Spring has sprung!

Dan and I thought that it was a bit early for our flowering tree to bloom, so I checked out the blog posts from last year. Turns out the tree bloomed on May 3 last year! Hopefully some of the tulips can hold out for Tulip Time!

Cute boy

Messy eater

Sometimes Caleb likes to save a little food for later.

Shower

Today I went to a baby shower for our friend Laura, who is expecting a baby boy in just a few more weeks. It was great to get all the girls together!

Tip Toes

Tonight Tip Toes, a local children's boutique, celebrated the grand opening of their new store. We went to check it out and Lillian loved all of the new toys!

Miscellaneous firsts

We made a Target run tonight and got a great deal on some kids toothpaste. Lillian has officially graduated from baby toothpaste (flouride-free) to kids toothpaste. She was pretty excited!
Caleb is sitting much better on his own these days.He also likes practicing his soccer skills. We figure since he's not even a year old, he's allowed to use his hands.

Siblings

Lillian and Caleb love each other a lot. Sometimes they get a bit carried away, however.

Mini vacation, part three

Our few days here have been nice and relaxing. Even Abbey got to relax in style.
Caleb also had his first bath in the big tub.

Mini vacation, part two

One of the reasons we decided to spend some time in Flint was because Lillian and I needed to get fitted for our dresses for Mindy and Jay's wedding. Lillian had a lot of fun trying on the pretty, princess dresses.

Mini vacation, part one

This week is Dan's spring break, so we decided to take a mini-vacation to his parent's house in Flint. We left Monday afternoon and spent part of the evening with Dave, Jen, Clay and Landon. Clay and Lillian had a lot of fun playing soccer outside.
Clay is a very good soccer player, so Lillian really got to learn from a pro!
Caleb and Landon had a good time too.

Easter photo shoot

We took advantage of the fact that we were all dressed up today to have a little photo shoot. Enjoy!And now, the best for last.

Happy Easter!

This morning the kids spent from 7:15 AM to nearly 1:00 PM at church so that I could sing in the Easter choir. Thankfully, they did very well. Caleb even took two naps in the noisy nursery! Afterward we had dinner and dessert with family at my parents' house.The kids also participated in the annual Easter egg hunt.

Easter Eve

Today we dyed Easter eggs. A good time was had by all and no dye was spilled on the carpet.

Beautiful, scandalous night

Today is Good Friday, which makes me feel like it should be a dark, gloomy day. Instead, however, it is a warm, sunny, beautiful day. We even spent a little time outside before heading to the Good Friday service at church.

The fashionista strikes again

Yet another way that Lillian makes us laugh on a daily basis.
