We had an extra special Easter this year. Not only did our friends from NC come, for what’s becoming a tradition but……….they got to be here for Lauren’s baptism. She’s been waiting and reminding me that she’s waiting 
But what a wonderful day to be baptized on and all the more special to get to share it with life long friends.
Really neat that Ken got to participate in baptizing her, extra special for both of them.
Proud, teary eyed mommy!

Little Miss is thrilled with her new found mobility ~well new when these pictures were taken 
She loves to crawl everywhere, over under no obstacle is too daunting. She’s pulling to standing on anything that looks to her like it can get her upright. She’s even started pushing around a walking toy, not sure I’m ready for her to be that mobile. I’ve forbid anyone to further encourage her 
Crawling is the quickest and easiest for her, she is quite speedy and won’t let anything get in her way or slow her down too much.
She loves cruising……using anything that will move with her.
She is enjoying feeding herself all types of snack food. Her current favorites are graham crackers and potato straws.
When she awakes in the morning or from her nap she thinks it’s hilarious to cruise around the crib rail and then throw anything she can reach ….out
loves, loves, loves a cabinet, doesn’t matter what's inside. She likes to crawl in, toss things out, open and shut the door, just sooo many things one can do with a cabinet
She loves to “help” me…..putting items in the dryer, moving around my sweep pile, crawling into the open dishwasher, rearranging the pantry, inspecting the toilet paper roll
She is certainly keeping us laughing and on our toes. It’s fun to see her have so much fun and amazement at things the rest of us consider quite ho-hum.

While getting the garden ready we encountered many earthworms, Caleb became fascinated and so we’ve started a worm observatory. We’ll be watching them work their magic on their new habitat.
looking…….. finding…….. filling……..
the many layers of our habitat one of our big worms
We’re watching our busy worms make our layers of stuff into nice rich soil. Caleb is captivated as one dirt digger to another .
