Catching up!

Once again, it's been ages since I've updated! Since we last chatted, we spent a week at Ethan's grandparent's house helping take care of Cole, we met our new niece, Mihiret, we helped celebrate 3 birthdays, Kaitlyn and I got to enjoy a day with the girls bargain shopping, and we had a visit from my parents, who had the rare privelege of looking after Ethan while he had the stomach flu my first week back at work! Poor kid was sick for 5 days ... not anybody's idea of a fun time. Hopefully we're all going to stay healthy for awhile! Looking forward to spring special meetings!

Bargain Hunting! A fun, fun day! Stopped for a quick break at Caribou's ... possibly spent more money there than on the bargains we were hunting down? I was so excited to find some really great jeanskirts ... so hard to find these days! Wish we could have stayed longer,but we wouldn't have wanted to miss out on Savanah's BEE day, either!

So exciting to get to meet our adorable new neice (wait, is it i before e or the other way around? I can't spell that word for some reason!) Mihiret that Rachel and Karlin adopted from Ethiopia! She is so funny and cute! She is very sociable and has plenty to say. She is also majorly flexible!! Check out the picture of her and the toes! Let's see how many of you can do that!

Our first stroller ride for the year! Happy spring everyone! PS Is it bad that I'm too cheap to buy my daughter a spring coat and she has to wear her brother's blue handmedown? PPS Rose, we love the stroller, thanks ... just one thing ... how do you get the back of the back seat to stay up? Good thing Ethan wanted to lay down, anyway!

Kaitlyn loved all the holding from Grandma Lynda! Ethan (pre flu) was having fun doing exercises with Grandpa Allan!
