SPRING!!!! (sort of)

Spring in Ohio has been slow in coming this year. We have learned that you can't always trust the groundhog and sometimes March can come in and go out like a lion! But we have had some nice days. One Sunday afternoon we got to enjoy some real spring on a friend's trampoline.

Evelyn loves trampolines!!!!

A couple of pictures from St. Patty's Day

Another blurry smile from Baby Kathryn.

Graduation!

At the end of March, Paul completed the task that brought us to OH. He graduated with a Master's degree from the Air Force Institute of Technology. The ceremony took place in the Air Force Museum right next to a giant B-52 bomber! The planes all around really made the ceremony quite impressive.

The Master walks :-)

Paul's family came up for the graduation and stayed for Kathryn's Baptism.

Baptism

Kathryn was baptized at the end of March by our assistant pastor and dear friend, Ken Montgomery. I think I would describe Baptism as hopeful, but sobering. We are praying that Kathryn will indeed "improve her baptism" as she grows up hearing the Good News of Christ.

Evelyn was really curious about this whole process and Mr. Ken putting water on Kathryn's head.

Kathryn was very patient as we quickly changed her into her baptismal gown.

Lots of lace for such a little girl

The Pearsons with the Meyers

Kathryn is pretty much done with all of the fuss.

During the weekend visit Evelyn got to enjoy a lot of fun with her Uncles and Aunt.

It was great to have Uncle Thomas around before his big move to Cambodia!

Happy Birthday to Me!!!!!

My best friend Angela surprised me with a birthday visit. This is especially impressive considering she had a 20 month old and a 14 week old in tow! The only pictures we have from the wonderful weekend is this one of a sad little Pierce and of course the requisite birthday hats!

It was so wonderful to share this time with Angela and her boys. Thank you for coming Angela and thanks to my dear husband and friends here in OH who also helped me celebrate.

So Pretty!

Kathryn was so responsive from the beginning, but it was hard to catch her smiles on camera so we could have proof.

A bit blurry, but a smile none the less.

Happy Girl!
