Good bye sweet Nappie!

Our little guy of 8.5 years had to be put down.  It was heartbreaking but we were so lucky to have him in our lives for as long as we did.  The poor guy had his share of back, hip, and digestive issues, but he had the best disposition ever!  Thanks for being such a good boy Nappie!  
 His last walk on the Wednesday he actually perked up.  I was so happy, then so sad the following morning when he was back to being sick again.  :(
 Our last picture together.  It was hard for me to take it but I'm so glad I did.  How I miss that face!

Swimming girls

The girls are in swimming lessons together and Allie in her goggles is too much!  They are so cute!

Charlie doing silly things!

Saying Cheese

 Wearing Claire's helmet while riding in the wagon!

He loves watching airplanes
 Allie's headband, so pretty!

 Basketball boy

He is one cool dude!!
Wearing Allie's earmuffs while trying to escape from the house.  

Apparently this boy likes to put stuff on his head!


Basketball

Claire finished basketball in March.  She loved going with Dane every week.

 She has her arms up!

Claire-student of the month!

Claire is doing so well at school and was awarded student of the month.  We're so proud of her and had fun celebrating this accomplishment.  Uncle Matt brought her these pretty flowers.  

Claire's class made a holiday traditions book and Claire's submission was so sweet!


Allie's pajama day at school

Yes, one nightgown isn't enough for Allie.  She layers them!  At home she's even added a third one!  
 Of course Claire had to get in there and Charlie is game to do whatever his sisters are doing!

Decorating Eggs

We didn't get around to doing this until after Easter, but they had fun!  
Painting away
Making them on the sparkle!



 Their favorite egg!

Belleville Easter!

We crashed Belleville for Easter!  It's not just a Christmas tradition anymore!

And the cutest couple of the night, the GG's!!

HWCC Bunny Brunch

 Family Bunny picture because Charlie is afraid of the bunny!
It was fun watching Charlie look for eggs, he was happy with two!


 It was nice and sunny but cold!

 My bunnies!
 Charlie warmed up to the bunny!
