our little star.

Mommy is currently on the road in New Jersey, and I've been missing my girls (and Ted) like crazy!

Daddy sent me this video of Katherine that I've enjoyed a couple dozen times. I wanted to share and I hope you enjoy too!

Alleluia-- Happy Easter!!

Happy Easter!! Our family was up at sunrise to celebrate the Happiest Day Ever (that's the best way we could describe Easter to Katherine in 3-year-old terms).

After seeing the Easter Bunny left her jelly beans, chocolate, and toys, Katherine completely agreed and said several times, "Oh boy! Today is the best Easter ever!"

We celebrated at St. Stephens this morning, then spent most of the day outside in weather that was fit for celebrating this joyful day.


This evening we celebrated BOTH Easter and GG's birthday at Grambie and Grandpop's house. In case our girls didn't have enough sugar this morning, our festivities were completed with Aunt Mary and Uncle Dave's Peep & M&M Easter/Birthday cake (plus a cookie cake too!).

We wish GG a very happy Birthday, and all of our family and friends a blessed, joyful Easter.

Happy Birthday Oma!

We were soooo lucky to visit with Oma just a couple days before her birthday. She came up to Pittsburgh to spend time with us, and Katherine and Marie enjoyed every minute with their Oma!

Oma does so many wonderful things that we're thankful for. Katherine loves having tea parties on our front porch with Oma, and Marie loves learning to color with Oma. Oma reads some great books, and Katherine loves snuggling with her too.

We love you Oma, and we hope this is a wonderful year for you!!
