Palm Sunday

I got this a little out of order because I just found the Palm Sunday pictures.  The kids got to bring palm branches down the aisle in church and then sing for everyone.  Julia was very happy about the whole experience.

Easter 2014

We had a big day at Easter this year.  Of course we used the opportunity to try to take nice pictures of the girls.

They weren't too pleased at the idea at first.

 They slowly started to come around to it though . . .

Of course it helps if Dad can keep his eyes open while shooting the photos.

We had several families over for Easter dinner.  Its a tradition in Brazil to receive a large (these are small ones the girls are holding) chocolate egg at Easter.  Raquel received the molds from Brazil to make some eggs this year so she made some for all of the children who would be in attendance at dinner.  Grace is pictured with the girls here.

Caleb broke into his pretty quickly.

Our eater

Over time Emilia has turned into a good eater, as long as she's hungry.  Of course when she is hungry she gets in a hurry and makes a bit of a mess.

The fun of open spaces

Our friends Phillip and Stephanie had us and another couple over for dinner one Saturday in the spring.  They have a nice big back yard and Raquel thought ahead to bring some stuff for the girls since we were going early to play.  The girls enjoyed putting on their capes and racing back and forth across the yard so we could see the cape fly out behind them as they ran.

Girl height

Julia's almost a full head taller than Emilia in March.
