Our Recent House Guest

A couple of weeks ago we had a house guest from Wednesday to Monday. She was very sweet and lovable...the girls adored her! They had so much fun playing with her and were sad to see her go that Monday.

Meet our house guest...Finley, our friend's Saint Bernard.

Weighing in at just over 100 lbs., Finley resembled a small pony. She was the hit of the neighborhood! People stopped to ask if we had gotten a dog (of course with a surprised and confused look on their face). Although rather large, she was a "gentle giant." Both Mark and I agreed, she dwarfed any room she entered, making our house feel rather small at times. Nonetheless, we all enjoyed her stay.

The girls keep asking when we can get our dog. That we're not sure about at this point, however we are sure that a dog the size of Finley is a little too big for our lifestyle.

Easter Egg Hunt - Take 1

Our church had an Easter egg hunt Saturday morning for kids of all ages. The Eggstravaganza (as they call it) consisted of games, music, crafts, and an egg hunt. For the first time in years, our girls were in the same age group which allowed us to travel through the events as a family. Here are some highlights from the event.
