Easter, Sprinklers & Bubbles

 Andrew & Daddy all dressed up for Easter : )

 Sweet smile

 Lately Andrew will go into his dresser & bring out his swim suit. The water in the pool was still a bit cold in April, so sprinkler fun it was. 

 Can't believe how BIG this boy is getting - about 38.5lbs these days.

 Andrew just learned how to blow bubbles. We are all very excited since bubbles is something he loves & asks for verbally.

Just love this boy!

Happy Birthday Betsy

 The Tagye Family has been giving 'work day birthdays' this year.  For my birthday, they came & helped finish our retaining wall, fill in 10 more yards of fill dirt & planted jasmine shrubs they bought  me between the crape myrtles we had there already.  All very exciting.

 My dad making the 'drawer shelves' for the pantry Steve has been building for our kitchen.

 Isaiah always ready to help out : )

 Steve goofing off - acting like he's just supervising

Sweetest little water boy

Prayer Request

Please pray for our friend, Sebastian.  He had his 4th heart surgery @ Arnold Palmer Hospital in January & has not been able to recover & go home.  This week he was transferred to Shands Children's Hospital to wait for a heart transplant.  His mom was so encouraging to me when Andrew was in the hospital.  She knew exactly what we were going through & helped me realize what a honor it was to be entrusted with God's precious child.  Sebastian & his family hold a special place in my heart & I hope that you will join me in lifting them up in prayer.  Thank you!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

 For Steve's birthday we rented a bounce house!

Part of the gift was time for Daddy & Andrew to play before anyone else came over for the party. Andrew has always been scared of going into bounce houses & Steve REALLY wanted him to grow to love it so they can play together. I think Andrew warmed up to the idea by the end of the day.

 Circle of Friends

 Aunt Katie giving Andrew a ride on the big swing.

 Isaiah looking cute with his Daddy. This boy was a natural in the bounce house; jumping & falling down & generally having the time of his life : )

 Molly modeling the birthday buttons Chris made - so funny!

 The real gift.

 Andrew resting from the bounce house on his trampoline.

 Good for more than just jumping.

All in all it was a great day.  Andrew & I are thankful for such an awesome daddy & husband, even if he is older than Jesus now ; )

 Check out the very hungry caterpillar Daddy made for Dizzy!

Family Photos

Our friend, Brandy, who took these photos for us knows about Steve's ice cream 'habit' & got him to pose for this picture.  Classic.

Black & White

Almost Four!

 I'm just learning how to use Steve's MacBook, since our Lenovo will no longer play nice.  Sorry it's been so long since the last update.  A few weeks ago, Steve brought home some sparklers & Andrew realy enjoyed them.  Hard to believe our boy is going to be four next week!  We're having the standard Shaving Cream Mountain party for any locals who are available 3pm on the 23rd.

In more good news, we just had family photos done (Thanks Brandy).  I'll upload some soon.
