easter 08

hey peeps.

we had a wonderful easter this year and i thought i'd pass on some pics (in no particular order)

here's the gang over for lunch...

brandon, beki, and stella at church (of course we were late-but we made it!)

stella eating some chocolate out of her easter basket-and wearing her new shades....

stella-17 months

so, i was hoping that spring was on it's way but it's currently snowing outside :(

this is the time of year when i really get sick of this weather.  the weather has been the hardest thing for me to deal with here in chicago-land but i think it's finally getting a little easier for me.  we are about to celebrate 5 years of living here.....can you believe it?!?!  it really has gone by fast.  i wonder if we'll be here another 5?  in the beginning i would have said no but it is really starting to feel like home.  it's strange to think that this is the only home that stella has ever known and that she was born here.  i guess i consider her an okie but i guess she really isn't.  luckily, our okie clan is growing so if i'm lucky, she'll grow up with a little accent :)
