Showers of Blessing!

Gosh, it's been two weeks already since Pat, Jane, Sandy and I put on a baby shower for Jenna. We had a wonderful turnout at Jane's, and the food was MARVELOUS thanks to Pat. Sandy made the punch which really hit the spot,Jane made the bars and put out the fruit, and I contributed the diaper cake which nobody ate:)

Just looking at the table makes me hungry for that spinach salad of Pat's and the chicken salad leftovers were great at school last week.

Jenna is practicing already. Only about 3 weeks left now!


Here we are just before the guests arrived - we are ready!

I had to get a picture of Jane and I since neither of us got in any of the pictures from Easter.

Here are some of the gals looking at baby Jenna's scrapbook. I think it goes from birth to two years old, then skips right to prom. She was really a cutie.

Can you believe we ate outside on the deck on April 11? It was a beautiful day. You can read more about it on Jane's blog - check out the beautiful quilts Jane and Sandy made. That baby will never be cold - two quilts and a gorgeous soft green hand knit afghan from Pat. Those gals are sure crafty. I'll stick to making diaper cakes!

Easter Mania

What a gorgeous day we had to celebrate God's love for us on Easter Sunday! We had a wonderful morning with our Waterbrooke Fellowship family and then headed to Cannon
Falls to hang out with the Catlins, Brackens, and Helds. The weather cooperated beautifully, and we enjoyed the ride. Taking Jenna and Andy's dog Crosby for a walk was an adventure through the neighborhood and the nearby cemetery.

Soon we can add one more to this little family - aren't they cute? Just a month, and we'll see how jealous Crosby gets when there is a baby to compete for his time:)


Paul and Chuck spent hours on their wardrobes to get all dolled up for Easter.



Here's the "big boys" enjoying the feast at the "kid's" table.


Matthew and Maddox were the center of attention as the day progressed. Maddox was sure his squeezy light up ball was green until we showed him the proof on the digital camera. Modern technology saved us from a tantrum!


Now we all assemble for the traditional Easter egg hunt. Paul and Andy had grand stand seats.

Don't give them too many hints, Grandpa!

No, Jenna, you and Crosby CANNOT hunt for eggs. It's just for the little kids.


Matthew and Maddox were so cute about helping each other find the right eggs. Matthew's were polka dotted, and Maddox had plain ones.

"Here's one for you, Matthew!" "Thank you, Maddox."


The big rock was just as much fun as the hunt!

Then, Batman and Superhyena had to check out their loot. We missed the Illinois connection, Phebe down in Florida, and Angie at home sick. Jane and I WERE there, I just missed getting pictures of us. I'll make sure to get us at the big baby shower on Sunday. The next Casey event will be on Memorial Day , so stay tuned for future posts for all the family updates.

A blessed Easter to all!
