Happy Birthday Oma!

This would be much better in person, but Jensen wanted to wish Oma a very happy birthday! We hope you had a wonderful day! Happy Birthday to you! We love you!

Toddler Fun

My pile of shirts for Goodwill ended up being a challenge for Jensen to see how many shirts a toddler can actually wear. I threw in the fingerpainting pictures just for fun...it's an activity that she can't get enough of, but Mommy does!

Almost Done!

This is what Chris was working on while I helped Jensen build her planter. It looks GREAT from the inside and out. Chris has done a fantastic job on this new office...it's been a little bit of a job since everything was custom, but I think it was worth it! Just a few more things to complete before we can enjoy it as a real room in our house! So far Jensen has done pretty well staying out of it...we'll see when Daddy's hanging out in there and shuts the door!

Lowes Freebie

If you have kids you have to go to Lowes on certain Saturday mornings...though maybe everyone knew about this except me? Chris took Jensen last Saturday while I got my haircut and happened to find that on different Saturday mornings they have crafts that they give away for free to the first 50 kids who get there by 10. You can build it there with your child or, they let Chris take a mesh bag filled with the goodies home build. It also came with a little Lowes smock to wear and a patch to put on it for this project. This week was a small see through planter. Unfortunatly for Jensen, Mommy was the one who had time to help her so it took a bit longer than it should have I'm afraid. We are enjoying watching the seeds grow now that it's completed though! She also learned the word "dirt" ("durt" in Jensen language). Next week...a bird feeder. We'll see if we make it!

Maam Maam and Pap Paps

We stopped at Chris' parents on the way home from Evansville. One of Jensen's favorite parts of visiting them are the bells!

More Easter Memories

My dad showed up as the Easter Bunny to add a little irony to a church Easter egg hunt. Apparently not all kids like tall grandpas in bunny outfits. Fortunately Jensen did enjoy the yogurt covered pretzels and dozens of plastic eggs her grandparents got her.

Easter Fun

Our family travelled to Evansville for Easter. It was fun this year as Jensen can do more and had quite a few Easter egg hunts. She discovered in Evansville that unlike Mommy, some people actually put treats inside the plastic eggs making the hunting so much more fun! She's also learning people's names. The translations are: Opa=Opu, Oma=Elmo, Laura=LaLa, James=well...she's still learning that one! We missed you Liz and Damon, but we're working on your names at home!
