Gender Reveal Party

For those of you who didn't know, Dan and Shauna are expecting twins. Due September 23rd, we know that they are identical. Jean and Melissa threw a gender reveal party so we could learn the news together.Melissa called Suzy on Skype so she could join in the fun. It was 4:30 a.m. in Okinawa.

Shauna had another ultrasound yesterday and then called the bakery to let them know what color the frosting in the middle of the cake should be.Blue frosting or pink...what will it be?

We were supposed to wear blue if we thought they were boys and pink if they were girls. Pat and Jim were the only ones in pink. (actually, Jim was in red...apparently he doesn't own any pink:) Jean and Melissa wore purple to remain neutral. After consulting the Chinese birth chart, I went with blue.

THEY ARE BOYS!!!!!!!

Easter in Marietta

Benji, James, Elayna and Dallin.

Easter in Marietta

We went to Marietta this weekend to celebrate Easter, Allison's baptism and birthday.

Wendy and Austin had just complete painting their living room, what a job with these high ceilings.

Allison had a party at the local skating rink. She got a prize for the limbo.

Shauna and family came, too. She and Den are helping Benji skate.

Early Spring

I actually took these a couple of weeks ago. This is the earliest blooming ever, as we never really had a winter.

Love springtime in Ohio

The whole neighborhood looked beautiful.

Found this out in the barn. I thought Den was being funny and making the owl decoy into a bunny with this rubber glove. Turns out there are some robins in the barn trying to build a next. Since the owl was not deterring their efforts, he made this scary mask to scare them away. It did not work, either.
