Easter 2009

This year we spent Easter in Chicago.  Airawen has taken a huge liking to the piano.  It kept her busy for long periods of time.  She is so dainty with those little fingers.  Using only one finger on one key at a time.  Although, with the combination of mine and Tim's musical talent, the poor child doesn't stand a chance.

The big kids dying Easter eggs on Easter Eve.

Daddy taking Arie Alex around for the Easter egg hunt!  She loved picking up the eggs and putting them directly in her mouth. 

Eventually she learned to put the eggs in the basket. 

Arie Alex standing up all by herself again!  Doesn't she look so cute in her Easter dress?   Thanks again to the treasure trove of dresses at the Blazer's house.  Of course I went to all this time and energy over the Easter dress and shoes and then Arie Alex ended up sleeping through church and stayed home with Tim.  Go figure.  

Happy Easter!

Spring at Castle Mohr

It is spring here in St. Louis land.  It is one of my favorite times, because despite the neglect that our yard receives all year long, every spring, all these amazing flowers and plants turn green and spring up all over the place.   Here are a few pix from the back yard.  

There are other things coming into bloom during this season.  Our baby angel, who can throw the best fits, (mostly over not being aloud to touch things like, the remote, my camera, our cell phones,)  is learning to stand up without holding on to the furniture for support.  She is the most precious little girl, even when she is crying.  This round of tears was brought on by mama not letting her chew on the camera.

Notice the extremely cute outfit Grandma Bonnie made for Arie Alex?

Ahhhhhhh!  But we found a passie, and it was all better after that!  See how great I am at standing up?
