Adorable kid things

I forgot one adorable thing the toddlers were doing before we drove to go to get pictures taken. Liesl would hug Gavin in a big bear hug and then look at him and say " Gavin, do you love me?" and he would nod his head up an down and then she would give him a big bear hug again. I wish that I had gotten it on video. They had some very nice play time. I love it when they get together. Something new always seems to come out of the play. I just wish that Liesl would get a nap in before they play together just once but it never seems to work out that way so sorry to Gavin for some of the mood swings she may have. 

Easter Pictures with the Perry Kids

I think I love doing Easter pictures the best with the kids. It has been a year since we have gotten them done together. i am so glad that the Perrys planned the outing and found that wonderful place in Macomb Mall with the live bunnies and duckies! The kids all behaved so well and they had a Romper Room for them to play in while waiting for the pictures to be taken or printed. There were lots of kitchen toys there to play with and also a flat-screen on the wall to watch movies on (Toy Story 3). We had a little lunch before going from the new Rochester Mexi -Resturaunt and then some more Tacos while waiting for the pictures to be developed. That was super great being able to take the pictures home with us. I have prints for anyone who might want some and many more poses than I am going to post here. PLUS, we have a disc we can print them from. Let me know what you would like and don't be shy.


Aunt Gloria is going to take some pictures of Liesl in my wedding dress sometime soon. We are planning on taking the same picture every year for her scrapbook. I am excited. I went through a trial run with her but my camera is really screwed up. Hope to get a new one soon. Maybe by the end of the month? I am hoping. Looking forward to our photo shoot Aunt Gloria!



Liesl is really into wearing a "beautiful dress" every day she asks to dress up. So she has been wearing all of her dresses lately. I love to play with her long hair and braid it and run my fingers through it. She is really excited about wearing her flower girl dress and crown in Amber's wedding in August. I remember Amber so well when she was Liesl's age. She was such a fun little kid.


She has been having a lot of fun with all of her little plastic toys. I have gotten her more mommas and babies of her animals and have been looking for more dinosaurs but not finding any. Today I found a sale on the Schleigh toys and bought a bunch of them really cheap to add to her collection. She is going to have to earn them though my "doing her chores". She has not been napping still during the day except when I have her and a few scattered times (which I am grateful for). I am not blaming anyone for not accomplishing the nap. It is not your fault Omas don't worry about that. I know it is not for lack of trying. She can be an awful stubborn little girl. A couple weeks ago we were looking after Ota while mom and dad were on vacation. Liesl enjoyed being home with me and Ota for those 5 days in a row. She has been asking to talk to me more during the day and getting very stubborn and upset and asking for me and wanting to go home. It passes quickly though and she is patient enough to wait for me to pick her up. She has been a lot easier to pick up in the evenings because she is looking forward to going home to spend time with momma and daddy. She does have an awesome time with the Omas. I am not taking away from that. thank you for all of your hard work all day Omas.

Thank you also for all of your support with the passing of Liesl's Uncle Allan. It has been a hard couple weeks for us and we really appreciate all that all of you have done for us. I have been trying to get out thank you notes but have not had much time for it yet. I have not forgotten though. I hope you all understand.

Looking forward to Spring! I hope these pictures help it along

Love, Momma
