Easter

Wearing the cute skirt Grandma VanDenBerghe made, and the cardigan from Nannie Mary. Surprisingly, she left the headband on for almost 10 minutes!

Poppy didn't really understand the Easter egg hunt, but enjoyed holding the same egg the whole time and watching her cousins running around.

Enjoying the knick-knacks in her Easter basket Sunday morning.

Easter was fun and relaxing this year, since we didn't do much except stay home and enjoy General Conference. On Saturday, Grandma VanDenBerghe hosted an Easter egg hunt for Poppy and cousins, which was lots of fun. Poppy didn't really understand, but liked the eggs she got, and especially liked playing with the cousins. And thankfully, she's not old enough to notice that Paul and I ate all of the candy grandma put in her basket. But hey, may as well enjoy it while it lasts, because once she tastes chocolate, it's all downhill from there!

Right now we have a family from Luxembourg that Paul taught on the mission staying with us for the week. It's fun reminiscing about the mission, all the while brushing up on our rusty French. Paul is especially happy to have them here and show them around Salt Lake and Church headquarters. Pictures to come!

Mischief

Poppy watches cousin Gabi drinking a bottle. The little cousins weren't allowed in the hospital room.

Playing footsies with stylish Miss Pops. Wouldn't we all look great wearing a onesie tucked into tights, with elasticated shoes?

Good thing there wasn't much left on the roll!

Always trying to stick things on her head.

She usually plays with the little door, but finally discovered that she could crawl inside. Georgie wasn't too impressed.

Climbing, pulling, standing, grabbing, rolling, pushing, slapping, banging, pinching......this little monkey is hard to keep up with!!!

Gabriela Tracy Flores

We are proud to announce (if not slightly late) the arrival of our new niece, Gabi, born on March 24th. Tracy was induced the night before, and seeing as she was a few weeks early, Gabi is teeny tiny at 5 lbs 6 oz -- definitely not the little chunk Poppy was! Mom and baby are healthy & happy.
