Lizzie

Found this little friend on the kitchen windowsill this morning (about 4 in. long nose to tail - pretty sure it's a "green anole"). Had some adventures trying to return her to the great outdoors. I almost prefer spiders in the house - I have no qualms about squishing them. Lizards have to be trapped though. And they're fast. And jumpy.


Lesson Learned

Ashlyn should NOT be left alone with McKell and an open container of baby food.

Easter 2013

Here's the rundown of this year's Easter festivities . . .

Beautiful girls ready for church on Easter morn.

We enjoyed wonderful speakers and musical numbers at church and then spent the afternoon together at home. 

We moved in to our house on Good Friday, so I had warned Russ our Easter dinner would probably consist of something elaborate like eggs & toast, since everything was still a little crazy around here. However, we were spared that fate by the kind couple from church who invited us over for Sunday dinner. They live a few houses down from us now.
