Hoppy Easter

We hope you all were able to enjoy Easter with your families and celebrate Christ overcoming the grave. We were fortunate to spend the weekend with family and have a few pictures to share of Kayla looking cute in her Easter dress.



Kayla got the Disney princess figurines in her Easter basket and was trying to learn all of their names. You may remember the princess from Beauty and the Beast; well, Kayla has named her "Jingle Belle." And the princess with the evil step-sisters..."Cinder-bella!" The final modified princess name so far, "Jazz-man" (from Aladdin). Too funny!


Kayla loves to dance and sing and says lots of funny words right now, so we are having a great time. We are very blessed. We hope you and yours are doing well too!

Chicago...not the musical

Since it is apparently virtually impossible for me to get this darn blog updated, I decided to post a few pictures from our recent trip to Chicago. Kayla stayed with our parents, so we enjoyed an adult weekend with our friends, Jared and Cathy. That were nice enough to open up their home for the weekend, and take us around the city. We enjoyed a hysterical comedy show at Second City on Friday night, and a relaxing day of seeing the "bean," getting Garrett's popcorn, and eating Chicago-style pizza (yum!). Here are a few pictures of us at the Cloud Gate in Millennium Park. The snow was flying, it was darn cold...everything you'd expect from Chicago in the winter.


This is "the bean" (OK, Cloud Gate).

Here we took a pictures of ourselves in the Cloud Gate.
