Easter

This was Ella's first Easter where she began to understand that Jesus died on the cross for her sins and how special it is that He is risen! It is exciting to see God working in her life to draw her to Him. She was also very excited to help pick out her sister's Easter basket, dye eggs, hunt eggs, eat eggs and eat candy!! Our family had a wonderful time on Saturday with our friends from church at an egg hunt and picnic dinner at a local cattle farm. It was a beautiful location and each of us enjoyed the time so much. Sunday we worshiped at our home church with a wonderful time to celebrate Jesus our Risen King and reflect on His incredible love for us. Afterwards we joined up with Krysta's extended family for lunch. The weather was perfect for the get together.

There were too many pictures to post here so click on the link below to the slideshow.

Lucy's Check-up

Lucy had her 9 month check-up yesterday and the Dr. says she is just devine. She is 27 3/4 inches long and 19 pounds which puts her in the 50th-70th percentile. She loves feeding herself and has been trying out broccoli, potatoes, grapes and rice lately. Yesterday she pulled herself up to standing to see Ella and I on the couch.

Watch out here she comes!

A new milestone for Lucy has arrived. Here is her third attempt at crawling. I couldn't get the camera fast enough to catch the first two. A day later, now that she has the hang of it, she is moving everywhere. Life has changed!! She is so excited about her new found trick.

This is how I found her after her nap. Sitting up! Little Lucy is getting stronger and growing rapidly again now that she is well.

This is one of Lucy's newest happy expressions. Enjoy!

Ma-Ma

Lucy is melting our hearts with her emerging personality. She learned to say Ma-Ma last Friday at Ruby Tuesday's. I left for the salad bar and she looked all around for me saying Ma-Ma, Ma-Ma. Then, last night she was calling for me and when I came in view she smiled and waved at me. When I waved back she got tickled and her whole body broke out the cutest expression.
