The Hand-Me-Down Bed

Jenna has been patiently waiting for our new bed to arrive. We ordered it from an Amish Company and it was "supposed" to arrive in mid-June. Well...apparently the Amish have been hit by the down economy and had plenty of time to build our bed and nightstands because they were delivered yesterday. We are all tickled with our new bedrooms. I hope to order a dresser soon but am still recovering from this round.

Jen was tickled to get rid of the twin size bed and move up to the Queen!

Blake and I are absolutely thrilled with our purchase. The quality is phenominal...and made with no electricity. We are anxious to get some more pieces.

Easter Weekend!!

Easter weekend was full of family and food. We started the preparations Thursday afternoon and didn't stop until Sunday night. We had a memorial service in town for an aunt and uncle so were fortunate to spend time with a lot of our dear family.

The girls dyed eggs on Thursday night since we knew that Friday and Saturday were going to be busy with other family activities. It is so fun to watch them focus on their work.

Ta-da...some of the finished product!

Every year the girls get a picture taken in front of this tree on Easter Sunday!

Jen in her cool "bunny" glasses! I think Largent has his eye on an egg. ;)

Every year my uncle is picked on by the Easter bunny. His egg can't be colored and hidden like everyone elses. It has been hung high in trees(with leaves glued on), had dog food glued all over it and placed in the dog dish, etc. This year it was covered in dryer lint (I know...gross) and set under the dryer vent outside.
