Lovely Spring of 2011

Sarah on Easter morning, and yes, all the girls in our family wore hats to church as did some other ladies and girls at church.  It was so fun we decided to do it again.

 A charming house down the road from us.

 The "parents" of these eggs lay their eggs right on the edge of our road each year and each year we look forward to seeing the nest and watching the parent birds acting wounded to draw us away from their young.  

 Can you spot the nest?  See at the top of the photo, the road is right there!

Lovely, right down the road....

 Here she comes!

 Mom's birthday tulips from David and Keslie.  What a joy to see their cheerful colors!

 Camry snoozing in the warm sunshine!


 Pansies poking out their colorful faces!

 Blueberries to plant!

Apple trees, a plum tree, lilac bushes,  snowball bushes and a red twig  dogwood.

 Our yard is taking shape!  

 The chicken coop has a roof and it's almost ready for our chicks to take over!  We can't wait for yummy fresh eggs!

 Heidi my 17 year old cat.  Dad built her a cat house to keep her warm this winter since she is so old.  She loves her little house and looks like a little queen as she steps out and stretches.

 The hostas are popping up!

 The potting bench.

 Dad, Taylor and Gracie planted the fruit trees!  


 Planting the lilac

 The back of our house.  The garden is off to the right.

 It was a perfect day to play with dolls outside in the sun, do you see all 3 of them? 

Ben planting boxwoods with Prince just begging him to throw the ball.

Camry nabs the ball before Prince can get there.

Ready? Set?  Jump!

Who's the winner....

My nieces are growing!


Darling Emma Christine 23 months old.  She wanted to talk to me on the phone today so Keslie gave her the phone and we had quite the conversation as she jabbered in her sweet little voice about all sorts of things.  I didn't know what she was talking about but it was a delight to hear her little voice happy and cheerful talking about happy things in her life.  When I asked her questions she said: "Yeah!" and then proceeded to tell me all about it!  She is a dear!

Sweet Molly Sophia is 6 months old now.  She has such a dear personality and smiles very quickly at her family.  Her beautiful eyes sparkle and her face lights up with her smile.  She loves to be talked to and has to see what is going on around her; she certainly is a social little thing!  Her and Emma get along very well and it's fun to see these 2 little sisters together.  Molly's little cheeks are just begging to be kissed!  

Auntie-hood is splendid and I love these two girls dearly!  We are truly blessed having them and their mommy in our family!
