Out of the mouth of babes

Easter conversation on the way to church:

Brynn: "I want Eddy."
Mom: "Well, we're on the way to church and Eddy will be there!"
Brynn: "I don't want to go to church."
Mom: "Well, today is a special day. It's Easter and we celebrate Jesus. One day he died, and then three days later he was alive again. It was a miracle!"
Brynn: (after a pause) "Elyse is a miracle."

Cousins

We went to Boston a few weeks ago to visit Nate, Mandy, Edie, and Allison. The girls had such a good time! We didn't even see Brynn and Edie the day we got there, as they were tearing it up all around the house together. The only thing missing was Kenley. And Uncle Matt and Aunt Regen and Adam and Gramma and Grampa. Here's some pics:

Uncle Matt, this was taken for you...note the Yankee being eaten by the big green monster















The Boston children's museum bubble exhibit:















Elyse's loved the IKEA rocking horse!














Brynn and Edie holding hands at church...awww!















Uncle Jeremy showing them nature in the man hole cover at the park:















This picture was taken after Brynn captured Elyse in her bug net...one of her favorite birthday presents!

More house!

Sorry we have been so delayed at posting...things have been so hectic with all the decisions that need to be made on the new house and stuff to get done to sell the old. Worst thing that has come up...2 weeks after we got a full price offer on the house we got a letter from the Borough that we need to have our sewer inspected. Long story short=> municipal problems=sellers problem=$4500 down the pooper (literally). Someone tell me again why it's great to be a home owner? Oh yea, the sale funds the pictures below:

More cement blocks

Looks like most of the outer walls are done except the one hole in the front right there. They got rid of the moat by filling in with stone and all around the foundation is stone covered with hay.

Elyse turns 1!!

Here's Elyse not too sure about the festivities:



And some pics:
