Helping Grandma

This year we were able to visit with the Jaegers for Easter. Norah had lots of fun helping Grandma Joyce (or Joyce, that's what Norah calls here) get ready for everyone to come over.



First she helped Grandma Joyce decorate her Easter tree.







Then she helped make a desert. Grandma told Norah she could try a little of the brown sugar, thinking she would use her fingers and get a little pinch. Well, Norah had a better idea to get a little more than a pinch.

Norah also got to discover how eggs feel once their cracked open. Norah went back for a second feel, at Grandma's who cares if you have to reach into the garbage to do it.

Minnesota Zoo

This past Wednesday Seth had off of school so we went to visit some friends in the Twin Cities. To make the trip extra fun we spent the afternoon at the Minnesota Zoo. Norah had lots of fun watching all the animals. Especially when the grizzly bears were "hugging." It was a great trip and we can't wait to go to another zoo soon.

Norah got to have a special treat with mom and dad at the zoo. She got to try cotton candy for the first time. She loved it.

These are the bears that Norah loved to watch "hug." Seth and I also got a kick out of it.

New Slide

We are very thankful to inherit a little climbing yard toy. Norah loves climbing up and going down the slide again and again. She did get a little freaked out when little bugs very landing on the slide though. I think she'll have lots of fun this summer outside in the yard.

Happy Day

Not much is new here. We've just been playing around the house and outside when it's nice. We just needed to put up some new pictures. Norah and I had fun taking these ones.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Norah's ready to celebrate today!

Tea Time

We have been catching Norah singing little songs more and more lately. I've been trying to get them on tape for everyone but I haven't been very successful, until today that is.

Oh Boy.....

We are having a baby boy!!! We are very excited. Mom and baby are doing well.

Norah has been very good lately. She is talking more and more and showing more personality (which isn't always a good thing but it keeps us on our toes). She is having fun playing at home and learning new things all the time. Bath time has also been a lot more fun lately since daddy got us some bubble bath. She just loves the bubbles.

Yesterday we got to go with the school on a field trip to the bank. They just finished a penny drive to raise money for their school playground. We got to watch how the change machine counts the money and even got to see an old $500 bill. With the church and school children combined they raised over $1300! The kids were all very excited. Norah had a lot of fun especially because she got to ride in the wagon with all the money.
