What a busy and full month of more wonderful things as always! We got our first family dog!! We surprised the kids for Easter this year with their own little puppy, and there is no describing the excitement around here! :) They are just loving this new member of our family. She is a Husky/Australian Shepherd mix, and she most definitely just pretties up our backyard every time we look out the window now! :) She's such a cutie! And so far seems like a really good little dog! We named her Arianna, but we all call her Ari for short - (we kept her name in line with the girls' French names)... :) Anyway, that has definitely been an exciting event for our family this month!!
We had a fun little Easter as always! Of course Ari was the main event of that weekend, but the kids definitely enjoyed painting eggs and having egg hunts and getting their Easter treats on Easter morning. (They were very excited that Ari got some treats of her own in a basket we set out for her as well!) :) Here's some pictures from Easter weekend - painting eggs & then Easter morning...
And then just a few other fun pictures from the month. Brielle and Colette had their big gymnastics show at the beginning of the month. They were so excited about that - especially Colette, who loves to get all dressed up and "pretty"! The show was at EAC's big auditorium - making it very fun and exciting for them to be apart of! There is also a picture of one of Timothy's favorite past-times these days - and of course my most dreaded - he just loves to take apart my kitchen cupboards and pretend like he is cooking with me... Guess he's just in that stage right now... And the boys at the end - I never realized that it would be Samuel that would love a family dog the most, but he is just head over heels in love with that dog!! She is how he has spent the majority of his days since we got her, and we just think it is so cute getting to see a boy and his dog outside our window all the time! :) Timothy too - he has now started saying "Awie" (for Ari) whenever he wants to go outside. They all just love her! Cute kids.
Me and my girls! - How I love them! :)
