Happy Easter!

We hope everyone has a wonderful Easter remembering God's son and his sacrifice for us. I was overwhelmed in church last Sunday thinking about God sacrificing his child for me. How much He must love us to do that and how easily I can forget it or doubt it! What a gift we have been given to be saved by a just God! Jeff, Kate, and I hope and pray your hearts are filled with peace and joy always as we celebrate how Great our God is.



Here is Kate showing off her Easter outfit from Nonnie. It's so cute with its bunny rabbits and it's just the right shade of blue for March Madness time!!!



Kate is enjoying the NCAA tournament-she's been practicing her dunks and her cheering for all our teams-Go Tarheels! She even filled out her own bracket by following her heart and choosing her favorite teams-UNC, Butler, and Duke-to go far in the "Big Dance". This picture is actually a bit scary because she looks like me (Maria-as if you didn't know) yelling at the TV screen during a basketball game.

Spring is Finally Here!


We had some fun in the warm weather today. Kate loves to have her feet tickled and was so glad to be barefoot! We also went on a long walk today to a horse farm that is behind our neighborhood. One of the horses seems to know Kate and comes up to the fence to see her everytime we visit. He is so beautiful (and huge) and Kate loves it. She calls him by making clicking noises with her tongue and everytime she sees a toy horse or one in a book she makes the same noise. It is so cute, but of course I think everything she does is cute!

Sweet Girl



Need some help Dad?


Kate likes to be outside anytime, but especially when her Dad is out there working. I'm sure she's dreaming of the day when she'll be big enough to help!

Happy Birthday Nana, Mama-Mama, Uncle Dan, and Grandma


Okay, as the title suggests, we celebrate a lot of birthdays in our family in the month of March. We've celebrated two thus far, two more to go! Uncle David came to visit to celebrate Nana's birthday. We had lots of fun all being together. Very special people are born in the month of March. We love you all! Here is Kate helping Nana open her gifts.

Gina the Great Visits!


Aunt Gina came to visit at the end of February and she brought birthday presents!!! Some great clothes, pink puppy, and a little duck that goes quack, quack-which Kate now says when she sees one of her rubber ducks. We had a great time visiting with her and visiting every restaurant possible-ranging from super nice places like 1705 Prime to your good ol' southern establishments like Knighdale Seafood and Barbecue. Come back soon Aunt Gina (not just because of the food)! I also must add that Aunt Gina keeps Kate in style-see the cool Uggs that Kate has been wearing all winter below. I mean really, how many babies have an Aunt that lives in New York City and keeps her trendy? Kate is one lucky girl.
