New Blog Background

In honor of planting season, the 3-2 boy-girl ratio in our house & the fact that my husband has put up with a rather obnoxious girly blog the past month, I changed our blog background.....

If only they had a Thomas the Train/Princess/Burp Cloth/Diet Coke/John Deere combo, then we'd REALLY reflect this house & it's personalities!!!

Happy Easter

We enjoyed a full day of celebrating the Resurrection of our Lord on Easter with family and friends. We began with our annual Easter Breakfast at church, followed by being in the 2's & 3's nursery with 16 kiddos for 2 hours (all of whom where pumped up on their Easter basket chocolate). We then went to Granny & Great-Grandpa's house, followed by Grandpa & Grandma Ruiter's. It was a great way to end Chris' spring break. The kids have had quite an adjustment getting back into the swing of things, and Addie reminds me SEVERAL times a day..."I miss my DADDY!"





Easter Egg Coloring

We did our annual coloring of the Easter eggs on Saturday. It's always a joy to have to have 6 cups of dye & a very inquisitive 2 year-old. Holden found it a lot of fun to color his fingers...all different colors. Fortunately none ended up on the floor. It has been a joy this year to see the kids understand why we celebrate Easter, and be able to verbalize why it is such a wonderful day!

Weston and Holden

Weston is growing up fast and Holden is really loving his new playmate. A month ago Holden would hardly notice Weston, but now that Weston is alert and responds to him he loves it.
