My sweet little girl is growing up. Not much new in a month.  We have gotten Esther to laugh a few more times, and she’s rolled over from her tummy to her back. She also has become quite vocal lately. She still loves to watch her big sister and is a people person. No cuddling with this little girl. She wants to see what is going on and is always moving.

Spring break is this week, so we took the girls to the zoo. It was a beautiful day and I think everyone else had the same idea. The place was packed, and there was no parking. We had to park down some side street and walk a good distance to get there. We had a great time in spite of the crowds. The elephants were the best. We got to see them up close and they were getting a bath. The zoo keeper gave one of the elephants a command and it laid down so they could scrub its’ back. It was so neat. We enjoyed our picnic lunch on a bench in front of the bald eagles. What beautiful birds. After lunch we visited some more animals and then headed home. Naomi looked so tired and we thought she would fall asleep on the way home, but no such luck. She was singing and talking. No such luck when we got home either. We put her down for a nap and she didn’t fall asleep for almost an hour. Then she crashed. When we checked on her she had taken off her dress. What a silly girl.

Christ is risen! Praise the Lord! We serve a risen Savior. We had a nice Resurrection Sunday. We went to the church in Castle Rock. Shaun was asked to preach for Pastor Nelson who is recovering from a broken arm. Then we came home and had a nice Easter lunch with two couples from our church.

Amy and I took the girls to get their pictures taken in their Easter dresses. They looked so cute. If you want to see the pictures click here.

Life is always full of fun with Naomi.  She has been giddy the last couple of days.  Showing off and laughing at everything.  I don’t know why, but she piled all her animals on the toilet.  Then, she pulled this sheet out and I thought, “hey let’s make a tent.”  My brother and I used to make tents all the time and had a blast doing it. Naomi thought it was pretty neat.  She had me pull her table and chair under the tent.  Then, she had fun pulling the tent down.
