Ballet recital

 Karissa and her ballet class had a recital last Monday.  They performed to the song "Lullaby" by Celine Dion.

 Everyone did great!

I am working on getting the video on here.

Quiet Corner Tea and Coffee House

I had the pleasure recently to visit this beautiful little restaurant with some friends.  It is in the middle of nowhere over by Cherubusco, set back in the woods.  It is the coolest place!  So secluded and peaceful.  It is run by a husband and wife that used to work as missionaries.  They have the best chai and hot chocolate.  They do serve a few kinds of sandwiches, and they have a nice dessert menu.  The sandwiches are served on fresh homemade bread that is just great.  The desserts are different every day. 

 Here is our table, the sandwiches come with soup, too.  So good!

 Here is the teapot that the chai came in.  Isn't it precious!

My dessert!

I can't wait to go back, this place is so neat!

Weekend at Flora's 2011

We had a great time at our friends, the Flora's house the first weekend of April.  Yes, I know that was a month ago, we have been very busy and now it is time for me to catch up on pictures and blogging.  This is how we spent one afternoon, creating play dough art.  The penguin up top is mine, and the dino below belongs to Joel.

Karissa is preparing the dough to be her masterpiece.

This is also mine.  A hot dog, carrots and peas, mashed potatoes.  A complete meal!

Nessie, the play dough monster.

Diane and Karissa making scotcheroos, yum yum.  I could go for one right now.

At the wonderful park just walking distance from their house.

Yay!  Fun times!

Peekaboo!

Oliver figured out how to play peekaboo last night.  How can he be growing so fast?

Valentines

Karissa was ready to go this morning with all of the valentines that she had made for her classmates.  She wrote their names all by herself!  Preschool is so awesome :)

House pictures and Oliver crawling

Here are some pictures of the house.  It's nothing fancy yet, but we're working on it.  

Here is the messy kitchen. Forrest said he did this face because he knows I hate it when he raises his eyebrows in pictures.

The living room.

Another view of the living room looking into the kitchen.

The front porch, this is pretty much the catch-all room right now.

As promised, a video of Oliver crawling.  This was actually taken a few days ago, he has gotten much better since then, but I want to show his progress, too. :)

Jeans

My diaper is so chic.

When it's a #2, I look like #1.

The coolest you'll look pooping your pants.

Loved the commercial for these when they came out.  Hope this gave you a laugh.
