Greta - Two Months Old

Greta is two months old already! We are loving every blessed moment....

What a difference one month makes. How tiny she looked at one month, below....

What a joy to watch our beautiful baby, growing and smiling more each day!

Photo Shoot - Greta, 2 Months Old

Greta and I had such fun taking these pictures - well, I did anyway. She was a little tired and fussy when we started. (I got the cute pictures of her sleeping when she dozed off for awhile). But we managed to capture some really sweet moments in pictures. Then I had some fun editing the ones I like - adding frames and text, etc.... Our baby girl is growing and changing so quickly ~ we are loving each moment, and I wish I could record them all.



















I love these photos of all three of our beloved kids!

Happy Easter!

It was wonderful to have Grammy & Papa here for Easter again this year! After a special brunch and Easter worship service, the boys embarked on their egg hunt.



They found seven brightly colored eggs...but where are the other eleven?!

Hmmm? Where could they be?





The search continued....



...to no avail.

Finally, Mommy contacted "the Easter bunny," and he informed her that our yellow lab Abi had beat the boys to the punch and devoured most of the eggs while we were at church. Doggone it. Bad dog, Abi - bad dog! Oh well.

Here's our baby girl on her 1st Easter.

Couldn't be cuter!

We continued celebrating this very special day with a family dinner of ham, cheesy potatoes, salad, and corn -- followed by cherry Boston cream cake, all courtesy of Grammy, Papa, and Auntie Lassa ~ thank you so much! (That delicious ham provided a tasty ham & bean soup later in the week as well).

Shortly after our delightful dinner, it was time for Grammy & Papa to head to the airport to catch their flight home. Now we look forward to their next visit in June!

He is risen - He is risen, indeed!
Happy Easter!

Family Weekend at the Cabins

Grammy & Papa were here for a four-day weekend to celebrate Easter and Grayson's birthday (a couple of weeks early, since they wouldn't be able to be here on May 4th). We headed up to the cabins Friday to Saturday for some fresh mountain air and relaxation.

This was Greta's very 1st trip to the cabins!

We enjoyed a lot of time outside in beautiful spring weather !

While at the cabins, we decorated 18 Easter eggs on the patio.

Grayson loves to swing!
