Touching moment

An older brother offering a loving hand and his green blankie (which solves all woes).

And here's a photo of us standing near a field of them.

Playing in the yard

Just a few photos of the kiddos playing in the yard. Clara is sporting her "Life is Good" attire while Christopher is decorating with some sidewalk chalk.

Turkey Ridge

Here are a few photos from our trip to Turkey Ridge this weekend.

Gobblers

We had quite a morning as you can see from the photo. Paul and I both took our first turkey today. All we need now is wheat bread, tomato, lettuce and a little bit of mayo.

Trip to Louisville

The kids and I (Annette) took a quick little spring break get-away to Louisville with Granny. We found lots to do! Some of the highlights were tours of the Louisville Slugger Factory, the Science Museum and Louisville Glassworks as well as the local parks and the hotel pool. It was great to see Uncle Todd & Svarit too... thanks for taking time out to see us!

2 Nuks

Can you ever have 2 much of a good thing? (By the way, this was all Clara's idea.)

Dessert Cookies

The kids had a good time with these delicious desserts of graham crackers and icing. The funny thing is, both of them only want to eat the icing and not the graham. Go figure. Clara is very happy to show you all 4 of her teeth while Christopher peers over his glasses, something we try to discourage.

Game trail

Christopher and Uncle Paul went for a walk (along with Papa) last Saturday morning looking for turkeys. We didn't find any, but we did see plenty of game trails and deer tracks. There were even some lightsabers someone carelessly left out in the woods for Christopher to play with (aka: sticks).

Papa with Clara

Another Easter photo to show. This one is Clara with Papa. The reason Christopher isn't in the photo is because he was throwing a tantrum at the time.
