Easter

Easter was a beautiful day.  The cherry trees were blooming and stories of Jesus were told.

We used Ressurection Eggs this Easter.  They were a big hit with the girls.

The girls and I enjoyed the beautiful weather while Andrew hid the eggs for the Easter Egg Hunt.

The girls have loved reading this book.  It is a popular naptime item.   Reading this book helped a lot with their dentist appointment this morning.(Thanks mom, for the childhood book)

The wonderful dental assistant let them sit together for R’s teeth cleaning. This was a no tear appointment. Thanks Berenstain Bears!

Snow Day #2

Snow days are really great, especially when they close the base.  The snow on this snow day was wet enough to make a snowman.  Andrew and I thought this would be the best.  It started out great and slowly dissolved into tears.  It was a very cold and windy day, which was partly to blame for the resulting saddness.

They are loving building the snowman, Olaf

The wind started to pick up and things were not as fun as they were when we began
