Easter











Easter 2012!  The bunny came to our home on Saturday morning since we decided as a family that we would use Sunday to celebrate the reason for the holiday.  To me, Christ's resurrection is a great symbol of hope and faith and rebirth.  The weather was perfect, too; everything turning alive.  A perfect reminder.

So, bright eyed at 6:30 Saturday morning, we discovered what the good old rabbit left.  New Easter bags, bubbles, sidewalk chalk, jump rope, and matching shirts for all the girls.  Plus a little bit of candy.  After seeing this, Copper changed her mind about wanting the Easter Bunny to come; before this when asked, she would say a quick No!  That afternoon we had some of our cousins come over for an egg hunt and lunch.  We have a sweet backyard for an egg hunt.  Although we had to hide the eggs three times because Copper kept picking them all up before we even started, it was still a lot of fun.  That night she said, "party? eggs? gone?" When we said she would see her other grandparents the next day she threw her arms up in the air and said, "Yahoo!"  Sunday morning the girls were given the rush-job of matching skirts I made them.  Really rush, since I didn't start until Saturday night.  I forgot new church shirts, though.  Oh well.  We tried to enjoy the spirit of Christ at church; I'm sure it was there, though our kids don't give us much of a chance. After church we went to Tim's parents for a nice dinner.  I forgot to take my camera, though.  Oh well again.  Easter was fun and we can't wait for next year when the babies will really understand what's going on!

Easter-ish, belt exams, and more

  Micah's belt exam was last month.  She advanced to the top of three brown belts and her junior black belt exam will be this fall.  She asked me not to tell or invite anyone except Auree... and Auree is her karate friend. She said, "only karate people there except you guys."  Copper was in NY, so it was just Tim and I and Dakota.  Kota's phone died about one hour into the almost four hours we were there, and what a trooper. Haha. Micah is awesome! While waiting they had to do all sorts of "the grind" exercises.  Here she had to put her feet on her friend (boy Ronan) legs and then do push ups. It looked really hard. Jujitsu fighting with friend (girl) Ronan... Three hours in and she just sat and took a break.  She looked beat. I'm grateful for girl Ronan's friendship with Micah.  They're all such great friends with her. Ronan, Kristine, and Micah Ms. Kassie came back to see everyone who was advanced testing! Micah was thrilled; this is her mentor...

She's Here!

Yea! Copper is here and is so beautiful! She was born on June 8, 2009 after a surprise "You're not leaving the hospital" induction. She was 6.13 pounds and 18.5 inches long. She had the cord around her neck twice, so she was this dark haired, albino skin girl with quivering lips. But so cute! She got some color right away and has stayed pink since! Here's a few pics...

 We went to California! Micah has her annual karate in the woods event through ISKA, and this year we decided to take the whole family and go a few days early. It kind of stinks because the girls had 4 days of school and then we took off! I don't regret it though. They are hard workers and they got caught up pretty fast.  We got there really early Wednesday morning after an early flight, and started off the day off with a baseball game with the San Francisco Giants. Micah is now baseball's biggest fan. Especially the Giants, and especially number 51. I can't remember his name but she knows everything including his stats. 🤣 Wednesday we also walked Pier 39 and about exhausted ourselves from a very long day.  Thursday we hit the national monument and visitor center of the Golden Gate bridge and then walked along it until we got a pretty decent view of the ocean. So pretty! After that we spent the whole rest of the afternoon at the San Francisco zoo. I think this was Dakota...
