Easter Weekend 2015

This past Easter weekend was busy but fun-filled, especially for the kids.

The weekend really seemed to start on Thursday and Friday because my niece came over and helped me with the kids! As a 'thank you' for her help I took her to see 'Insurgent' at the theater on Friday evening.

Then we traveled to my mom's on Saturday and spent the evening and Sunday morning at her house with my brothers and their kids. 

On Sunday afternoon we visited Matt's grandmother at her apartment and then headed to my in-laws house for dinner.

I will let the photos do the talking!

Easter morning.



In search of their baskets. Liam found his under a piano bench.


Chloe checking out her basket.


My cute little bunny.




Afternoon Easter egg hunt in my mom's yard.







...and it's in the mouth.

Visiting Matt's grandma. Chloe loved pushing grandma's walker around!

And another egg hunt at Matt's parent's house.

I hope you all had a peaceful weekend.

Love,

'Tis the season

A few things that have made me smile lately...


Thanksgiving dinner at my mom's house.
Liam and his cousin Rylan.


Yes, this is three kids playing on three iPads.
The kids looovvveeee grandma's house :)


A sweet little message my niece Caroline wrote on the
chalkboard in my mom's kitchen.


Liam's first snowman of 2014.




Chloe has turned out to be a GREAT little gift wrapping helper.
Shaking the ribbon all over. Picking out gift tags for me.


My nephew's Christmas band concert at Blue Harbor.


Liam painting. I know, he does it all of the time. But it still makes me
smile, seeing him experiment with the colors & brushes. My little artist.


This sign I found at Hob Lob. I had to get it for the kitchen.


The tree is decorated, thanks to another great helper in the family named Liam.


The crazy dining room, filled with exciting Christmas To-Do things.
Wrapping gifts and making ornaments and decorating. Fun chaos.


Our cat Marlee being "fine" with Chloe chasing her around, tugging on her tail,
pulling her fur. What a good cat she is.


Testing out the (vintage) mixer we got from Matt's grandma :)
It's first hoorah -- Christmas cookie dough.

A beginning


We had Chloe baptized last Sunday.

She was baptized by Pastor Jim at First Congregational Church in Sheboygan.

We asked my brother Jason and Matt's sister Becky to be her godparents. They were there, along with other family members and friends, to welcome Chloe into the Christian community.

As parents it is our hope that faith was created in Chloe's heart through her baptism and that she becomes a loving, compassionate, honest, generous and lovable human being. May this be the beginning of a faithful life for our little Chloe :)

Here are a few photos from the baptism and the gathering + lunch we had at our home afterwards:



I loooovvveeee these little feet!

Our sweet little girl.

 Chloe and her Great-Grandma Beiniek (my mom's mom)


Liam was intrigued by the whole thing.



With her Cousin Beth.

What's a party without some yummy cake?

Snuggled up to her Great-Aunt Tracy

Hanging out with cousins Jenna and Danny.


With her Godfather, Jason.

With her Godmother, Becky.

Grandma Judnic: happy!
Chloe: tired 

Some paper flowers that I made and hung from our kitchen ceiling.
Super easy to make - Tissue Paper Pom Poms

A cozy spot to sit on our deck.

Fun fact: the white gown that Chloe is wearing in these photos was worn by Matt at his baptism, as well as by his dad and grandpa. It's quite the antique and beautifully made.
