Today is my daddy’s “21” birthday. Multiply that by XÂ and add 5, and you will have the correct number 😉 . His hint to me was that it should equal 14!
Happy Birthday Daddy. I love you very much. Thank you for being such a great Daddy!

Hollow Tree
We just finished reading the book Bears of Blue River for school. It is a classic book about Indiana history. We are not sure how much is true, but it was an enjoyable book.
The last chapter tells how three boys spent a week in the woods in a hollow tree. When we found this one on our walk today, we just had to play some in it.
Megan
Megan loves being outside. She often opens the screen door and just sits on the steps or goes to play under the patio.
I was experimenting with subtle ideas, and I liked this “oil painting” of Megan. If you click on the picture, the effect is much better.
Hearts
After experimenting most of the afternoon, we finally learned what we were doing wrong. Now we have a new idea to perfect!
Eyes
Such beautiful eyes!

Easter Dresses
Oma brought over some patterns and three different fabrics about a month ago. The girls quickly grabbed their favorites and we made their Easter dresses with material that fits their personalities exactly. 
Andrea has dainty pink butterflies. Audrey’s dress has fun loving frogs. And Megan’s dress is cute and bright. We also made each of them a matching purse and matching dresses for their dolls.
Thank you Oma for such pretty dresses!
Smile!
The girls helped me practice with my new camera this week. They make wonderful models!
Flowers
Adrian surprised me today with a beautiful bouquet of flowers for Easter. He even found some of my favorite spring flowers, Forget Me Nots.
Caught in the Act
Audrey and Adrian decorated a pizza for us tonight. It was not quite time to go into the oven when I discovered that Megan had pulled a stool over and was helping herself!
