Petting Zoo and Stuff

Life is crazy busy right now, so we're sorry Tessa that we can't blog as much as you'd like. We'll try to do our best when we can.

These are some pictures of Andrew at the petting zoo. He loves animals and we thought this would be so much fun for him! He was so excited as we were going in:

But then he wouldn't get close to any of the animals once we were inside. Some of them were kind of scary looking. We got him semi-close to this camel you see in the background, but he was really scared of it.

It took him all of 3 minutes to figure out that the floor was made of dirt and apparently this is a lot more interesting to a 3 year old than cool animals:

After about 5 minutes of him playing in the dirt we left.

Everything is going really well...we are busy all of the time it seems. The youth are over at our house a lot and Andrew LOVES it!! He thinks they're here just to play with him. Here are a few pictures:

They've nicknamed him catfish and pretty much spoil him rotten.

So that's life right now. We're getting ready to celebrate Andrew's 3rd birthday in a couple of weeks, so look for that blog soon.

Easter

We had a really great Easter this year!! Jay and I watched The Passion of the Christ on Saturday. That movie really brings home the visual part of Christ's suffering. Then Sunday we celebrated that He overcame that suffering and death and rose from the grave...amazing!! We didn't have church that evening so we just spent some quality family time together relaxing...it was wonderful! Here are some pictures of us and Andrew...I tried to get him to just stand there for one so you could see how cute he was all dressed up, but he refused. I guess that's a two (almost 3) year old for you. Hope all of your Easters were as great as ours!
