Found this audio file while cleaning up today. I think it was captured last June. Enjoy!

It sure takes a lot of time and energy to put a book together.  But totally worth it!

Can’t wait to get my orange package in the mail!

Here’s the complete slideshow from last Sunday’s Easter festivities:

Some highlights:

Hope everyone had a blast.  We certainly did!

Hope everyone’s Easter holiday went well!  As for us, we first had a mini indoor hunt with just Ariel and Sylas.  And then later in the afternoon, some of our pals came over for our annual outdoor hunt.  So far, I’ve got the pics from the indoor celebration posted.

I filled the box with goodies and then we divvied up the loot.

By the way, we played this game before when we first received this box of peanuts in the mail during the Christmas holidays.  Back then, I hid several of their little toys.  It can get messy but they think it’s a hoot to dig for treasure.

Happy Easter!

As mentioned before, the four of us had an excursion at the Family Fun Center to celebrate Sy’s 3rd birthday.  Our time there went a little something like this:

We all had so much fun and we can’t wait to go there again during warmer weather!

Our sweet son had his 3rd birthday on Tuesday.  The four of us celebrated with a day of play at the Family Fun Center.  The kids are recovering from colds but they still managed to have lots of fun.  We ended our day with a donut party! 

This balloon was given to us on the day he was born.  It’s still going strong, just like Sylas!

We hope your wish comes true, Sy!  You surely deserve it!

All our love,

Mom, Dad, and Sister

My Cousin held her wedding in Seattle on Wednesday.  We were at first a bit worried about making the kids attend but when we got there, she assured us it would be totally low-key and informal.  Because it was so informal, we were pretty much the only family from her Dad’s side of the family attending.  I’m so glad we were able to witness this sweet event.  Here are some of my favorite moments:

The Metallica entrance march. 

"I smile because you’re my sister… I laugh because there’s nothing you can do about it!"

These boys know how to cut a rug!

Congratulations and enjoy your life together, Diana and James!!

A picture drawn by the lovely and talented Ariel.  Enjoy your Valentine’s Day everyone!!

Ariel has been asking us all winter long if it will snow.  Well, a flurry fell on our side of the continent this past Saturday and our little girl is pretty thrilled about it. We’re expected to get even more tomorrow. Yay!

I thought I’d make the first post of the new year a flashback.  I probably ought to set up a ruler on this wall.  What do you think, are these kiddos growing like weeds or what?
