Happy Easter!

We returned early from Williamsburg so we could go to church for Easter Sunday. We hope everyone had a blessed Easter. Here are some pictures of the kids at church and in our backyard. The one of the family didn't turn out that well, I'm still trying to figure out the timer on our camera and everyone was tired of me taking pictures by then.

Spring Break

It was good to get a break from work and having to meet the school bus every day. We went out to Williamsburg with my mom, Linda, my brother, John and his two boys, Jack and Ryan for a mini-vacation and we spent much of it at Busch Gardens. On the second day, Jacob and Katie were ready for roller coasters and Katie even talked me into riding one with her on the third day. I can't believe my 5 year old baby girl likes roller coasters, but while I was screaming my head off, she was just smiling and telling me it's no big deal. Sarah loved the new Sesame Street park they had there this year as well as the Land of the Dragons. I'll have to post pictures later. Right now, the only one I have is of Jacob with his Uncle Johnny and his cousins Jack and Ryan.

Birthday Parties

Jacob turned 8 in February and our nephew Caedmon turned 1 in March. Jacob had a great time with family and old friends from Front Royal at Chuck E. Cheese. Sarah was scared to death of the big mouse so she cried most of the time, but everyone else enjoyed the get together.

We have been so excited that Dan and Kim and their growing family have moved back to Virginia. With all of the relocating, we haven't had too many opportunities to see them. However, we were able to make it to Caedmon's first birthday party. They are usually 3 or so hours away but since Daniel is at the Police Academy for training, they were only two hours away so we could make the visit in a day.

It was a little chilly that day so the girls are all bundled up with Gram and Pops. However, boys being boys, Jacob was climbing trees in a short-sleeved shirt. Crazy child, I can't keep a coat on him.
