Elsa Loves Buddy

You guessed it...Buddy has returned once again. Inga and Elsa love looking for Buddy each day. Elsa has taken to giving him kisses. Yuck! We don't encourage it but she really loves him. Perhaps one day he'll turn into her prince?

Cookies & Dancing

Elsa was enjoying a cookie and a little dancing in the kitchen when I was able to catch her on video for a minute. She loves dancing...especially in her swimming suit!

Thomas' Baptism

Thomas was baptized on March 27th. He slept for 13 hours the night before so he was awake for the entire service! He was very happy to be there and did a great job cooperating with the pastor. Afterward we hosted a lunch at our house and the girls enjoyed having some extra friends to play with.

Thomas and Daddy

Butch Hataway, the Elder who presented Thomas to the congregation, Pastor Jim, and the Schoenbeck family. Elsa obviously didn't want her picture taken. Butch is a long-time family friend...I used to babysit his kids!

Another attempt at getting Elsa in the picture. She decided to hide.

Will she cooperate this time? Nope! Inga's getting bored.

Our celebratory cake.

The Kids

Inga and Elsa love reading stories together. Here they are after a bath enjoying and iPad story at the kitchen table.

Happy girls!
