Time has accelerated!

I find it hard to believe that we are in April. Joseph and the girls are growing like weeds. Joseph will turn 8 months old on April 12. Easter has come and gone and and life continues on even if we are not ready for it. The last few weeks have been challenging. Joseph's great-grandmother, Maxine Lund, passed away at the young age of 87. We had a wonderful celebration of her life and Joseph was able to meet some of his cousins. Joseph was a trooper through it and always had a smile for everyone he met. Just like this one from today:



We had family in from Utah and Fresno. It was a wonderful family gathering. It was great to celebrate Maxine's life and to be together to share stories and support each other. Here is one section of Joseph's family. He is in there somewhere!



Joseph is over 20 pounds now and he has forward motion as he learns to crawl. He starts in a nice crawl position:




But he puts is bottom in the air in a strange attempt to fly rather than crawl:


Then his arms go out and he moves one inch forward.---Hey it is a start!

We hope this Easter was as special for you as it was for us. It was the first one for Joseph and he loved playing with the Easter Eggs. It was a special family time to reflect on the sacrifice that saved us all. I found myself reflecting on the sacrifice so many made to take care of Joseph. It is what makes it all worthwhile.

God Bless,
