Kate - She is obsessed with planning our trip to Disney World later this month. She is making lists for what to bring, what we need to buy (groceries) what we should do first, what rides she can go on (height restrictions) and crossing off calendar days to count down. Lots of great learning, but she talks about little else :). Jack - Will be 3 on Monday! He really wants to get a bicycle, but we will see if he actually wants to ride it. He climbed the tree by himself for the first time yesterday! Will - Is saying a lot of words now, like mommy, daddy, dog, all down, night night. He loves to give hugs to Kate and Jack when they first wake up in the morning. Grandpa Bill - has been sick and actually in the hospital all week. If you have a minute, please say a prayer for him.

Wishing you a joyful Easter and happy spring!
