My nephew and sister-in-law came to town today to tour UT. Drew is a junior in high school and is starting to make plans for college. After their tour of the campus, they met us for lunch.

Rob and I decided that we want to get the boys a picture bible for Easter. I remember seeing this one somewhere. Was it at our church's bookstore? Was it at someone's house? What do you read/did you read to your small children? I'd love some input!

My friend, Jenn, who lives in Pittsburgh, was in town last weekend for Brian and Zerita's wedding. She has a fun post on her blog showing all the similaries that we have. We think we are twins separated at birth.

We babysat our friend, Ada, last night while her parents went to dinner. I tried to get a picture of all three kids, but only Jonathan would cooperate! Oh well! Is there anything cuter than three cuties in footie pjs?

The last few days have been difficult ones for Henry and Jonathan - lots of fussing, crying, and complaining! The days have been difficult for their mommy, too. Now we know why! Rob discovered that Henry has the first of his 2 year molars coming in. So does Jonathan! More evidence in the identical twins column.

Last spring a few of moms with toddlers and pre-schoolers got together at the park for a play date. This week we were able to take our scheduled play date to the church auditorium/gym because it was too cold to play outside. We had 12 moms and 25 children come, and everyone had a blast running around in such a huge room! It's nice to have access to our new building!

We were waiting to greet Zerita when she arrived. Little did we know that she had come in a different door and was already hard at work.





Zerita's Knoxville "parents," Roger and Marcia, brought her to the church.





It's time for the bride to get ready!

Brian and Zerita's wedding went off without a hitch! Well, ok, there were a few hitches. She got mud and grass stain on her dress before the wedding, and we used a Tide to Go pen to get it off. It was incredible how well the pen worked. It was like an eraser! Invest in one today! Also, one of the groomsmen had a stomach virus. After all the dust settles, and I can get my house back in order and my laundry caught up I'll get some more pictures of the rehearsal and wedding on my blog. Thanks for being patient.

Anyone in town want some strawberry wedding cake? I am serious! We have ALL of it at our house. We've been calling people who live near by to come and take some! Here's how much we brought home:
