The Last Several Weeks

We have had several busy weeks since Easter. Between Josie and I, I'm not sure which one of us has been sicker. We thought Josie had pink eye so we did the whole drops routine but after a week her eyes are still slightly weeping and she now has a full blown cold. Then a week after her eyes started weeping mine started in too. Needless to say the girls at work were having fun calling me "Pinky". I don't know if they were trying to insult me or not. :)

Josie got a wonderful playset for the yard from both sets of grandparents. She definetely has room to grow into this. Here's a few pictures of her and the swingset.

We also had a wonderful evening with the Garvalia bunch. Tony really enjoyed holding Josie.

Josie has also become a real pro at the army crawl. She has found that she can get into places that she's never been before. She found that she doesn't have to be in her bouncer to have fun with it. Being underneath can be just as fun.

Her hair has also become long enough to put it into pig tails. I love it!!! It really has helped to keep the hair out of her eyes, especially the way they have been weeping lately.

Josie's cousin Alyssa also gave her a little scooter. Here's Josie trying out the scooter.

Overall, we have had a very busy few weeks. Hopefully everything slows down a bit.

Let's not forget to wish Grandma LeJeune a Happy Birthday!

Easter

Well Easter was a great day this year. We had a wonderful time with Josie and the rest of the family. We were able to spend time with all three family groups. We started the day with Josie getting her Easter basket from mommy and daddy. She got a mirror for the backseat of the truck(yes it was more for mommy than for Josie, but she didn't need any more toys).

Now a picture of Josie, butch and her Easter basket.

Then we went to Great Grandma and Grandpa Graff's were she had presents from several people. She had presents from Great Grandma and Grandpa Graff, Grandma and Grandpa LeJeune and Aunt Kim and Uncle BJ. She had lots of fun opening these gifts and then playing with them.

She also got to sit and swing in the kitchen of Great Grandma and Grandpa's house.

If only she knew that this would only be a tast of the swinging that she would get to do at cousin Jason and Tracy's, on the LeJeune side.

She also enjoyed a small swing with Jason and Tracy's girls, Cadie and Alyssa.

Then she finished this party off with the first of two Easter egg hunts. This one she got to hunt with her Fairy Godfather, Uncle John.

Next we were back to the farm to celebrate with the Hanson's where she got to visit with her cousin's Griffin and Finley. Here's a picture of Josie and Finly, Josie saw Finley on the floor and rolled across the room to get closer to her.

Here a picture with Charlie, Casey and Ryan's dog, and her last Easter egg hunt.
Overall, this Easter was great! We hope everyone else had a good Easter.

Garden

Well, I can finally say that we have started a garden. Today we spend the majority of the day outside working up our garden. With the help of Luke, Luke's Uncle Carl and my dad, we have a garden area tilled up and for the most part raked. We also planted a lot of potatoes. I think we may have planted too much but we will know for next year. Here is a picture of Luke tilling up the garden.We also hauled some manure from the barn down and tilled that into the garden. So far we have just planted potatoes. Only 1 day late for those that believe that one should plant potatoes on Good Friday. Now let's hope they turn out.

Here are several pictures of Josie enjoying the grass for the first time.

We can't wait to get the rest of the garden planted. By then Josie will be crawling all over the place. She'll probably try and be really helpful by crawling into the garden too. We'll all be having fun the!
