Easter Day!!!

Happy Resurrection Day!!! We started off on Saturday by coloring eggs , Eric,Josh and Mallory enjoyed that alot! Then it was off to our Resurrection Celebration at our church....they hunted for eggs and had the story of what Easter is all about read to them my Miss Michelle (or Miss Shell as Mallory calls her!!)

Well, any time our family can get together and eat is a celebration!!! Our family is known for "living to eat!", we don't "eat to live". We had a rosemary and garlic stuffed roast leg of lamb, ham, fresh mint sauce (nicknamed "decoupage" from my brother Darren!) garlic mashed taters, cranberry glazed carrots, green beans, roasted vegetables, and angel cake with fresh strawberries and a ricotta cake!!! Yes, we outdid ourselves with food again, but it was all wonderful. Should we start our diet now??? Shawn and Gage had to get back to UF and USF so we ate a little early, we missed Brian and Eric , they had to work .. and Mallory decided to show off her new "big girl panties" at the table...what a sight!

NEW ADDITION!!

Well, we have a new addition to our family! I found Missy at the Animal Shelter. So far she has been a wonderful dog...she is gentle and quiet, and tolerates the kids!!! She hasn't nipped anyone or shown any aggression. I was told she was "fixed" by the animal shelter , but from the picture of her in one of Mallory's diapers you know she isn't!!!!......So her surgery is booked for April18th!!!! YEA!!!

Eric and Josh have a new addiction, okay, me too...GUITAR HERO!!!.....Eric rented it last weekend and we played for almost 2 days straight!!! (except for the hours we went to church!) We had a blast and the competition is fierce!!! The boys are coming over for Easter in 2 days and there will definitely be a showdown!!!! I will keep you posted!

MMMM ...GOOD!

This is Josh and Mallory doing what they do best....eat! Josh loves to make chocolate chip cookies all by himself now. They both love to cook and be my helpers...

Here we are!!!

Ok, so now we are back...for those of you who followed us through Mallory's adoption on our website...we have our new family website here. So check in anytime and post notes for us!!! we would love to hear from you!

Josh is riding his bike for the first time with the help of Uncle B...yes, it took quite a while for him to want to learn , but he did it and we are so proud of him!!!

Mallory is here with her baby that G-ma Sandy made for her...isn't she adorable!!! She is taking orders!!!
