Peek a boo!

These pictures don't even need words!

Big Brother and Little Sister

While Josh was away on his two band trips, Maryn's only playmate was Caleb and the two really had some fun together. It is so wonderful to see how Maryn has bonded with us and the love between these two is evident, even in these pictures. These are moments that I'll treasure for life!

A Girl and Her Stuff

Maryn definitely takes after her mom when it comes to "needing" her stuff. This day she went to great lengths to get all her stuff into her arms...quite a lot...a box of raisins, her juice cup and her baby doll. It was comical to watch, but the joy in her face when she succeeded was priceless!

Oh the Messes We Make

What starts out as a small project sometimes becomes a bit bigger with the help of a toddler! I was cleaning out the pantry...what you see in the picture is the "bit bigger" part. Maryn also found this piece to a dinner plate, that we're not using, but makes a great crown! She has had more fun with this little piece of plastic. Sometimes "non-toys" are better than the real toys!

Easter

We spent Easter with family. Grandma and Grandpa came down from Delaware. After church we went down to Lake Anna to Mommom and Pops' house. The house was full with aunts, uncles and cousins - lots of cousins for our Easter egg hunt. Maryn got to sit at the "big girls" table. She actually did the best job sitting at the table. She had fun running around for Easter eggs, but was more interested in what we in the egg!

Moving at the Speed of Sound!

Life seems to moving at the speed of sound around our home. Josh is finishing up his drum line season. The third marking period just ended for the boys and Maryn is just doing what 18 month little girls are supposed to do. She continues to bring lots of sunshine to this house. I've been very slow in updating this blog and am going to try to get some posts as well as some recent pictures.

South County Drumline Wins

Last night we (Caleb and I) got to see Josh perform as part of the Drumline. They didn't play until around 9:30pm, so Sherry and Maryn stayed home. This was the first competition we've been able to see. As you'll see (if you click on the link below), the show is rather complicated. They practice six hours a week and are making constant improvements. Their season will end next month when they travel to Dayton, OH for the WGI World Championships.

The show is called Palindrome because it is the same forward and backwards. You know ... solos, wow, taco cat, sit on a potato pan Otis. Just to name a few. Right in the middle, Josh has a solo; one note. :) Look for the whole drumline to pop up on their toes as he hits it.

Here's the link. Enjoy.
