Easter photos

Here are a few photos from Easter Celebrations. We had a great time hanging out with Babo at Atria. Then, later in the day, getting the Easter Eggs ready were the activity for these hands on Holy Saturday.

Friday

Today is Good Friday. For all of you who are keeping score out there in the world, know that our little guy made it through everything very well so far. Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers.

Playing in the snow

After the blizzard, we went out to play in the snow. Clara was bundled up warm with her Grandma while Christopher enjoyed sleds that went both down and up hill.

Blizzard of 08

For those of you in Wisconsin, and other parts of the country, we have your snow and we'd like to return it to you. Clearly this was a mistake. We're not going to point any fingers, but you know who you are.

One Year Photos

Not only have we had fun with our latest photography musings, they also happen to be images of our prettiest little subject. Check out our little girl at one year old!

Updates

Sorry for the lack of posts recently. Here are a few photos from our February visit to the Contemporary Arts Center downtown where they were making animal masks during the Fine Arts Fund Sampler Weekend.

Clara's Birthday

We've been meaning to post a few photos from Clara's birthday party. She was very excited to get her new table and chairs. We played a game called "Cake Drop." We put a sheet of 24 squares with names in each one beneath her high-chair. Whichever person's square was the first to have a piece of cake land on it was declared the winner. We were all very excited when she picked up the large piece of cake and acted like she was going to hurl it overboard.

CAC Visit

We went to the Contemporary Arts Center as part of the Fine Arts Fund Sampler Weekend yesterday. Christopher made an animal mask while Annette and Clara soaked up the views from the Unmuseum's 6th floor.

Field Trip

Last week, we took a Sunday afternoon drive. It was a good to get out of the area for a little while as a family. Here is a photo of the family that a fellow photographer snapped of us. (Thanks for the coat, Tim...)

Star Wars Trivia

In George Lucas' original screenplay, what was Luke Skywalker's original name?

Was it:
A. Luke Moonwalker
B. Luke Starkiller
C. Luke Carbine

You can do it, we can help

Earlier this month, Christopher, with the help of Uncle Kevin, built his very first wooden project while his sister looked on. After using the hammer a few times and applying some glue, he was finished. That's not to say that the castle was finished but you get the idea. By the way, this castle is the same one Darth Vader defends in 'Casa De Vader'.

Babo Birthday

Last Friday we celebrated Babo's birthday. She turned 89 and we were all happy to celebrate with her. Christopher was especially happy because he got to eat some chocolate cake. (Note: Chocolate cake is actually yellow cake with chocolate icing, right Tim?)

Caught redhanded

Decorating the tree

This is a photo from the next night of us decorating the Christmas tree. All of the ornaments are at least 3 feet off the ground. They go from least breakable to most breakable as you make your way up the tree.

Christmas Tree Hunt

A quick (belated) photo of our Christmas tree hunt. We found a great locally owned place that we'll probably go back to next year.
