Missing Daddy

Ryan left last Saturday night to go to Austin, TX, for the week to do some training for work. The kids (and me too!) have been missing him, especially Grace. We made a little "calendar" to count down the days until he comes home and she's been having fun putting up a new sticker every day and seeing how many days are left. She has also been keeping one of Ryan's shirts nearby (or wearing it) all week long. She says that "when I wear Daddy's shirt it helps me feel like he's hugging me."

Are you looking at me?

Oh, I'm so funny!

Baby Alayna

The kids and I went to go see our newest little niece and cousin today. Alayna Christle Rose Bergstrom was born yesterday, April 15th, and is the 5th grandchild on the Lindgren side. Grace was so excited to get to see and hold her new cousin, Micah and Anna were mildly curious but more interested in exploring the hospital room and getting rides in the stroller from Uncle and new Daddy Jeremy. What a tiny little peanut she is!

Easter

We spent Easter weekend at my parents house and celebrated Easter with the Fox side of the family. Although it was a bit on the cold side, it was nice to have the sunshine out. We bundled up the kids for the Easter egg hunt, and they had a blast! This was Anna's first egg hunt and she would get so excited when she saw an egg and she was thrilled to be out doing something with the "big" kids too! What a great day!

What a cute little pink bunny!

On Saturday evening we dyed Easter eggs. The Kids loved it. Grace was very careful and particular about how she painted her eggs, while Micah just wanted to drop them in to all of the cups. He even tried to sample the dye with the stir-spoons - oops! Anyone want to see a multi-colored mouth?!
