Check Out the Curls!

I don't know why I'm surprised Audrey has such curly hair. It could have come from either side of the family because there are some beautiful curls on both, but somehow I never expected Audrey to end up with curls. I sure do love it though! But then again, I love every little thing about her....

Easter

This Easter was fun for Audrey. Last year she was too young to participate in any of the really fun stuff like Easter egg hunts and of course, eating lots of chocolate candy, but she made up for it big time this year! We went to early Church and then had lunch and Easter Egg Hunt #1 at our house. After that we headed out to Wolf Hill for the annual Easter Egg Hunt at my Grandma's house. Audrey had lots of fun playing with her cousins all day and eating way too much candy. Hope practiced Easter egg hunting with Audrey every day for about a week before, and she must be one good little teacher, because Audrey looked like a pro. Although it was really tough weekend for my family, still reeling from the tragic loss of my brother-in-law, Wade, everyone did their best to make sure things were as normal as possible for the kids. Family is just so very important and I am so thankful Audrey has such a wonderful one. Please keep my sister and nephews in your prayers during this difficult time.

Future Swim Suit Model

The other day, mom got out one of Hope's swimsuits from her first summer here. She was three and half. The swimsuit is a size 2T and fits Audrey like a glove. Looks like my big girl is ready for swimsuit season!

Hangin with the Kids

My attempt to get a picture of my 5 nephews, niece, baby sister, and baby girl all together. Not as easy as it sounds.

Bath Time!

Audrey absolutely loves to to take a bath. I think bath time might be her favorite time of the day. She has so much fun in the tub. She plays pee-pie with her washcloth (couldn't capture a good picture of that), only she says "pie-pie," it's so cute!

Happy Birthday Nana!

Okay, so last year on Nana's birthday, we made a card for her and precious little two month old Audrey posed so sweetly with it. It was so cute, we thought we would do it again this year. Only now, Audrey is 14 months old and not nearly as cooperative as she used to be. So here is what we ended up with. The pictures aren't perfect, but they are still cute. I posted a picture from last year too. Thank goodness this is the last year we will have to wish Nana a happy birthday from afar because it is wearing me out! Next year, we'll just pop over to her house and do the whole thing in person. So, happy birthday, Nana, we love you!
