So close to being a teen...

Hard to believe Jonathan is twelve!  Here are some pictures from his birthday party and his birthday celebration with us.  We also took him to the circus!

April Fools!

The boys had youth group shortly after April Fools Day, so we had a bit of fun tricking the kids in their group.  We started with "hamburgers"... really 'Nilla wafers with peppermint patties, green-dyed coconut, and red and yellow frosting for "ketchup" and "mustard".  They were a hit!!

Then there were cupcakes for "dessert".  These were muffin-sized meatloaf with green-dyed mashed potatoes.  Also a hit!  Nothing returned home with the boys.

Cherry Blossoms

One of the best things about living near DC is Cherry Blossom time.  Every April, the cherry trees along the Tidal Basin come into flower, and it's just gorgeous!  This year, we had both sets of grandparents come along.  What fun!

Happy Easter

Christ is died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again!  Amen!
