Janae's 8th Birthday!


Janae enjoyed a birthday tea with six of her friends.



They had many cups of tea with cream and sugar as well as sandwiches, scones with lemon curd, jam and devonshire cream, meringue cookies and sorbet.



We also made glass pearl bracelets at home.
Janae said it was the best birthday party ever!

Easter 2007

We attended church on Saturday night and on a cold Easter morning, we enjoyed our festivities inside this year...



We dyed easter eggs this year for the first time. The kids had a blast, and didn't even make a mess. We also ate all the eggs - which wasn't really difficult since we live in an egg-loving family.



"Quack-Quack-Quack, Quack-Quack-Quack, Quack-Quack-Quack-Quack-Quack"
Can you guess what song that is? (Hint - it's about a farm).
This is the same sound we hear every Easter - thanks so much to those of you who gave us these several years ago...



Jonah actually figured out how to make the chick sing this year!



Jonah will eventually enjoy this breakfast - he takes his time eating everything (except for dessert).



"Mmmm - waffles & bacon" (I don't think Janae knows how good she's got it).



Ken cooks us breakfast almost every weekend. Here is is making his famous chocolate waffles - Yum-O!



"Hey, do you like our new hats?"



"I've almost got it - just a little higher!"



"Help, Help!"

To the Zoo, to the Zoo...


Hey, what stinks? Also - the sun is really bright. Why are elephants so wrinkly?



Looking at me, looking at you. Are those monkeys wearing makeup?



A giraffe and an ostrich on the Animal Carousel.



Hey Look - I think I'm almost as tall as a polar bear!



We love the Zoo! Why do those pinky-orange birds stand on one leg.
How the heck do their necks bend like that anyway?
