It's Always Fun When the Grandparents Come

Mimi has wanted to decorate

picture frames with the kids since Thanksgiving.

Here we are finally getting to them.

Max & Mimi Decorating leaves
Lucy found that glitter glue explodes
when you put it in the microwave...
it does actually look pretty cool.

Papa gave the kids (JOSH)
this little indoor helicopter!
Josh might be the best mini pilot ever!

Jake is jumping across the pond to Italy!

We hit the Peppermill for

one last breakfast before he leaves

Everyone Loves uncle Jake!

We were pretty lucky

to get to hang out with Papa Rob

for a few days while he was in town.

The kids love to have Papa Rob read them stories.

JOG-A-THON

LUCY'S JOG-A-THON

Thanks to all those who pledged for Lucy jog!

Oh yeah sorry I called 5 min before it started to get those.
What a pro. !
She even had time to stop and kiss babies.

One of her many spectators

That's 21 laps baby!

Easter

COLORING EASTER EGGS

Our friend Jazz came over to help us decorate!
Josh even got in on some of the coloring action

Kristen and Jodi came by right before their cruise,

so naturally we made them color a few eggs as well.

I think Ruby made quite a haul

on her first Easter... don't you think?

And the best part of this Easter was we all did it together.
