can't wait to see these two...

Within the next two weeks, I'm hoping we'll get to visit with these two little ladies.

Here is Ella with the boys at Easter. Next to Ben are his cousins - Brandon and Luke. Ben missed the memo on the rugged look. :)

This is cousin Katie holding Evie. So sweet...both of them.

We haven't seen the twins since Easter and we're long overdue! We're looking to celebrate Emily's birthday along with Mother's Day sometime during the weekend of the 22nd. I can't wait! I miss them!

burrito anyone?

This is my favorite kind of burrito!

Not long ago, Gavin was over at our place to hang out. While he was here, it was nap time. I just couldn't resist sneaking into our room to check out the cuteness that slept on the bed. I heart him!

i miss her...

About 2 weeks ago, my best friend was in town. I was lucky enough to see her for a bit...she had a full schedule. Despite her busy plans, Laura still made time for all of us to gather for dinner one night. Here's an image we captured while dining with a group of her closest friends.

(Don't mind the fact that my face is orange, and you can barely see my eyes.)

never too early to learn...

When Gavin hangs out with Auntie Anne, he gets to experience her teaching skills...first hand.

Here he is sitting nicely in class. You can tell he's focusing on the lesson.

Next up, Gavin raises his hand to ask a question.

Here he is using his words!

His question was pretty silly and he begins to laugh (man, this totally mirrors my life in a classroom full of 7th graders). Oh, and notice the perfect rolls under that chin! Love those!

Finally, Gavin is ready for school to be over. He needs a break and he's counting down the days until summer vacation (or maybe his auntie is the one with the countdown).

i just can't get enough...

Could he be any cuter?

Gavin loves to spend time on his backside. He will squeal and kick until he's got everyone looking his direction. (I guess that's the Weber in him.) :)


And these little shoes are just too sweet.
