Easter Visit!

 Papaw, Memaw and Sharon came to visit us for Easter. Ivy decided we needed to have a carnival on the porch. We had all kind of treats!

Loving on Aunt Sharon!

 Well, Aunt Sharon always has to ride in the trunk!

Loving on Papaw!

Easter Eggs with Memaw!

Memaw got us Easter Buckets full of surprises!

We stopped by the seminary to get a few photos on the way to church! It's so hard to get everyone looking in the same direction!

Daddy's girls!

Spring is coming...

 Hayley Update:

 Hayley is a MESS! A BLESSING! A MESS!!!

Hayley loves hugs. She is so affectionate! She has the sweetest, most contagious laugh! She will lay for a long time in the mornings with her dad and just love on him. She gets so excited when her daddy comes home. She blows kisses to him. She just loves her daddy!

We pray constantly that God would help us shepherd this amazing creature to see that she needs her heavenly Father!

Lately, when she is in trouble she will come to me and put her hand on

 her bottom and say, "Mommy, you don't have to spank me! I'm ok"

Hayley is so smart! 

She makes connections, remembers things that I forget, 

tells me when I mess up and asks me to pray for her!

Hayley enjoys dressing up. She will play for an hour with a box of dress up clothes.

 Hayley just likes people!

Here she is with her friend Silas!

 This is Ivy and her friend Mallory Grace.

 We are thankful for warmer days, the ducks and picnics!

Paw and Nana Stewart

 Nannie and Paw came to visit us! We are so thankful they did!

 Hayley didn't want to have her picture made!

 Paw put a piece of card board on Ivy's bike to make it sound like a "motorcycle!"

 Nana pushed Hayley all around the porch!

 We went to feed the ducks!

 Ivy did some shows for us!

 We took Nana and Paw to Bernheim Forest!

 The "Fire Tower" was closed so we couldn't climb up. Hayley remembered climbing up last time. Can you see how upset she is?

 We took a hike...under the bridge, through the cave, through the creek....

 Paw carried Hayley!

 Paw told Hayley the different types of trees and let her touch them! She loved this!

 We had a snack!

 Paw took Ivy to Trader Joes and bought ice cream!

Ivy made a table decoration out of red peppers!

 Ivy set up a table full of things we could look at with the magnifying glass....

 We looked at coffee, sticks, mushrooms and more!

Paw and Nana, we love you! Thanks for coming!
