Congratulations Mike and Chanda Johannes!!

It was a beautiful day for a wedding on Saturday April 25. Auntie Chanda and uncle Mike were united in marriage at the Catholic Church in Pine City. Here is Chanda getting ready. Isn't she lovely? Here's Mandy, one of the six bridesmaids, after they all had their hair done.

Dylan, the flower girl, and Brody the ring bearer.

Mommy and daddy were both in the wedding. Don't they look nice?

Tired out!

Angel

Natalie put this on for the first time so we snapped some photos. The jacket says "Angel". This outfit was a gift for her birthday. So cute!!

Kittens

Natalie got to visit the kittens at grandma Patti's house. She really had fun holding them and didn't want to see them go back to their momma. I fear that she is going to want to bring a little brother or sister home for me. I'm still not sure how I feel about that. Just her size! So adorable! This is mommy's favorite one of the litter.

Awww...a little girl and her kitten. She's so gentle. It's probably because she learned to pet me gently at home.

Happy Easter Everyone!

Natalie found her Easter basket right away. The Easter bunny wasn't too tricky. She spent a lot of time taking all the things out and putting them back in.

All the kids after the egg hunt at auntie Em and uncle Sam's. Allison, Thomas, Adam, Linnea, and Natalie.

Me with all the loot. What a fun day!

Easter Eggs

Tonight we colored Easter eggs at Emilie and Sam's. Natalie wanted to touch the dye, but settled for putting stickers on. They turned out pretty good. It seems like everyone enjoyed using the teal color more than the others.

Natalie wore her bunny shirt but it didn't show up so well in this picture.

Hello Spring!

We took some spring/18 month pictures of Natalie at the Como Conservatory. Auntie Dorothy put together these collages for us. She is starting her own business online. Check out her site: http://www.wix.com/studioninecustomcards/cards

Bake Me a Cake

Natalie was intent on baking. Here she is in her apron. Getting out the mixing bowl.

Baking is fun!
