Happy Easter!

Sofia loved her first try at coloring hard boiled eggs.

Easter morning egg hunting...

 The Easter Bunny even made a stop at Aunt Cori's house!

The little girls even got some egg-hunting action in the living room...

Aunt Cori even planned an art activity. Here are Sofia's eggs!

Grandma's Head Shaving Party

Grandma's chemo has caused her hair to start falling out so all of the Granddaughters came over for a Head Shaving Party on Friday afternoon.

Even V got in on the action... sort of

Egg Hunt #2

At my work, National Honor Society held their 6th annual Egg Hunt for staff. Sofia did much better than at our neighborhood hunt and Vivian even got a few eggs.

There are still eggs out there!

Egg Hunt #1

Our neighborhood has an Eggstravaganza every year. This year Sofia was able to get 2 eggs, which is about right for her at this event. The problem is that they only separate it into infants and everyone else. Sofia is also not the best egg hunter. She sees an egg across the field that she wants and she skips all the others on her way there but someone beats her to it. She still had fun though. She got to eat popcorn, chips (from nachos), had a drink, picked flowers and played with a lady bug. She and V also spent some time playing on the park equipment.

Happy 11 Months, V!

V is now 11 months old. It's hard to believe that in one short month, she'll be a full year old!

So happy because her feet touch the ground!

Look at my chair!

Little girl didn't want to sit in the chair.

Such a cutie!

Wild Kingdom

Recently our house was Wild Kingdom.

We had a family of baby bunnies living under the slide in the back yard.

We tried to help "take care" of them for a few days but one day Lucy was in the back yard alone for a while and scared them all off.

Then we had a 4 ft corn snake in the garage.

Dave caught it and released it a few miles up the road in an area of foliage.

Visiting Grandma

Following complications from the survery, Grandma was re-admitted to the ICU on Monday. Yesterday, Friday, she was moved to the PCU which allows for child visitors. Today the girls and I stopped by for a little while.

Sofia had to put on her new fancy dress for the visit.

Sofia's camerawork

Grandma seems to be on the path to better health. Maybe they'll let her go home again soon. Chemo should start in the next 2 weeks.

Sisters

I was just looking through pictures on my desktop and ran across these 2 that I forgot to post last time.

Can you tell they're related?

Sofia loves watching when Dave plays Grand Theft Auto. As a part of the game, the "Statue of Happiness" is holding a coffee cup and a book. Here Sofia is standing like the "Statue of Liberty".

Just Hangin'

There apparently aren't many pictures taken of me these days. Here we are just hangin' on the floor in the living room.

Visiting Grandma

Grandma had surgery to address her cancer on March 1st. She went home in time for the weekend and a visit from us.

Sofia serenaded us on the piano.
