I'm really enjoying this pace of once a month blogging, or picture uploading really :) I find myself looking forward to it and coming up with funny captions throughout the month as I take pictures!
It was another full month, seems like the last time I did this was a VERY long time ago.
Lotta water under our April bridge!
First things first. Mom wins the bracket challenge! Again! :) :) :)
Kid loves his 'sauce!
When the cat's away the mice will play! Or eat '
girl food' at will!
Erma gershhhhhhh! Is there anything better than a
bare baby?! Let me assure you, this one is particularly soft and wonderful too!
Handler time out. I worked on and completed (and forgot to take a photo) a darling
baby mobile for a precious little peach all with the unending help from my oldest and best helper.
Mom! Mom! Commere! Gabe's just
chillin' out!
Clock watcher already. Gabe loooooooves clocks. Digital, analog, face, no face, kitchen timer...
I wish my video of this would load, it was too heavy for her to lift and she immediately looked right into it and
squirted her face! 😆
Peter took a trip to Florida and everyone immediately fell sick. Sooooo our week was a lot of
jammies and 'get me outta here! Anywhere!' trips!
Come on spring
flowers! You can dooooooo it!!!!!!!
Playyyyyyy Doh!!! Putting our new sets to good use!
Butterflies
blooming with our cousin Calvin!
Is this a handler time out? A photo of the
handlers anyway :)

Poor little sicko! Plus side for me was all the calm
snuggling.

stroopwafel of course; it's what he was born to eat :)
This guy! If you cant tell we're WILD about him! And now he's

Easter!!! What a great
egg hunt with our cousins!
Her first
church performance at which she did
no singing, only
candy eating and then
applauded with the crowd at the end! Yes! Great job everyone! :)
Happy Easter from us! He is Risen!
Matchy Matchy cousins! Thanks grandma!! Even three of our big girl Washington DC cousins matched too!
