First Communion

This weekend our goddaughter, Jena, made her First Communion in Cascade. Jena looked so beautiful in her white dress and Rachel was convinced she was getting married! Both of our girls were awesome during mass, not easy considering it was over an hour long AND it was Annie's nap time. I included a few pictures from today. I also included a pic of Annie in her new, sparkly pink shoes. SO cute!!!

Happy Easter

I was going to post some pictures from Easter weekend and realized, I didn't take any pictures over the weekend! No easter egg hunt because it was too cold out. No pictures of the girls in their Easter dresses. So, while looking for recent photos I came across some pictures of Rachel taken at the farm when she was just over a year old. Doesn't summer look nice?? I'm so ready to skip spring and go right for summer! Everytime Rachel sees a green plant or bug, she says, "Look Mom...I found some summer!!!"

It's a bird, it's a plane...it's ANNIE!

Grandma Strang took this picture of Annie while we are in Florida. She looks like a plane, ready for take-off! She loves to play on her belly and she's loves to sit up on her hands and knees and rock back and forth. She is so close to crawling, she is so ready...I just wish we were too!

We're Back!!!

We had an MAGICAL time at Disney World! The weather was beautiful and the girls had a great time. Rachel's favorite part of the trip was dancing with Prince Charming and Jena loved flying and swimming in our huge pool. We were anxious to get home and see Annie but I miss the warm temps already! Hurry up and get here spring!!! If you have an hour to spare and want to view the 238 pictures I posted on Shutterfly just click on the following link....

Sunny Weather...here we come!!

We leave for Orlando bright and early tomorrow morning. Our flight leaves Cedar Rapids at 6AM and we arrive in FL at around 11am. I'm looking forward to some much needed sun, and hopefully some relaxation too! Rachel is so excited to see Cinderella again and spend time with her cousin Jena. See you when we get back!!!

Rachel and her friend next door, Sam, spent part of the afternoon building an snowman....with a little help from their dads. This is the FIRST snowman of the season! Temps were in the 60's today so they finally had some nice weather to play outside. The forecast this week calls for more snow so I'm sure Frosty won't be melting anytime soon!

Happy Spring...a few weeks early!
