Happy Easter!

This is a video we made for Nanny and Papa, but thought everyone could share in the fun. We hope everyone has a safe and fulfilling Easter Sunday!



Also wanted to share some photos of our Easter fun. Yesterday (Saturday), we dyed some easter eggs. We started with 8 and ended up with 4 and one leg of Aaron's pants covered in pink dye! Probably not too bad, considering the age and activity level of Aaron!



Here are our 4 eggs! The pink one was my egg. I put each of our first initials on and did a border at the top - you can't really see much of it!

This is Aaron's egg!

This one was Tim's egg.
We let the kids (only Aaron, really) dig into their Easter baskets right away in the morning, had some breakfast, and then headed to church for the 10:30 service.





Aaron hunted Easter eggs (in the house because it was a little too windy for Maggie to be outside) and Aaron enjoyed some time outside this afternoon.










We are grilling steaks this evening for our Easter dinner. We were going to share the day with Aunt Beth, but she got sick.... booo! Hoping that she's feeling better soon- we missed spending the day with her.

Happy Easter!

Beauty queen and her handsome big brother!

Sharing some photos of Aaron and Maggie from the past week. She's a wonderful little lady and Aaron loves her already! He tries to share toys with her, even though he does understand that she can't play with them yet. I knew that he really loved her when he shared one of his tape measures with her the other day!

Lots of visitors!

Sharing some photos of our visitors from the past week and a half.

We had so much fun having Amy, Brett, and Claire in town from the day after Maggie was born through that weekend. Amy was a HUGE help and took great care of Aaron while we were at the hospital. It was great to have them here! The kids had a wonderful time playing together and this is them after a bath!

Uncle Tom came in town from New York the weekend right after Maggie was born. It was great to have him visit and meet his first niece!

The Strohbusch family (minus John) came to visit last weekend on Sunday before Tom headed back to New York. Here is Maria with Maggie.

Maggie with Beth, Will, Maria, and Tom.

Maggie and her great aunt, Beth!

Nanny and Papa came to visit us this past week. They arrived on Wednesday and left on Sunday afternoon. We had a great time with them and wish that they could have stayed even longer!!! Here they are, enjoying their new granddaughter!

More Maggie Lynn

Here are some shots from our time in the hospital. Tim and Amy each brought Aaron up to the hospital to visit his Mommy and baby sis for about an hour at time. He did great and loved kissing his new sister!


Big Brother Aaron and Little Sister Maggie




Getting ready to head home!

Uncle Tom came to visit for the weekend to meet Maggie.




Taking Maggie home!

Home sweet home. Amy, Brett, and Claire were there with Aaron waiting for us!



Brett and Claire were very excited to meet Maggie for the first time!

Amy loved spending time with Maggie and was so great to take care of Aaron while we were in the hospital!

Mommy and Maggie! Maggie got this amazing little outfit from her Aunt Amy- isn't she so cute?!

We are having a great time getting to know Maggie and will share more pictures soon. She is a wonderful little girl and we feel very blessed to have her as part of our family! :)
