Miscellaneous April Photos

First we have some from Janna's swimming lessons. She's doing SO well. For some reason, the ability to swim is one of the things I am proudest of. Probably because my own parents put a pretty high significance on it. At any rate, Janna can swim on her front and back, and roll over to one or the other on her own! She's also floating (a big thing for her, it took a long time to convince her that was ok). The problem we're having now is getting her to do more than one thing at a time. She can kick, stroke, and take a breath - but not in succession.

This is actually at Janna's other class - Sports and Games.

Her with her little legs crossed and hands out is just almost more than I can take. Far too cute for her own good.



Planting our garden. These were some cute little cups I picked up at Lowes. I had LOW expectations for them - which is good, because only about half sprouted. However, we still have pumpkins, sunflowers, and watermelon going out in back!
Just a few to show what I've been doing with the camera. This is from a belly dance showcase that my friend, Liz, performed at.




After the show, Liz's troupe goes out into the audience.
After the performance - we are at Washington Oaks garden. SUCH a beautiful place!






Did a photo shoot with Jeff in preparation for the Easter photos.


Orange blossoms. I LOVE orange blossoms. This will be one of the things I miss about Florida. Must find myself a very convincing candle.
Tomatoes at my school's garden.

Easter 2009

Late coming, I know. This time of the year is always a crunch. I am wrapping up with my semester, Jeff is wrapping up his, and this year we have the added part of Jeff being back in school. As part of of efforts to prepare us for the big move (either the summer of 2010 or 2011), Jeff has started his project management degree. He's also looking at getting his LEED certification, so we're looking at him doing some sort of project management in a green field.


At any rate, since I have have some time this weekend - I thought I would catch up the blog.


The first batch of pictures are the kids' spring portraits. Jeff encouraged me to take my own this year. Words cannot explain exactly how quintessential Janna this picture really is.













These are a few shots from the Easter Eggstravaganza we have at the church every year.
JR holding Daddy's hand.
Listening to story time.
JR didn't want to sit with the rest of the kids.
Janna coloring. She actually won the contest for 4 year olds.
Making a craft.
Activities.

Easter morning, all dressed up and ready to go to church!

Our church's sanctuary.
After church - coloring eggs.

Decisions, decisions...


My favorite part is that he's in his "underoonies."




Showing off the goods.



Hunting the plastic variety (Hard boiled eggs are like gold around here. We're not wasting them in the hot Florida sun!)

The kids had a GREAT Day, as did we. Can't wait for next year!
