Will You Marry Me?

When I picked Abby up from preschool one day last week I found this note taped outside her classroom door:

The hopeful bride after a day of preschool.

The brother of the hopeful bride after a day of daycare.

Mother of the hopeful bride after a long day of work.

Happy Easter

He is risen! We had a great Easter. Chip had to work so we did an early morning egg hunt in our living room. The kids opened their baskets - William's was pirate-themed and Ab's was art-themed. Chip and I got a tent for Easter...we can't wait to use it!  The kids and I went to church and came home and spent a relaxing day doing laundry and playing. Here are some pictures. Enjoy!

Summer in Spring

Despite the snow that fell today, we actually had a bout of warm weather a couple of weeks ago.  In western New York fashion, we didn't waste the opportunity to play outside.

Splish Splash

Ab went to a classmate's birthday party yesterday - a pool party.  She had a blast. 

Strong Work, Strong Play

Chip and I took a day off work to spend some time with the kids.  We decided to take them to Strong Museum of Play in Rochester.  Ab had a good time; William had a good time being held.  Here are a few pictures:
