Special Delivery!

Patrick's parents arrived today with a much anticipated delivery of my weaving loom and a piano. They got us the piano to ensure our kids a musical childhood. We are so grateful for their generosity! Our home already feels more homey and well rounded.

I purchased the loom from SUU. They no longer teach the weaving class that I took for 4 semesters. I got a phone call from my old teacher saying they were available to purchase and I jumped at the chance. Now I need to make my brain remember how to use it!

We are also happy to have Patrick's parents visiting us for the weekend. We all have a lot of fun talking and playing together, what a blessing they are in our life.

Birthdays, Easter, and Fun

We visited my family in Kansas over Easter weekend. All of my siblings were home except Renee and Nick, who we missed in our crazy house of fun. We also enjoyed having my grandmother from WA there to visit. The grandkids had a blast at the farm playing with their aunts and uncles and all of the animals. We had a busy weekend with my brother Wyles' b-day on Friday, Sivais' on Saturday, plus my parents Regional church conference on Sat. and Sun., plus Easter on Sunday. I took a bunch of pictures, however it takes so long to upload with my internet so I will be posting them in the days to come.

Happy Easter

Monday Morning Bunny

We woke up to this little guy right out our front door this morning, it must be the Easter bunny coming to check on us :) The kids loved looking at it, especially Lily.

Kindergarten Photo

I passed on Sivai's fall kindergarten photo because he had a cheesy grin. I'm glad this spring one turned out! What a cute kid, and doing great in school. He turns 6 next week and is so excited to "grow up." In his mind it is a huge achievement, and I can't believe we have a 6 year old!
