Well I haven't posted in a while but not because there is nothing going on. I think the more that goes on the less time you have to blog about it :-) We have been very busy trying to get school finished up and lots of time is being spent outside since the weather here is beautiful right now! All of the outdoor adventures have led to quite a few bumps and bruises on all three of the kids. The most exciting thing I have to blog about today is that Troy surprised me with a brand new camera! I'm trying to figure out how to work it and when I do there will be all kinds of awesome pictures on here....

Seven
On the 14th Maddie Hope turned 7 and boy did we celebrate!
(is it me or does she look really old in this picture??)
We had a cookout for friends with a brownie cake. She doesn't like cake which is good with me since brownies are so easy to make!
She requested a Pinata which turned out to be lots of fun for the kids...we should have made a video of this! All of the adults were busy watching the action and then everyone started screaming because Megan walked right into the path of the plastic bat when Sam was taking a swing...no one was hurt so I guess it just added to the excitement.
On her actual birthday Miss Mary made her a special luncheon and the kids went swimming....they are crazy because the water was freezing!
On Thursday night Daddy and I took her out to the Olive Garden and she got to take her birthday money and buy a real camera. We also got her a razor scooter. She really enjoyed getting to shop and pick things out.
And there is also the excitement of the birthday boxes that come in the mail.
Thanks Grammy Mary and Mimi and Papa!!
She thinks being seven is pretty awesome!

Daddy took us to the beach one night last week when he was on Spring Break.
The kids ran off some energy.
They found some shells.
And they smiled from ear to ear.
No matter how many times you see it, God's creation is amazing!

Thanks Papa Don and Miss Mary!

Two weeks ago Maddie was baptized at our church. We were very excited that she gave her heart to Christ a few weeks before that. 
At our church they ask the father to go into the baptistery with their children as a symbol of support. They also gave Maddie a handkerchief that was embroidered in blue with the church's name. She was baptized by Pastor Clyde who is our ministries pastor. We really got to know him when Megan was in the NICU because he does all the hospital visits.
We are very proud and thankful for Maddie's decision to follow Christ!

Perfect day for A Picnic
We had a really nice day last week and it got us all in the mood for spring! We did some garden work and ate a lovely picnic for lunch.
Megan's new word is "cookie"...a girl after my heart!
It was great to be outside and let the kids get some silliness out!
We are looking forward to some great weather in the weeks ahead!

Read Across America
This Friday the kids got to spend some time with friends at the library as they celebrated "Read Across America." 
They got to make lots of fun crafts.
And get their hair done all crazy.
Even Megan got in on the action!
At the end, they got their picture taken with the Cat in the Hat. They really enjoy the library and all the fun activities made it extra special.
