Lilly asked if I would take some updated family pictures. They are looking forward to meeting their newest family member soon, and wanted to be sure to get some special ones.

Andrea
It was extremely windy yesterday afternoon and I mentioned to Andrea that I just wanted to play with my camera but I did not have any ideas.  She replied “okay” before running to change. We spent the next hour outside just experimenting with ideas.
She had fun being a model and getting new pictures, and I enjoyed the chance to practice.  Her white dress caused problems and hair blowing in her eyes made focusing difficult, but it was good training for when I need to get the picture right the first time. It was also fun trying something different.  The best part was talking and giggling with my daughter who is growing up so fast!
Nora
It was fun “kidnapping” my youngest niece, Nora, for a few minutes and taking some fun first Easter pictures.
Megan and the Alpacas
Megan was not sure what she thought of the alpacas two years ago. But now, she enjoys helping with them. Â She feeds them with help and is learning to walk them.
This is what Megan says about the alpacas:
I like them. Â Sing likes to kiss me when I am walking her. Â She likes me and she walks nicely with me. She does not like her harness because it is too big and she is just little. Â She does not like walking in water.
After I walk her, I give her a treat sometimes. Â Sometimes it is alpaca food. Sometimes I just snuggle with her. Â Sometimes she kisses me when we are done.
When I was little little, I was afraid of alpacas, even the babies! I really don’t mind them now, they don’t scare me anymore. My favorite is all of them!
Easter
This year, we enjoyed Easter at our house after church. We kept the afternoon simple and enjoyed spending time with family. It was wonderful relaxing and talking while watching the children play with each other.
Tulips
These beautiful tulips are from Audrey.
Purple Crocus
Great Day to be a Boy
After all the rain we received, we have puddles all around the yard. Adrian and Megan enjoyed playing with boats before Adrian started stomping in the puddles. He slid accidentally and then decided that jumping in the puddles was a lot more fun than splashing!
Playing in the Rain
While everyone else played games inside, Megan enjoyed playing in the rain. It was a fun way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon.
Reading with Company
Flopsy came to spend the day with us. Â Megan enjoyed having company while the bigger kids helped the neighbor.
