Joy Shakes Her Sillies Out

Hi. Joy has started singing bits of songs that we listen to often. This one is 'Shake Your Sillies Out' by Raffi. Danny listened to Raffi music growing up too but somehow I'm the one dancing and singing it with her while he is running the camera. :) Enjoy!

Happy Easter

Happy Easter! We all spent Easter with the Krafves. Joy was very excited to see everyone, evident by her talking about her grandparents and aunts/uncles most of the trip. Grandma had a Elmo Easter basket ready for her on Sunday morning, which was a big hit along with the colored magna-doodle. Joy was well behaved during church and then enjoyed a lot of outdoor time (FINALLY) the rest of the day. She also had lots of fun watching and talking about her aunts' dogs but she was skeptical of actually touching them. Here are a few pictures that capture our visit.

Old McDonald

Did you know Old McDonald only had cows on his farm? Joy will tell you all about it below...

Krafve Visit

We were blessed with visitors over the weekend. My parents and Jenni and Aaron came to visit us. We had a great time together and Joy loved the extra attention. One of our best memories of the weekend was when Uncle Aaron was teaching Joy to label her elbow. She couldn't quite pronounce it right, so she reverted to a word she knows really well, "Elmo". Then, whenever she wanted his attention the rest of the day, she would call him 'Elmo'. So, Aaron received a new nickname from his 18 month old niece. :) My family also helped us transport a wood swing set from a friends place. Joy is very excited about it and asks to swing constantly now. It sounds like we will be able to get outside to use it more towards the end of the week when it hits temps in the 60's!! This is a pretty normal week for us. We are looking forward to visit from Joy's aunt Sarah this coming weekend! Have a great week!
