Easter

Last weekend we headed to an egg hunt with the Pembers. It was a bit cold and overwhelming for the girls, but they each got a couple eggs. Not bad for their first try. This past weekend we went up to Columbus to celebrate Easter and snuck in a visit to the zoo. Abby got to see the elephants (her favorite) up close and went on her first carousel ride.

Taking time to smell the flowers

Abby is enjoying all the spring flowers coming up. She likes to go from flower to flower and smell them or at least get a really close look! The last pic is her first attempt at fashion. I love it - not quite shirtless, but not quite fully clothed.

Slidin'

Abby has really, really enjoyed getting outside the past few days. Every morning after breakfast she goes to the backdoor and asks/commands, 'Outside?' and 'Slide?' Half of the fun is the swing set, but the other half is collecting the brown pods off the ground from the trees. She's holding them in just about every picture posted. Only the promise of cheese or bath time will bring her back in without tears.

Sarah's Wedding

Abby got to show off her dancing skills this weekend at Sarah's (Chris' cousin) wedding. After she warmed up to the crowd we had a wonderful time!

Getting Outdoorsy

It was a wonderfully warm Saturday so we headed out for some outdoor fun. Abby's favorite part was the playground and despite the look on her face in some of these pictures she had a great time!

Now’s the time on Sprockets when we dance!

This post is dedicated to Grace and our favorite SNL skit. Abby's got on the outfit and we provided the sweet techno sounds!

Winter Fun

We ended up getting a good deal of snow this week. Here are some shots of the backyard.

This was Abby's first big snow. Since this only happens once a year here we took advantage and got outside as much as possible.

After a day of sledding it was time to kick back and put hats on the dog.
