The Walker

Our Littlest is just starting to really enjoy the walker.  She has been moving backwards for awhile now, but over the weekend she started to discover how to move forward.  And also the "fun" it will bring!

Does this look familiar?

Remember this picture below?

This is Little Miss at 9 months in the walker.  However, she was moving around a lot faster than her little sister is right now.

Time To Celebrate

Easter Sunday brought an exciting time into our home.  It was time to celebrate our Lord and Savior and the fact that He rose from the dead for us.  The kids enjoyed making some Jello and creating an "Easter" theme with it.

We had planned to be in Nebraska for the weekend, but due to the illness, we stayed in Iowa.  We did get to celebrate with our already contaminated cousins and Grammie. 

Every holiday brings pictures.  You would think if the Duggars (of 19 Kids and Counting) could get 19 children to look at the camera, we could get four. 

We tried standing.....but that didn't work.

Then sitting - oh, so close! 

One more try....

The girls are smiling!  Yea, we caught all four looking at the camera!

Now the family picture.....

Here we go again. 

Girls, girls, girls....Look at Grammie at the camera! 

And Little Man - his funny faces.

Let's try again:

Hey, we are all looking!  YEA!

Sweet Little Girl

Little Jumper

Our Littlest was enjoying some time jumping in the jumper. 

Daddy and her were enjoying some time together,

but it didn't take long, and Little Miss wanted to join right in.

Have I mentioned lately that Little Miss LOVES her little sister?!

Egg Hunt

Over the past week the children and I have enjoyed going through the Easter/Resurrection Story of Jesus Christ.  A good friend of mine put together a list of 31 different passages from the Bible that lead up the resurrection.  She then put with each verse a visual that could be placed in a plastic egg.  So, the children and I read the passages and then the kids love opening the eggs to see what is in them. 

After we go through a few every day, I let the kids hide the eggs.  They LOVE searching for them. 

Little Miss was cracking me up the other morning as her and Little Man attempted to hide eggs for one another.

This is how it went.  Little Man would leave the room and let Little Miss hide the eggs for him.

When Little Man would re-enter the room he was tell his little sister "Don't tell me where they are."  So Little Miss would sit quietly for maybe a second with a huge smile on her face as she tried her best not to point out the eggs she had hidden.

But, it would not take long and she would be pointing with a HUGE smile "Look here "big brother" look here."

This would of course frustrate her big brother who wanted to find the eggs by himself.  So, as gently and patiently as he could, he would ask his little sister to re-hide the egg that she had shown him.

She would graciously do this for him; however, it wasn't long and off she was again pointing out another egg.

You can imagine how long this whole process took us.  And I could do nothing except sit back and laugh.  It was a fun time :)

Game With Daddy

Daddy found a fun game to play with his Littlest.  He started leaning his head to the side and our Littlest thinks it is quite fun to copy him.  Now, whenever she sees daddy, the first thing she does is lean to the side.  Quite cute.

Sick Days

Sick days bring video watching.  The children enjoyed watching a Signing Time together.
