Fun with Washington Friends

Our friends Wendy, Taylor and Meredith came to visit us on Tuesday.  We had a great time together and it was such a joy to see them.  Jordan thought it would be fun to go to Pullen Park together and I agreed.  So, after naps on Tuesday we headed down to Pullen Park.  Pictured above are Taylor, Meredith, and Wendy riding the train at Pullen Park.

Here are Laura, Hannah and Jordan riding the train.  Jordan loved riding the train.  Unfortunately, the whistle on the train scared sweet Hannah and made her cry.  Now I know to sit in the back of the train away from the whistle.

Jordan also loves the carousel.  He and Meredith had a good time riding it.

Meredith and Jordan also played on the playground.

YEAH--Swinging.  I love to swing!!

Seesaws are great!?!

Look at that tongue!

Hannah loves to be in the sand, to feel the sand in her hands, and to play with the sand.

Easter--Christ is Risen!!

Seeing the blooming flowers and beautiful growth on our plants in our front yard reminds me of new life.  Praise the Lord for the new life we have in Christ through His death and resurrection. 

Sunday afternoon we enjoyed our own family Easter egg hunts--yes, we had multiple egg hunts.  Did I say yet that Jordan loves to hunt Easter eggs?

Jordan even enjoyed hiding the Easter eggs for one round of hunting.  He, of course, then wanted to tell us where they were.  Here he is showing Philip where the Easter eggs are located.

Isn't hunting Easter eggs, great!?!

Oh YEAH--an Easter egg

Shaking Easter eggs is so much fun

Bayleaf Easter Egg Hunt

Last Saturday we enjoyed a great Easter Egg Hunt put on by Bayleaf Baptist.  Hannah and Jordan both enjoyed hunting Easter eggs.

Jordan's Birthday

March 31st, our little man, turned three years old.  I cannot believe it.  He is so precious, and he is growing up so quickly.  We enjoyed a small construction birthday party for him on that Saturday. 

 Here are all the construction workers!!!

 John David is working on building in the sandbox.

 Lawson is checking out the saw.

 Jordan and Matthew are working on the deck.

 Marjorie Anne and Emily are simply relaxing in the hammock.

Mmm--This is so good!!

What a fun birthday party!!  We had a blast celebrating.  Jordan loves parties so it was fun to see how much enjoyed everyone being there for his birthday.  What a blessing our precious little boy is!!





Fun with Mimi and Pop

What a great joy to have Mimi and Pop visit.  We enjoyed seeing them and Jordan and Hannah had a blast with their grandparents.

More Mexico

As I said, Mexico was a great week.  Jordan thoroughly enjoyed the pool, and the days were gorgeous with highs near 80 degrees.  It was very nice to enjoy the pool without being hot!!

 Jordan also loved looking at the fish in the little pools at the resort.

 Jordan and I liked how the cleaning lady set up his animals on his bed.

 Dad and Jordan enjoyed playing in the baby poolwith its little water fountains.

 Jordan also enjoyed us holding him around this big pool.

 Dad and Jordan at a nice restaurant where Philip and I had some delicious salmon.

 Here we are enjoying our great dinner.

 JOrdan enjoyed digging on the beach.  He, of course, thought it was a really big sandbox.

 We had fun pushing Jordan around in this little tube.  Here are Jordan and Dad in the baby pool.

 Here are Mom and Jordan in the baby pool.

One night we had dinner on a grass lawn overlooking the beach.

Aren't they handsome!?!

What a great week we had and how fun to have Jordan with us for the first time on one of these vacation trips!!  We had a blast and will enjoy, Lord willing, taking Hannah with us also when she gets older.
