Hey there!

Man it seems like forever since we have seen our friends and family. We miss you all so much! Life has been really good. I just finished up my first session of Kidshine. It was so much fun, and I learned so much. I start my next session in May. Thanks to Robin for being such a huge support and help. Mark is heading into finals, so we aren't seeing much of him lately. We are so excited for the cruise. It is at the most perfect time..... right after finals. We are so excited to see our family and see each other again. Then I get to go to Kelly's and to women's conference and I cant wait. I miss everyone so much. Kelly is coming here to watch my kids while we go on the cruise.... love her for that. My kids are so excited to see here and Jordan and ask me everyday how many more days now mom. The next week Grandma Johnson is coming that will be so much fun to. We cant wait! I think spring is around the corner. I hope, today was 37 so were getting there. Life is good we are all healthy and happy. 2 more years in May, its going fast. We love it here though and all of the people we have met. We love you all and cant wait to see you!

Ellies new glasses

Here she is in her new glasses. She has a lazy eye all of the sudden so the eye doctor said she has to ware these to strengthen the muscle. She picked the pink barbie ones of course. She loves them so much and is so careful with them. I think she looks really cute in them.

The dancin train

Grandma Johnson sent this song to the kids on e mail and they love to dance to it. I caught Mark dancing with them. He is going to kill me for sending this. He is such a fun hands on dad.

A day at the museum with dad

Mark took the kids to a museum in Lancing. (where Bobby will be) They had a great time. It was last Saturday. He gave me the day off. It was great. He is the best!

Easter Sunday

They are all ready for church. Thank you Grandma Johnson for Ellie's Easter dress she loves it. She couldn't wait to ware it. I was so excited because her hair is finally long enough for me to curl a little bit. I thought she looked so cute.

Opening their Easter eggs

As you can tell they were very excited to open their eggs.

Easter Egg hunt

Our Easter egg hunt was a little different this year. It is really weird to have to hunt for eggs in the snow. I'm sure our neighbors were looking at us like we were crazy. As far as I'm concerned they are the crazy ones... who has an Easter egg hunt in the house. Its just not American.

I thought it was so funny how Mark stuck all the smarties in the snow

The kids were so happy with their treasures.

Easter Morning

Our kids were so excited for Easter. They went to bed nice and early which is always nice because they didn't want to miss the Easter Bunny coming. They were cute, they had a fun day.

Crazy Kids!

What can I say. They are a bit crazy sometimes. They like to make funny faces and have me take their picture. Ellie can hardly contain her excitment.

Adam is the most chillin' kid you have ever met. He is so happy just sucking his thumb. He is laying on my bed here. I walked in my room and he was all cozzied up on my bed. He never makes much of a fuss, just hangs out. Oh I am so glad I have a calm one!

Adam seriously loves Grandma stories. He caries them around with him all day. He sticks his little finger throught the hole and says "Grandma Stories" He can recite a lot of them word for word. It is really cute.

Last week all the snow was gone and we thought we finally made it to Spring. Then we woke up and this is what we saw. The kids sledded that day then it melted again. Now there is no snow on the ground. You really never know what you will wake up to around here.
