He has Risen!

Good Friday we went to the Field Museum. Here are the sweetheart waiting for the train.

Saturday we had a really great day at my Grandpa and Grandma's house. They live about 2 hours away and it was well worth the drive. Here's Grandpa Jack.

Here's Scott looking like Grandpa Jack.

Here we are feeding the geese. I wish I was a better writer because I could explain how Scott was just about attacked by an angry bird. Really funny.

Duck feeding.

Happy Easter morning.
You too, Macaroo!

Snow Melted.

In 24 hours all that snow was totally gone!

Mac liked swinging.

Where is everyone?!

Cool park thing. I had never seen one of these.

Sledding 7:00am

It seemed like the normal thing to do as the sun was coming up.

The kids were excited.

Macker was cool.

I'm just sure this is the last snow of the season.

Keep your eyes on Junie. Poor guy.

Palm Sunday

Today at church the kids got to wave pompoms (that's what Junie thought) in big church.

Can you feel the excitment?

Here they go...

Can you just about see Sissy?

We finished up the day with a fancy dinner around our dining room table. It's hard to imagine that we'll be in our new house in about a month. Thank GOD!

PS-It's 6:35pm and it's snowing, yes I just said snowing... neat.

This morning. Looks like we're going sledding.

Cousin

"Hey, look at me! It's a nice warm day in the frozen tundra...I love getting the spotlight...

...ummm, wait a minute. Who is this? Oh, that's my cousin...she's cool...she has an egg!

Now, I have the egg too. Watch how I can hold it up in the air...whoo hoo...

...oh. I guess she can do it too...

...hey, what are you doin'? That's my egg! Wait a minute!

...OK, now I have a cool stick. She won't like this because she's a girl.
...I think she is sorry for trying to take my egg earlier. We'll probably be BFF's.

.... Hey that feels nice :)"

Awesome!

I wanted to introduce all of you to my favorite thing for my new house. Could these be any cooler? I'm not telling who made them.

Isn't amazing how much they look like my kids. Doesn't Junie look sweet. I am the most thankful person and these are so special. Thank you!!!

It's hard to believe this is the same guy in the silhouette.

Iowa Visit

Macker and Cousin Lulu.

Lulu thought it would be fun to use poor Mac as a climbing toy.

Robyn came to town and the Criddle Sisters were glad to see her.

So was Nanny.

Aunt Kers giving Macker some love.

Mac held on even while he was sleeping.
