Beloved Heart Pillow

Here is Ren's Heart Pillow that her Aunt Alli P. made. Ren adores this pillow. Can you tell?
She doesn't even use her normal pillow anymore. Would you?

Aunt Alli, I love you so much! Thank you for this big pillow and God please keep it safe and Aunt Alli you worked so hard and you really really really and please and please and please help Aunt Alli and thank you Jesus that you gave her a good brain and thank you God and I appreseate you and I love you so much and I love it and I love it and I love it so much bigger than the earth and thank you God for everything. (The Peanut had gotten out of bed and I was putting these pictures on the blog and asked if she wanted to say anything about the pictures to Aunt Alli and this is what came gushing out. I could hardly keep up typing.)

Jack Huckleberry H.

This is my new nephew. I love him. He is now 15 weeks old, but he was 12 weeks old in these pictures. I have made Huckleberry his middle name, because I heard that it was in the running for a name at some point. I love the name. They decided against it knowing that Huck would be his nickname and children with slurs would be shouting his name........Huck! Buck! F@#K! Oops.

Look at his paws.

I love this picture. He's so cute.

Happy Belated Easter!

I'm back online with a computer that works and my picture software reloaded!
To get these cousins to group together for a picture before the hunt was a feat. Understandably, it's adult torture to make them wait to take a picture when they can smell candy in the air.
Once again it was a bitterly cold and drab Michigan Easter, but thankfully the adults were drinking wine to keep them warm and the kids were warming up for candy.

They crack me up.

That Bird can really fly.

I had to capture this shot, because not only myself, but David AND Alison gave Ren about a hundred different clues for this one as she was standing in front of it looking right at it. I wish I had gotten a before shot of her staring.

The Legumes happily leaving the gazebo after finding some blatantly placed eggs..........

......and then conversing about what their next move should be.

David and Paul yucking it up over some of the eggs they hid for the big kids. Actually, there is still an egg out there for Christopher somewhere........but we have no idea where.

"Christopher, turn your head buddy!"

More strategizing.

This is a personal favorite of mine. Yes, that would be a spoon jammed into the side of a poll with an egg delicately balanced. David thought this brainchild up and Christopher actually found it.

I love to hold this little hand. Happy late Easter!

Moving in with love to help.

This is what Ren did as soon as we put the sheet on her long awaited
BIG GIRL BED!!!
None of these pictures are in any kind of order.....

Here is the last day with Grandma and Grandpa.

Aunt Alli catching a good passed out cuddle.

Grandma working her fingers to the bone on our wood floors.

There are more shots of this trip to the ice cream shop, but because of technical difficulties I couldn't get them.

This is David rolling out the last coat in our room and below is a great shot of Aunt Alli and Dax before we take them to the airport.
We love and miss you all!

Do evil powers urinate?

Lately Ren has been really trying to figure this guy satan out. It's not exactly what David and I want her to focus on, but I remember being pretty interested myself when I was little.
Today when we were in the bathroom together she said, "Mama, does satan go pee?"
