Egg Hunt, Delayed

Wonder Daddy's office had their annual egg hunt a little late this year (a week late, actually.)  It wasn't scheduled to happen this year, but they changed their minds- yay!  Ernie loves going to Daddy's office, she really looks forward to this.

Mimi was pretty quick on the uptake, no one had to tell HER what to do once she started spotting eggs!  eggs+basket = happy.  (By the by, that's the new dress- I rather like it!)  (And that adorable basket is VINTAGE- Nana made it for Wonder Daddy when he was a little boy, isn't it sweet?)

Our battle-worn hero.  As of this writing, there are 4 more office days.  And the fourth MUST end by 4:00, because that's when the mailman comes.

Wonder Daddy walked us back to our car, which was VERY helpful- I had to do clean up duty on Mimi's egg basket so often, Ernie and Wonder Daddy quickly left us behind! :)

Dreamgirls!

Little sis and I hit the town yesterday to see Dreamgirls- thanks, Mom and Dad!

Another Breakfast

Slightly cleaner faces.

Happy Easter!

Shocking

She dropped Grandpa's new rice bag on the floor.

Uh-oh!

And again.

Uh-oh!

giggled

Ahh! Uh-oh!

She's a little nuts :)

Happy Birthday!

Love you forever, Poppa!

(Photo props go out to Wonder Daddy- LOVE these shots!)

Welcome Home!

My husband's grandparents have been gone nearly 2 years, serving a mission for our church....and they're home now!

Doesn't Grandma look comfortable in her HUGE kitchen! (I think her mission apartment kitchen was sorely lacking in square footage. But hey, you could reach EVERYTHING without taking more than a step or two!)

Grandpa and his oldest daughter...only daughter. Lucky girl, having all those brothers :)

The kids were thrilled to meet some of my husband's cousins- Ernie has no cousins her age, she was thrilled to play with Nicole :)

Waiting For Brownies

And yes. These ovens scare the snot out of me. The only reason she's near them is that I'm only an arms length away.

When it rains

Ernie did this.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Mimi did this. Little turkey made a break for it, in the pouring rain.

The Doll Love Continues

Bedtime is not happy time until this doll is tucked under one arm, and the cup under the other. And this is ALWAYS what she looks like when naps end and mornings come- slightly concerned, and holding tight to what she knows is right in the world!

Have I mentioned how much I LOVE these dolls?? I love these dolls. I think they do too.

What Breakfast Looks Like These Days

Voo Doo Dolly

Should I be concerned?

Mimi Wins Another Staring Contest

We haven't found a person yet that can beat our Mimi at a staring contest.

Kitty In the Sun

If there's a patch of sun, you'll find her laying in it!
