Easter, Moving & A Whole Lot More

From Josh & Mel on Date Night -

First, we'll explain date night. We've realized that only taking time for us every few months doesn't work, so whether we go out or stay in, date night now comes once a week. This week, we are looking at family pictures and sharing our awesome month with you.

That month has been full of action. We are rapidly approaching our move to "Yuppieville",we have entertained a few out-of-town guests and celebrated Easter with local friends. Here are the highlights:

Dad and Lad came in for a 4-day Halloween convention (yes a Halloween convention) - apparently the largest in the US. They both really spend the whole year waiting for this "holiday" and this convention was equivalent to two kids in a candy store. They were able to get some quality time with the kids however, and they were very sleepy as you can see.







Josh's Mom made a turn-around trip just for fun.



Took the kids to the zoo and they saw the baby elephant with Mamaw Joanie.


Hannah Kate turned 1 - Happy Birthday! We were lucky enough to help a dear friend celebrate her first birthday. The Broges have been our St. Louis family since we moved here and we are so blessed and thankful to have them. Both of our families have done some crazy growing in the past 6 years, but they remain so good to us...check out the play date pictures as well!



Easter-egg hunt with the Broges (It's hard to get a family photo these days!)



Easter lunch & another Easter-egg hunt (who can have too many?) If you thought a family photo was tough, try getting six beautiful active babies in one!!! What a bunch of cuties!



General photos of the boys - Enjoy!



Graham recently got his AFO braces to help him learn to walk and he is using them to really stand a lot more. He and Henri always enjoy looking out the back door to search for our neighbors cats.



Can't get over that babies beautiful eyes....Henri also really enjoys reading to Graham any chance he gets.



That beautiful baby is so candid...he looks more like his Daddy everyday.



It's funny how Graham is starting to get around, and we are finding ourselves taking the same pictures of him as we did with Henri...in cabinets, on the dishwasher..etc.
