Saturday, April 21

 This is the onesie Elli had made for Jenna's baby.

 We started the day with another soccer game.   Micah sure does love it.

 Caught these cuties playing in a box.  They sure love playing together.  Sometimes:)

 Second and final night of the play.

 She really did such a good job.

 Jenna made sure she saw Elli.  This was Elli's first time seeing her.  I love the tears.

 Still hugging and crying

 Aria came too. The kids did really well.

 Megan, Seth, and Rayna also enjoyed the show.

 Look at all these cuties!  Aria wanted her cousin Caden to come.

 Lana

 A group shot of sweet friends and ELli's beloved teacher from 4th and 5th grade, Mrs. Sukel.

 Much of the cast and all friends.

 Elli was in The Sound of Music with Molly and Kylie.

 Megan and Rayna.

 I thought this was a cute picture of these lovely ladies.

 The sweet girls are such good friends.

 Rayna loved being there with the big girls.

So did Lilly.
It was such a great night.

April 20, Opening Night of "The Crazy Mixed up Files"

 This is Elli's friend Abby Wonders

 Elli did such a good job.  She really seems to be comfortable on stage.

 She played the mom of King Arthur in one of the classics.

 So many faces:)

 She remembered all her lines and spoke loudly and clearly.

 I laughed and cried and loved it all.

 Hehehe

 She had a few funny lines that we had to explain to her.

 King Arthur was the son of Dave Ormsby whom we purchased our land from.

 She is in the scene with Kayla.

 Doing her spin.  She practiced this and called it "ad-lib,"

 Her scene crew.

 Clapping for everyone else.

 The whole gang.

 Micah, Gloria, and Francine.

 Molly, Elli, and Abby.

 Leah

 Heather

 Mom, dad, and grandma.

 Brent

 Small group leaders from church, Cairn and Stephanie

 Christina wasn't in the play but enjoyed hanging out with them.

 This gang of girls are great friends and super sweet with each other.

 Love my baby.

Jenna and Girls are Here, April 20!

 We met up with Jenna and the girls at Shawnee Park in Xenia for some outdoor play time.  Micah and Aria were very happy to see each other and seemed to pick up playing as if they had never had a break from each other.  I also absolutely love this picture.

 Sweet Coco.  She was happy to see me but started a little bit shy.

 Jenna, Eden, and Coco.

 Lance and Jenna got to see each other as well.  This reunion was not even supposed to happen.  Lance and Lana were not necessarily going to be able to get home when Jenna and Justin were supposed to be coming back.  but, Lance and Lana ended up leaving the mission field for various reasons and Jenna and Justin got to come home early for this fund raising trip.  Sweet times together.

Even Eden warmed up to me after a little while.

They put in a Driveway and Dug the House

 Quite exciting things are happening.

 Micah and I saw the dump trucks dumping loads of gravel. 

 It was cool to watch them work and make the driveway smooth.

 Micah and I got some lunch at Subway and took a sandwich to Elli since she would be at school until the opening of her middle school play.

 The footers are being poured.

 Micah again, loves to climb on the dirt.

 I kept thinking the house looked so small.  I am sure it will be the right size but right now it doesn't look like all the rooms we ave planned will fit!

He wanted to get on top of these big trucks so bad!  My handsome boy loving getting dirty.
