Happy Easter

What a special weekend Easter is. Not because of the candy, eggs, gifts or flowers. It's certainly not because of some bunny. Yes, those are all fun, good things, but it's a special weekend because He died on the cross for us. And then rose from the grave. We are so blessed to know and be loved by Him. That's reason to celebrate!

We traveled to Tacoma for Easter, like we do every year, to be with family and celebrate Jesus' resurrection. We had a blast with Abby's family Saturday morning and my family Saturday afternoon. (Can you believe the weather on Saturday? It was what, 65 degrees? On Easter weekend no less. Amazing. That never happens.)

Let the egg hunt begin. (She had no clue what was going on.)

The tulip fields in all their glory

The Skagit Valley tulip fields are finally in full bloom! And just like every other year, we couldn't pass up an opportunity to go see the fields in all their brilliant colors. They truly are a sight to behold. This year was extra special because it was Kyah's first visit.

Welcome to the family

Meet our new niece and Kyah's cousin - Isabella Marie Curtis.


It was one surprise after another this morning. I got a text from my mom at 7 a.m. that my sister was in the hospital and pushing. Then an hour later I got another text that it was a girl.



We decided to skip church and head to the hospital. Two hours later we were in Kent and holding this little sweetie. She's happy and healthy, and weighed in at 7lbs 7oz. Oh, and she has a full head of hair. : )



Welcome to the family, Isabella! And congratulations to the proud momma and poppa! We can't wait to hold her again.
