So last week I was home on Spring Break.
This week I am home with Camryn. Even
though she was vaccinated, she has con-
tracted the Chicken Pox. I know you don't
hear much about people getting this anymore,
and even the urgent care doctors had to
all come in and gauk at her spots because
they hadn't had a case in quite some time.
She is quite the talk of the town:) Before
we knew she had it though, we had her at
preschool, daycare, dance class and discovery.
Now the whole town will probably get
the spots and we will have to move away:)
Just kidding...She is doing quite well.
She started with about 10 - 15 spots on
Wednesday night and as of today she has
about 75 spots. She wanted everyone to
see her spots, but I told her that they could
not come and visit her or they would get the spots,
so I took some pictures for all to see:)
She is quite proud of them! Please say a
little prayer that these babies scab up
quickly because we are supposed to go out
of town next weekend.

HAPPY EASTER FROM WISCONSIN!

Nothing says it better than a snow
bunny:) I have no ideas who these
people are, but this was so cute that I
had to stop and take a picture. I hope I
didn't freak these poor kids out. Now do
you understand what I'm talking about
when I say that I'm sick of snow? This
was the day before Easter.


My girls on Easter Sunday...they
are getting so big.

We hosted our first ever pancake breakfast
following our Easter Sunrise Service which we
held at 6:30 AM. I think everyone got past being
tired and were running on pure adrenyline. We
had a lot of fun as well as many new visitors.



Mark is always so happy to serve:)

Much fun was to be had at our first
churchwide Easter egg hunt. The teen
discovery kids hid about 500 + eggs all
around the inside of our new building.
I think even the "big" kids had fun too.

So I'm on Spring Break this week and I decided to catch up my blog page. I thought for a moment that there were other things to take pictures of instead of snow, but that all changed today. Below you will see what I mean. Other than that, we are all doing fine. We have all put up with infuenza this winter, but we were already stuck in the house, so why not be sick too? Camryn is still a little stinker (but a funny one), Caitlyn is growing up way to fast (I can't even write about that or I will surely embarrass her), Sonny is once again coaching the spring girls soccer team. They had tryouts last week and have been having practice ever since (indoors or course being as there's still at least a foot of snow on the soccer fields.) They probably won't be able to play there first few games this year because of the snow, which really stinks. Have I mentioned that we are sick of the snow yet? It has been the longest winter ever and I really need to vent (or we need to go start another church somewhere in Jamaica:) I've been busy (as usual) with work, church, and college. Sonny and I were able to get away for about 24 hours and we went to Milwaukee to see a Steven Curtis Chapman concert. It was awesome and probably the best concert I have been to in a long time. A week later about 20 of us from the church went to Madison to see Casting Crowns, another great concert. Lately we've just been preparing for our Easter service this Sunday which is actually going to be our first sunrise service (6:30 AM). I'm not sure who decided on that time, but I just hope I make it:) We are also having a panckae breakfast following services. I will post Easter pictures next week. Better go for now, I really should be doing homework :( I hope everyone out there is doing well. We love and miss everyone so much (and we will take any offers to come and visit somewhere warm:)
Last Wednesday night we got home
from church really late (10:30), which
is very unusual for us, but Camryn was
still determined to stay up and see who
got kicked off of American Idol. As you
can see, she didn't make it, but was very
happy the next day when she found out
that "Rocker Chick" (Amanda) was finally
booted. I thought this picture was cute.
