March Madness is in full swing...Duke Blue Devils are in The Final Four. Daddy is very excited. Both girls are decorated in their Duke Blue...no brainwashing here!!

Ava showing her Blue Devil pride.

Emma is cheering on the Cameron Crazies...She is decked out in her Duke shirt.

Emma...Ava...Aunt T...and I enjoyed a fun day at the Shoppes while playing games...visiting with the Easter Bunny and playing on the CAT equipment. Emma loves to play on the tractors.
Ava's first visit with the Easter Bunny. :)
Emma enjoyed having her face painted...she had fun choosing a pink heart.
Ava has found her tongue...she is quite proud of herself...it is pretty cute. ha :)
Even more proud moments...Ava is completely exercising all muscles as she is on the move crawling fast following after her sister and especially pulling up on everything. It is very exciting as she isn't even ten months yet and already just about walking. It won't be long. So...as you can see Ava is pulling up in her bed...daily she thinks that when it is nap time and bed time she should be pulling up standing. I guess she isn't too young to teach her how to sleep standing up. LOL
We have really enjoyed the warm sunshine and being able to open a few windows during the day. Ava pulled up to the window in the door for the first time...had to catch a picture.
Over the weekend Daddy and Emma completed a project together...painting a birdhouse. Emma TOTALLY enjoyed picking out each color and painting the pieces for the birdhouse. It was pretty cool to watch her be so attentive to one project for such an extended amount of time.
Still painting...! :)
Daddy assembling the birdhouse.
Getting ready to hang the birdhouse in just the right spot.
Emma took a little break after completing her project.
Daddy says...is this spot OK??
Since we have had a few warm days with beautiful sunshine...it was time for Daddy to pull out the slide and rock wall from the shed after the long cold winter. Daddy and Emma had to use their tools to hook the rock wall up to the swingset.
Emma. :)
Ava. :)
A couple of weekends ago we traveled back to Joe's hometown for a fun birthday party at the bowling lanes. Emma had an absolute ball bowling her little heart out. She is a bowling pro. :)
Emma...after MANY games of bowling. :)
The family. Love these girlies. Daddy too. :)
Emma's Pre-K class went to the Zoo a couple of weeks ago. Emma had such a fun time. Africa is simply amazing.
