our life is full of JOY!

We have been so blessed! I never knew that my life could be filled with so much joy until I became a mother! On this mother's day I'm going to take some time to brag about my adorable daughter and loving family =)

Most recently my mom and stepdad came out to visit for easter. We had soooo much fun. Alahna was throughly spoiled by Grammy and Papa and loved every minute of it. We got a bunch of stuff together for the baby that we are all so anxiously awaiting. Little boy clothes have become so much fun =) Alahna got a new rain coat and wanted to wear it everywhere. It was super cute! Here are a few pics of their trip:










We had fun dying easter eggs with Noah and the babies even got into the Easter spirit...HAHA.





I'm so thankful that Easter isn't only about candy and eggs, we know the true reason to celebrate is Jesus' ressurection!! The most exciting day in the Christian year. We think it is important for Alahna to know this so we told her the easter basket was from Jesus and told her to say thank you Jesus for my presents. Pretty darn cute and much better than a silly rabbit =)

Eric's birthday had two big events rolled in one day, of course his birthday AND Alahna got her cast off!!! She was such a trooper the last 3 weeks. I think she almost liked having it for all the attention she got wherever we went. She would proudly say "look at my cast" and "I broke my leg but it's getting fixed". Eric said she actually cried and said she didn't want it off when they were at the doctor, but then when it was off she was really excited to put on TWO socks and TWO shoes. Here are some pics and a REALLY cute video of her singing happy birthday to her daddy! (darn the video wouldn't work, but I'm going to keep trying and hopefully you will get to see it soon!)






We also started swimming lessons (aka aquatic rehab =) Alahna is such a little fish. I actually got in with everyone so I only have one pic of playing before class. This rec center is AWESOME!! More to come on our little fish.




How can you not feel blessed when you have an amazing family like this!!! More amazement to come in less than two months with BBH (baby boy Higginson's) arrival!!
