Easter Weekend

We had a great time this Easter weekend with all of our families!! The kids also did well with all of the "moving" from house to house. We started out at Ryan's dad's house. Of course its tax season so the men folk had tax talk on their minds and stayed up way too late discussing the new laws and new deductions. It is rather boring talk to me! I enjoyed some time with Roma and the kids. Ella had a run in with their new puppy Duke but that is to be expected with Miss Drama who also doesn't like dogs. And we all know that dogs, especially puppies, can sense this. Duke was just trying to give her a hug since she is his size and managed to scratch her on her face. It looked pretty bad and Ella was terrified, but all was well when the Easter baskets came out.

The next day we all got our hair cut and went to Ryan's mom's. It was a great visit with lots of good food and lots of Easter fun. We also got to see both of Ryan's brothers which made the kids very happy to have two extra people to play with.

Poor little one had to just sit and watch.

Easter Sunday started with a very different service than we have been to and then on to my parents/grandparents. We had tons of good food with lots of family all around. I just love holidays for this reason. There is nothing like watching grandparents with their grandkids. My Ella is just in love with her "gampa" and was screaming his name in the car as we pulled up to see him. He on the other hand is probably the last person that you would think would show emotion but he is just as infactuated with her. It is truely a beautiful thing to see as a mom. We are so blessed to have so many of our family members still with us and still able to enjoy their lives. So blessed indeed!

Kyndall is crawling

As of Monday, Kyndall has joined the ranks of mobile infants! She is so proud of herself and you can just see her excitement now that she knows she can get ANYWHERE she wants. She is also pulling up on everything including her bed so naps have become a game of "mom I can't get down so therefore I can't take a nap". With this new talent has come some new obstacles. She gets herself into places she can't get out of. It has become a great game of "Where's Kyndall" in pictures we take. Here are just a few:

This is Kyndall underneath a shopping cart. How she got under it this way, is beyond me!


Can you see her? I'll give you a hint, she has on pink. Yep, there she is UNDER the table. Ryan witnessed this one and said she had fun for a little while until she realized that she was stuck. Funny!


Although I am so excited to have witnessed this new step towards being a toddler, it makes me increasingly sad. She is still so much of a snuggler that I can't really complain. I can't help but pick her up everytime she cries, she won't be like that for long. I just can't believe how fast time has gone when it comes to all the kids! What a blessing they all are!
