Meeting Micah

We were so excited to get to meet Micah this weekend. He is the newest addition to the Canwell family and is the cutest little guy! Pepper was very excited to meet her little cousin. She gave him lots of kisses and made sure his paci was in place at all times.

The Pleasures of Dirt

The yard looks so cool right now. Freshly plowed dirt is somehow so pleasing to look at... and roll in according to Pepper and the dogs.

The Loot

Pepper and Zeke came back to the house to enjoy the spoils from the hunt. They found stickers, bandaids, bubbles and the occasional jackpot.... CANDY!

Egg Hunt

Our lack of grass and abundance of dirt had us heading to John and Pat's yard for the Easter Egg Hunt. The kids are still young enough to not be too competitive about the finding the eggs, but they became pretty excited about it as they found more and more. For a couple months after this Pepper kept asking to hunt eggs every time we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Easter Brunch

This year for Easter we had some friends out to join us for brunch. It is so fun to be in a house big enough to have get togethers like this! We had so much great food, I just couldn't get enough. After brunch we dyed eggs. I tried using koolaid as the dye and it worked pretty well. It was unsweetened but smelled really good so little fingers kept dipping for taste test. I am pretty sure they were a bit dissapointed with what they found.

Uncle/Auntie Time

We enjoyed another day in Redlands with Carl and Mindy before our vacation had to end. Pepper loves that her Auntie and Uncle are such good playmates. They are so much fun!

Good-bye Palm Desert

After spending most of the week enjoying the sunshine and pool, it was time for us to head back to Redlands, then home. Joy, Peter, girls, John, and Pat headed out early for a whirlwind Disneyland day. What a fun time we had together!

Good-bye hugs...

and kisses.

Thank you for joining us!
