I hope everyone had a nice Easter weekend! Here are pictures from ours- it shows just how life is these days. I learned at Christmas not to stress over pictures. So now it is one or two pictures and that's it. If 3 of the 5 of us look decent then hey, we've got a picture.

Lincoln, Coleman, and Catherine at my parents.... I think this is cute even though Coleman is screaming and Catherine is so serious!

Here is our family picture. The one that I didn't post captured Catherine's hand right in the middle of Coleman's face and Lincoln's face is smiling but his eyes were watching Catherine touch Coleman. So, here is our picture with 3 of us looking decent.

Here are the kids after hunting eggs. Anna Lea is holding Madeline. Tyler is sad because he thought Lincoln had more eggs. What he didn't know was that Lincoln had easter grass in his basket making it look like more eggs. Anna Lea was so sweet. She gave Tyler half of her eggs and said "Here Tyler. I don't care how many eggs I have."

Other cute happenings:

Lincoln likes to ask questions about my wedding rings and why "daddy" gave them to me. After I answer all 50 questions he says "Mommy, I am going to marry you and live with you forever!" I just savor it because I know in 10 years that won't be the case.

Catherine is turning two April 23 and we are practicing saying "two". While Catherine likes to talk and sing, her words are far from clear. We have been practicing saying "Hi. I am Catherine. I am two." The only thing that's clear is "HI" and "two". She holds up all 5 fingers for two. It is so cute!

Monday, Catherine walked to our bathroom, pulled her pants down, took off her diaper, and said in her words that she wanted to go tee tee. Honestly, I thought "Great, this isn't what I wanted to do yet." But I went along with it and by the end of the day she had gone to the bathroom in the potty. However, the next day she went to Mother's Day Out and since then she hasn't been extremely interested (except in flushing the toilet and putting her hands in it- yuck). I am somewhat relieved. We will go back to it soon- just not today or this month.

Catherine finally weighs 20 pounds! Just this week. Coleman weighed 11 lb 4 oz this week at his 2 month appointment. He will weigh more than her by the time he is 6 months!

I am starting a Beth Moore series with some of my friends from church. It is the Breaking Free series. I am very excited about this study. Have any of you completed it? We just finished week 1. I know God will do great things in ourlives through this study.

Blessings to all of you-
