Ava's first impression of Young's Jersey Dairy!!!!

We took Ava to experience Young's Jersey Dairy Farm for the first time! She loved feeding the baby goats (although she wasn't too sure about the big, pushy goats)! She enjoyed seeing the other animals there. She loved "driving" the big farm tractors they have. I think she liked the feeling of the control.....steering the wheel, shifting the gear, etc.!!!!! Of course, the ice cream is a yummy part of the trip there, too!

I added a couple pictures from Easter. Ava had her first experience meeting the Easter Bunny, and loved him, too.....go figure!!!! She didn't take long to figure out how to hunt for eggs Easter morning. Although she is still far from understanding the true Easter Story, she DID have a really good experience at church Sunday. First time she walked right into her class all smiles and had a good morning there, all morning! Yeah!!!!

For those of you who have asked about Daniel, he is doing much better. For those of you wondering, he has been plagued with all sorts of illnesses for about 2 months. He has had everything from a viral infection, an ear infection, a cold, the stomach flu, etc. Because his body has been so out of whack, his system has been really messed up. We think we have finally pinpointed what he needs to continue to improve. Thanks for all of you who have been praying for him to feel better!

We continue to progress as a family of six! We have our days, don't get me wrong, but we feel like we really are starting to gel. Some days I wonder how Olivia Walton managed with all those kids! Maybe it was just a tv fantasy, or maybe it was because her in-laws lived with them and did half the work!!!:) Other days, we know that we are so blessed to have four children with which to make such memories!

I will try to update this a little more regularly. Some of you really don't like these long lapses! :) Thanks for all your prayers and support!
