The kids have been working hard on learning Psalm 23.
She's got it!
Zach got distracted before he finished, but he knows the whole thing too.

The Beach!!
Finally, our long awaited trip to Florida! What a great time!
We started the week at our favorite condo on the beach with Rick's parents, and this time, my folks were able to join us too. Both sets of grandparents! Yahoo! And, Rick's brother came by with his girlfriend, April, that we finally got to meet for the first time. We arranged for my Uncle to come take pics since it's so rare to have all of us together (besides wanting to get to see Aunt Mary Lou and Uncle Dave). 15 minutes before the photo session began, Zach took a dive and badly scraped his knees. Tired boy, scraped knees, and sand did not make for many good pictures with him! But there are a few. Unfortunately, we lost track and didn't get all the "groupings" I had hoped for, but the pics we do have are great! Many thanks to Uncle Dave!
The Clan... minus Kevin and April...
There they are!!
Playing in the sand.
Momma and daughter, twirling together...
Cuddle time!
What a cutie!!
Twirling again!!
As for the rest of the stay, we spent so much time playing we took very few pictures! The kids LOVED LOVED LOVED the pool, and playing in the sand. They weren't so crazy about being in the gulf.
Posing before jumping in... is a must!
What's he up to??
We left the condo and my folks mid week, and headed back to Rick's parents home. Spent a fun day at the zoo and a couple days just hanging out around the house. As always, just a great time.

Z-man cuddling with June before bedtime...Easter and an Extended Ohio Visit
(Yes, still catching up...) My friend Melanie is always coming up with the most creative ideas... for Easter, she invited us and another family over to create "Resurrection Gardens." Aside from being a lot of fun, it made such a great and visible aid to teach the kids about Christ's Passion. On Friday we talked about Jesus' death and put a little cloth inside the tomb, representing Jesus' burial. Then we kept checking all evening Friday and all day Saturday, but it was still there. Then Sunday morning, before the kids got up, we took out the cloth and moved the "stone". They ran straight out to check it when they woke up and were so excited to see that it was empty! Such a great visual aid! We still use it to help answer questions about Jesus. Thanks, Melanie.
Took the kids to visit my folks in Ohio after Easter. A five day trip turned in to 10 when we all got a bad case of crud while there. Nevertheless, there was plenty of fun to be had...
Kaitlyn got very confident on her bike...
Zach and Dad had special time every morning (Zach's my early riser, and Dad would get up with him so I could go back to bed for a couple more hours. It was WONDERFUL!)
Kaitlyn began experimenting with climbing trees. She's actually only a few feet off the ground, but looks much higher at first glance!
They both look like they're up to something...
I hated that we all got sick, but we sure enjoyed the extended visit!

Catching Up
Just realized I'd never posted a couple of my fav pics of the kids from a beautiful Spring day at the park...
Oh I am so blessed!!
That was one of those "so good to be out of the house after a long cold winter" kind of days.
Oh I am so blessed!!
