Friday, April 2nd--Ellery wanted to join in on the egg coloring, but she basically just had to watch. Elan just did his first eggs at age three! She did admire them, though.







Silly noses--when Anthony came back from an arborist convention at the end of March, he brought some surprises he got from the trade show. The one that was fun for us all was the red nose. Ellery wouldn't hardly keep hers on, but we tried to snap a picture really quick.

The rocking children--Elan has always loved to rock, and it used to be on the horse but he moved to the recliner. Ellery spent the most time on the horse last week that she ever has so I got a video of it along with some pics. I like the last video where they are both rocking.










A variety of looks from "Don't you dare take away my phone" to a sweet, little cuddly girly face. This girl can have all sorts of personalities!

glimpse of spring--the weekend weather was about 60, and the kids enjoyed playing outside. Ellery has figured out her brother's old motorcycle, and she loves it. They are also enjoying playing together a little more often.

SNOW! Ellery didn't play in the snow much. She doesn't seem to know what to do with stuff that is so cold, and she whined too much. But since this is a record-breaker for Georgia, we took lots of pictures anyway. She has to wear Elan's old clothes because I never bought her winter gear. Figures that we would actually need it this year. If I buy us a sled next year, it is bound to not snow for 10 years. Here are some pictures of house in the winter wonderland.








pretty tall snowman!










so sweet--holding hands







that scowl is a "take me inside" look

Ellery's time in the box. Since Elan climbed in this box, Ellery had to try too. She made a couple decent photo faces, but my favorite was when she wanted to climb in the rocking chair and she lowered that head and made those big blue eyes really open wide! She is giving me toddler fits most days these days as she thinks she needs to be held and cuddled way more than I can manage, but she can sure bat those eyes at us!
