Happy Easter!

Well, the Easter Bunny knows we don't do much candy 'round here and really hooked up the kiddos Easter baskets with fun stuff this year. I guess it is because that smart bunny has been collecting things here and there since January!
Griffin's favorite thing was, of course, candy related. His very first Pez dispenser...ahhh, the joy of popping crappy bits of candy out one by one. I have to brag on Griff real quick. I forgot to tell him last night to not get into his Easter basket until Mama and Papa get up. As I was drifting to sleep I thought about how leaving the baskets on the kitchen table he was sure to see them and dig in as soon as he woke up. But...being the amazing little dude he is, when he woke up and saw his basket he did not even touch it until we got up some time later and told him he could. In fact, I woke up this morning to the noise of Griffin in Lucy's room, him telling her about how the Easter bunny had left her some treats too. It was too cute!
And Lucy's favorite thing was a fluffy bunny she cuddled with all morning- thanks, Marinos!!
(She is still sick and that accounts for those PUFFY eyes.)

wow, those easter baskets look amazing. sounds like a fun time this morning playing with all the wonderful things the easter bunny left them.

jake and casey received their first pez candy dispenser last week when a neighbor stopped by and gave them as a gift. jake engulfed his candies in no time, while casey has still yet to get through all hers.

way to go griffin for understanding to wait until everyone is up before opening gifts. i'm amazed he wakes up and plays all by himself for a while until you wake up. my kids have never ever done that.

miss you guys. love the photo of lucy hugging her bunny, even when she's sick she's adorable.

Griffin George is 21.

Our dear boy....man, is 21 today!  Since the legal drinking age where he lives in Germany, is 18, it's not quite the big deal there that it is here.  Griffin is THRIVING!  He has his own apartment, a great job, a close group of friends and strong relationships with his family so many miles away.  We honestly can not be more proud of how he has handled the hurdles that were thrown at him this year.  His resilience and dedication to making his own way in the world is so admirable.  And one of his best traits?  He calls his Mama (almost) every week. We love you, Griff!  Can't wait to see you in a couple months!   Birthday Interview What activities/sports/clubs were you involved in this year? N/A What pets do you have?

Lucy is 17.

Our dear girl is 17 today.  What an incredible year it has been! She started last summer by going to stay at Berea College for a 3-day leadership conference that she had been selected to attend by her high school.  She made some new friends, had some adventures and learned some truly crazy cheers (OUTSTANDING!!!!). After a great summer on the beaches of Cape Cod with our family, she transitioned to preparing to leave for her junior year at the Gatton Academy on the campus of Western Kentucky University.  From our perspective, this school year has been an incredible opportunity for Lucy.  She has learned how to live peacefully with her (previously unknown) roommate in a tiny dorm room.  She has excelled at university level scholarly pursuits, earning her way on the President's list her first semester.  She's made a tight group of lovely, interesting new friends and nurtured the bonds with old ones.  She's been able to go on several college tours and we ...

Lucy Loo is 3 today

My sweet baby girl is 3 today. What an amazing 3 years we've had with her. She is so happy, so sweet, super silly and loving. Her smile lights up my heart, her giggle is the most beautiful music to my ears, her artwork is more stunning to my eyes than any piece hanging in the Louvre. I love how she plays in her room alone, constantly babbling away and singing silly made-up songs. I love how she loves to play outside for hours but cries at the end of the day because of her dirty hands. I love how much she loves her friends and looks forward to seeing them. I love being her favorite person, her port in the storm, her anchor. I love her passion for creating art, for animals, for books and for her beloved brother. I love her sense of humor and comedic timing. Parenting her is such a gift, so rewarding, so challenging, always keeping me on my growing edge. and without further ado....
