Day 43: Best toy in the world!!

Neva got a birthday gift today! It's from my brother and sister-in-law in California. While the bouncey zebra is wonderful (and so stinking cute!), the thing Neva has been playing with all afternoon is… the box. Go figure. She likes to climb. She is her daddy's daughter.... :)

You can see the zebra in the background! :)

Day 42: Cutest Girl EVER!!

The more Neva is growing and developing her personality, the more I like her. We're a lot alike, I wonder if that's going to come back and bite me later? If all else fails, go outside. This has been a constant since she was a week or two old. Last summer, we would spends hours walking from here to there and back again when nothing else seemed to soothe her. This reigns as true today as it did then. However, ten it put her to sleep, now she just take everything in. This little girl takes nothing for granted, I love how she's reminding me to do the same. :)

Day 41: Happy Easter!

He is risen! What a wonderful day and an amazing thing to celebrate. :) We are so blessed.

This morning, we wanted to do the Easter basket thing with Neva but wanted to make sure the grandparents didn't miss out on it. Thank goodness for Skype! Even though we are 2,000 miles away, they are still able to be here for all the events! :) We had one set on one computer, and the other set on the other. :)

Easter basket time!!!

The slinkys were a hit... with everybody :)

What a wonderful husband I have, to be so silly with his little girl!! :)

I really liked the carrot.....

Honestly, I'm just happy that we had an uneventful morning. (She made it through the morning and the whole church service without any blowouts or stains on her pretty dress!!) What an amazing thing it is to serve a gracious and risen Lord! :) Happy Easter everyone!!

Day 40: Playing catch up!

Oh my lordy, I'm still slacking!! Things have been so busy with getting Sweetie Wraps off the ground (which now is legit and on the grid with both the city and the IRS!), volunteering with the Crisis Pregnancy Center of Tidewater, prepping for the Walk for Life 2012, and the craft show at the Virginia Beach Farmer's Market.... I'm tired. Not to mention my daughter has decided she's ready to be a toddler now! Ack!! :)

Now that the excuses are out of the way, let's get down to the fun part: pictures! You can see what I've been up to! :) 

In a rare moment where Tim wasn't working or doing school work, he was able to hang out with us and play!! Neva took full advantage and is lounging with her daddy. Murphy (as always) is getting in some lovin' where he sees a vacant hand.

 Got your glasses!!! A never-ending battle....

 Ya know, for an old geezer of a dog, he sure is pretty. :) We really lucked out with this pup. We got him 2 1/2 weeks after we got married, he was 5. Murphy is now 9 and some change, and one of the most laid back, tolerant puppies ever. He has had to re-evaluate his escape strategies since Neva has learned how to walk. :)

Neva's very first Easter basket!! She was born the day after Easter last year, so we missed it... by 10 1/2 hours. What a wonderful day though!! :)

I have a hunch that many changes are around the bend, but they'll be for the better. I'm very excited to see where God leads us this next season! :) God bless and Happy Easter!!
