Happy Easter!

After church we thought it might be nice to try to get some pics of us with Brynne in her dress. Disclaimer: It was pretty windy and relatively bright in the back yard at noon, hence why Rog and I may not look outstanding. Isn't the tree pretty?

Totally cracking up at her dad as she tried her dress on earlier in the week.


Mad tummy time skills on display this Easter. A multi-tasker, reading during her workout.

WARNING - LOTS OF PICS


We're not fooling, there was actually a portion of a week/weekend that both Rog and I were free to take Brynne on a trip north to see Grandpa and some of the ISU girls. Just so happened our departure date was April Fool's Day.

After dropping Dream off at Heidi's new house in Chatham, we stopped in Normal to visit Amber, see the new ISU Alumni Center and grab a bottle. Great to see Amber and meet a few of her co-workers, but the camera got left in the car!
Next stop was Arlington Heights to vist Grandpa (Bucky). Brynne thought he was great until he held her, than the hysterics began. We did manage to get a few decent pictures, but the majority of the time she was in his arms, she was crying.

Our next two nights were with Kristy, Graham and Payton. We met up with the future Redbirds at McD's, and tried to get a few pictures amidst the total chaos at playland on a crappy day during spring break. We got everyone but Mia, who was busy dominating the playground.
It was great seeing the ISU girls again - I'll get an e-mail out soon with some dates for summer and fall to take advantage of some of the drink specials.

On our way home, we stopped off at mom and Larry's to pick up D, then stopped off at Brian and Lindsay's to see them and Mason before having dinner with Rog's parents on his mom's birthday.

I never realized how many little boys Brynne "knows" already!

Had to add this one, looks like they both REALLY want to be there!
