Update on the Mommy Duck

Hello everyone, yesterday we found some eggs that were thrown out of the nest that have hatched. It looks like there are only three, I'm not sure if they all hatch at different times or what. This is all very new too me. Mommy must be sitting on the new ducks cuz we don't see any yet.

Toothless Grin

Isaac lost his two bottom teeth and he looks so cute,
I just wanted to share it with you!

Look at what Isaac found today!!!

While I was busy cleaning and vacuming the van, Isaac ran to me and said there is a dead momma duck in the back yard. So I went to check this out not sure of what I was going to see, but as I looked a little more, it moved. It was sitting in a nest that she must have built, which looked soft and comfy. She was nesting under the kids' swingset play yard. So now we have to wait paitiently to see the baby ducks! How fun to have our own little science project in our own backyard.

Happy Birthday Levi

Our baby is now 3 years old, where did that time go?? Anyways we celebrated his birthday on Easter Sunday with both families. Levi loves the movie Cars, so Cars was the theme this year and almost everything he got was Cars related - books, a beach towel, and a sweatshirt which he is wearing in one of the pictures. All of the cousins on Mark's side had to get in on one of the pictures too!

Pictures of "Baby Noah" and his cousins

The boys were so excited to see "Baby Noah" again. That is what he is called at our house. I hope Ross and Jamie don't mind, but I think it's kind of cute. Levi loves to touch him and he wanted to take Noah home with him. Ethan and Isaac have big plans already planned for their cousin Noah when he gets bigger, like sleep overs, sledding and playing in the creek. I love that they love him and talk about him all the time!

We went to visit them last night at 10:00 pm. Noah is so cute and so little. We didn't get a chance to hold him cuz it was late and we didn't stay too long. We are planning to go back tomorrow after church to visit, so hopefully we will have more pictures. I can't believe my baby brother is a daddy!!!! Congratulations Ross and Jamie - he is so cute!

God's Beauty

Yesterday, our family took a ride out to Lake Michigan to check out all the icebergs. It was just unbelievable to see God's beauty through the different formations. The kids had so much fun "walking on water" and throwing ice chunks into the lake.
