Handy Daddy



One of Bel's favorite shows of the 3 she watches at home is Handy Manny on Playhouse Disney. Well Handy Manny has evolved in our house into Handy Daddy. We have gone from regular light fixtures in our bedroom and Bel's room to wonderful fans installed by the one and only Handy Daddy. DM did a wonderful job doing his biggest to date home improvement.

Easter




The Sacred Triduum is an experience like no other I could ever explain. The journey and meaning behind our faith is based on Christs' experiences before his death and Resurrection in which we as God's people have the opportunity to experience during Holy week. The Triduum started on Holy Thursday with the celebration of The Last Super and foot washing, on Good Friday we experience the Passion of our Lord and Saturday at Easter Vigil the celebration of the Resurrection of our Lord and the entrance of the newly converted into full communion with the Church. With all of this said this is an important time for DM and I to reflect together on our faith and what we have been blessed with. With Bel being so young we decided to take the opportunity to leave her with Grandpa David and Grandma Judy on all 3 nights and she had a blast. Before we brought her there on Saturday we had dinner with Grandma Sandie, Grandpa George, Uncle Doug and Auntie Stacey where she had a blast finding eggs with Grandpa, helping Grandma in the kitchen and playing with two of her most treasured playmates... Auntie and Uncle. Then she was off to a fun night with her cousins Ella and Lauren at Grandma Judy's and Grandpa Davids.
We rounded out our Easter weekend with looking for Bel's basket from the Easter Bunny at home and then headed down for a fun Easter Sunday hunting eggs, opening baskets, visiting with Great-Grandma and eating too many yummy things. Bel was in her element with her cousins, it truly was a wonderful weekend!

Some New Favorites


Bel LOVES her "Colors" as she calls them. Grandma J bought her her first coloring book and it hasn't lost the magic in a month, maybe we have a little artist!
She also loves to be a big girl and sit at the table on a chair (which she pushes back in after she is done sitting on it) this is a fun new adventure that her Texas friend Olivia taught her around Christmas time. She also loves her Minnie... in any size, color, in a book, on TV and in her colors.
