Spring and Birthdays

It has been several months since we've posted last. Spring has come, finally, and the kids love to be back outside again. Ryan likes to put on his shoes because he knows that means he gets to go out. He started walking. For the first few weeks he would walk with both arms stretched out for balance, one arm further than the other. He looked like superman. He is getting around very well now. We celebrated his 1st birthday in March. Meghan turned 7 at the end of April. Levi, Jenny, and the boys were in town for her birthday and stayed for a week after. We all enjoyed spending time with them. This past weekend we had a banquet at our church honoring some graduates. We all got dressed up for the occasion. Of course, the girls were excited as they are always looking for an occasion to dress up.

Amanda was kind enough to pull them around.





This has become a favorite hat to put on Ryan.



This goofy hat was compliments of Brandon after he returned from Europe.

Meghan is now 7. In case you can't tell from the picture, her theme was strawberry shortcake.
