Sammie takes a fall

There are certain images I wish I did not have to see like some of the spills that my children have taken. On Thursday, after a great swim lesson for Tommy and Sammie at the YMCA, Sammie slipped and fell. She was wrapped up in her towel so her arms were unable to break the fall and she landed chin first. She stood up and tears barely fell however her chin was split wide open. I swooped her up, worked with the lifeguard and a YMCA member to get 3 kids dressed and into the car. The Y member then volunteered to drive in front of us so we could find the Immediate Care Clinic. God really blessed us by protecting Sammie, keeping us all calm, minimal blood and the help of a stranger. Sammie did great, and we had a wonderful women, Ms. Cindy from the Y sit with Tommy and Allie while the Dr. glued Sammie's chin together. I love reflecting back to see how God was with with us the whole time, praise HIM!

Zoo

Today we spent a wonderful day at the zoo. The Indy zoo is smaller than the Mke zoo however it has some really nice exhibits and offerings. Today Tommy and Sammie got to feed giraffes, pet sharks, watch penguins swim under them, and have a 3,000 lb walrus go face to face with them under water through the glass. Of course Sammie has talked the most about the elephant going to the bathroom right in front of us, strange how that was the most memorable moment for her. We went to the zoo with Grandma and Gordy and had a great day. Tommy feeding the Giraffe

This was the end of our zoo map, Allie loves paper and it provides great entertainment until she begins to eat it.

Since Easter Sammie has been obsessed with wearing a necklace, notice her blue pearl drop necklace, so glam.

Everyone watching the Elephants, Tommy, Gordy, Grandma, Sammie and Tom

Easter Egg Hunt

Here in our new neighborhood five families got together and we had an easter egg hunt. The kids had a blast, here are a few photos from the fun.

Easter Outfits

Well the girls were dressed in the matching dresses for church and I just loved how they looked in them. Sammie wanted a necklace for her outfit and we found just the one to match her dress. Sammie was so proud of her necklace. We talked a lot about Jesus being alive today and it was great to hear Tommy and Sammie talk about it after Sunday school too. Thank God, Jesus is Alive! Happy Easter

Easter Eggs

We all had fun coloring eggs on Saturday. Sammie just wanted pink eggs and Tommy wanted every other color but pink. The egg kit we had actually had a brown die for the eggs, I did not provide that as an option for them, who wants to eat an egg died brown?
