances much better than I do)
Go Wiggles!

False Alarm

It seems I do not have anything to worry about...for now (besides high blood pressure). But the health scare I just experienced has made me acutely aware of the possibility of losing everyone and everything I hold dear. And so, that much more appreciative of everything I do have. I am so blessed.
I want to thank all of you who helped me get through the last week. Thanks for checking on me, for trying to make me laugh and for keeping me from going crazy. I am so lucky to have such wonderful family and friends. In case I haven't told you lately- I love you!

I love you Chris, Koen and Morgan.

My heart goes out to those who have dealt with and are currently dealing with cancer. I can't even imagine how one would get through that and have the strength to fight.

Please, Mom?

The kids found a little ATV at Costco the other day that was "just like Opa's". Koen reluctantly let Morgan sit on it with him, but he was pretty disappointed that he couldn't drive it around the store.

Morgan is having fun! (Koen is looking for the eject button)

Every time Koen finds something he wants at a store that I won't buy him, he informs me that "Santa will bring it for Christmas". I sure hope this year gets a lot better by December! I guess it's our own fault for getting him everything he wanted for Christmas last year. (his wish list is a lot pricier now)

Before and After

It's been almost a month since Koen got his hair cut, but I finally have some pictures and a computer fast enough to load them.

Koen, post-Cookie Cutters. You gotta love that place!
