Ready for the Baptism!
Mateo was feeling pretty happy about getting dressed up in his baptism outfit! Emily took the kids to Riverside Park for this photo shoot. The first semi-sunny day in a week! As you can see from the background, the flowers are loving all the rain, and the Grand River (waaayyy in the background) is overflowing its banks. Linnea tells me that she and Marcos were "running around" while Em was taking this photo. No doubt that's what was keeping Mateo smiling - he sure loves to watch his brother and cousin!So thankful that the worst of the storms missed us. It's heartbreaking to hear about the devastation in other parts of the south and mid-west. Sure are keeping those folks in our prayers.
The Lopez' will be traveling back to Morelia to spend 3 weeks, introducing the rest of the family to Mateo, celebrating his baptism and mother's day and generally enjoying some nice warm weather!
Jill and Nea will be house-sitting for them while their gone. I have a feeling that after all this rain, that lawn mowing will be one of the duties as well.....(sorry, Jilly!).
The mama robin on our porch is acting like she may have hatched some babies recently. No official sighting, but guessing there could be as many as 4 babes.
I'd better get to bed soon. I'm heading over to Mom's around 5:30am to royal-watch with her, do some grocery shopping and get to a Dr.'s appt. on that side of town. Issac will be stopping by too....A full day.

Happy Easter
Jill has been getting ready to do this for a while.....Sunday marks the official start to a "smoke free" lifestyle.. Yeah Jill! We're all rooting for her. She's got a Facebook challenge going to get inspirational support posters sent to her and so far, she's received a few really nicely done "atta-girls".
This is a ring Jill's been using as incentive to quit smoking as well. It's her "reward" to self for getting to this point. She even had her car detailed to remove smoke smell, clean and restore the interior. Very symbolic too of the benefits fresh air in her lungs!
Mateo and Grandpa, watching the action in the kitchen.
Linnea in her bunny ears, decorating easter eggs.
Easter preparations were well underway ....the Lopez' came for a visit and after the decorating, our house was "nap central" as Em, Mateo, Jill and Nea snuggled down for a couple of hours. I enjoyed some play time with Marcos and he and Grandpa watched some TV in between watching the coming and going of the robin family and their nest tending. A robin has made a nest and laid two beautiful blue eggs on our front porch.
Yes, the birds eggs are about the color of Linnea's eyes!
Winter seemed awfully long this year and its so wonderful to see some sunshine. Thunder storms last night and cloudy, rainy days this past week have primed us to be especially grateful for the signs of spring.
Note the updated backyard view in the header at the top of this page - no more snow! This is a view from the swing in the back.
