Photobomb

I was trying to take a picture of the beautiful vintage dress I bought from Etsy. It's from the 60's and I absolutely love it! Sammie, however, had other plans for the picture.

Shopping

Shopping for yarn for the girls' afghans I'm making. They got to pick their pattern and colors and I get to do all the work!

Easter Morning

Easter morning is always a rush for us. Very little sleep, Easter baskets and egg hunt (all indoors this year thanks to the rain), Agape church service with visit from the Easter bunny (who terrified Erin), lunch with nana, papa, grandma great and aunt Angie and then to Cleveland. We were exhausted by the end of the day, but loved the time we got to celebrate this joyous holiday with our family! Thanks to everyone who got the girls something for Easter! They have really appreciated everything and now have enough candy to get them through until Halloween ;)

Ressurection Service

This is a tough service for the kids, but an important one. Sammie did great! She stayed awake through the entire service and held her own candle. Erin's a different story. She was only awake long enough to take communion. Father always gets a kick out of seeing her sleep on the floor. After the service we headed home to break fast with a fabulous meal courtesy of yiayia Rena. We even broke out the china crystal, good silverware and cloth napkins for the occasion!

Holy Friday

Sammie was asked again this year to be a myrrh bearer for the Friday service. She and all the other girls did a fabulous job and we are so proud of her. Erin enjoyed the service as well, including holding her candle and fanning herself from the heat ;)

Holy Thursday

Curiosity Cut the Cat

We woke up one Saturday morning to bloody paw prints all through the house and then discovered that Charlie had cut his paw. After following the trail as I was cleaning, I discovered that he cut his paw on a mirror he had somehow broken in the basement (and we thought we had it tucked away in a spot they couldn't get to). I called the vet and they said to keep it clean and bandaged for 3 days. We kept it clean, but Charlie refused to keep it bandaged! He's all healed now, but I'm still finding blood trails in the basement...
