My parents recently celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary. My brothers and I threw them a party to celebrate. Here they are, just before the party began, looking dapper:

We even managed to get our kids to pose all together:

Lorelai really enjoyed the dancing more than almost anyone else in the room.You can see her in the brown dress throughout the video below. She had a lasso move and a "riding a horse" move. The band gave her the "Best Dancer Award for 2013, 2012, and 2011." 

Easter

Some photos from Easter weekend

Ephraim wanted a carrot cake for Easter and Lorelai wanted a bunny cake, so we came up with a compromise and had the bunny leave "easter eggs" on the grassy field on half of the cake. 

Jane's latest

Jane cut her friend's hair the other day. oops!

And today I found Jane sleeping in the bathroom shortly after finishing her bath. Even 3 1/2 year olds can look like angelic babies sometimes. :)

A letter from Lorelai

A letter from Lorelai...

The letter says "Mom, I love you. And I love Yier Hasbend Dad. I Love My body." 

Her positive attitude and love is great to witness. And she is like this every day. I could learn much from her. :)

A Bit More Feminine Around Here?

Lorelai just purchased her first makeup set and she is in heaven. She even agreed to let Jane be her model. Very fun and cute. I'm enjoying watching this girly stuff. I'm beginning to join in a little, too. I even took the time to paint the girls' toenails the other day. (Note: ALL the boys, Dad included, complained about the smell of the  polish! Boys just don't get it!)

6th graders....
