Big Sister

Today we had another ultrasound for the little baby in my belly. It was so fun...besides drinking the 20 oz of water and holding it for an hour and a half! The baby looks good, they were moving all around in there, the littlest member of the family is a whopping 9oz. We came home and asked Elizabeth if she wants a brother or a sister and she replied something with 2 syllables... A sister would be fabulous, a brother would be awesome... Either way we are in for a treat, there is really nothing like a love of a sibling.

Elizabeth has started scrunching her nose and saying "ewwww" to things she doesn't like or slimy things she finds on the floor. She also insists on smelling flowers, we were waiting for Brent at Beuhlers grocery and we smelled the flowers to pass the time she apparently loved this so much that now...we walk by daffodils and she begins to blow air loudly through her nose until we go over to the flowers so she can take a reverse whiff. .. she must smell all the flowers she sees...even the fake ones! She is a character!

Easter

My mom cooked a wonderful brunch and then we quickly got ready for Easter Service. Here we are outside Mom and Dad's house. E was so adorable today.

Brent, Elizabeth,Katie and Baby Coleman...

Elizabeth and Great Grandpa Beep at Gwee and Beeps home for Easter lunch. E is one happy girl for completely missing her nap! We had a great weekend, eating a delicious dinner at Judi and Paul's on Sat night seeing Great Aunt Dana and Great Uncle Jack. Then heading to Pop's and Tutu's for Easter....

Easter Morning Egg Hunt

Woops- I put the pictures in reverse order...I guess it must be the pregnancy brain. Anyway, E had a fun fun Easter Egg hunt on Easter Morning. The bunny hid the eggs right in plain sight so she could find them very easily. That was so nice of the bunny. Here she finds her Easter basket full of some gifts.

Daddy helps her with something during the egg hunt...

yummmy...treats in the eggs! This year the E bunny was very conscious of E's tender little tummy...her eggs were filled with teddy grahams and cheerios, raisin and other yummy things.

AN EGG! the hunt has started...

Pops helps E with finding the treats inside the eggs...after all it is what's inside that counts... :)

Spring!

Elizabeth likes to go to her kitchen and mix up something in her pots and pans. This of course takes lots of stirring and mashing. The other day she stirred her pot and came to find Jones and give him a bit of her cooking! I grabbed my camera and got a good one!

Brent and E in her cute pink car! She loves this thing, I had to move it to the other side of the garage so she would not see it when we get into our car!

Aunt Mary came by last week over her spring break. We took Jones and E on a walk, it was a beautiful day! And great to see Marz!

After the Egg hunt she was invigorated by the brisk weather...she decided to cook and wanted some "wawa" for her cup. She can spend a lot of time in here, stirring, mashing and mixing up all kinds of pretend things to try. She loves to play in her party kitchen! This room was intended for the dining room, but for now it serves as a playroom/ party kitchen room.

She also is a "helper" with the sweeper. She was "helping" our great room.

Here she is in our morning room off the kitchen.

Since when is she shy? She is counting her eggs....1,2,3,4,5,6!

She is sharing her eggs...I'm not too sure she knows what is happening.

Easter Egg Hunt

E and I went to the park to have an Easter Egg hunt between the snow drifts! We bundled up, put our boots on and went for it! The Mom's Club organized this really fun hunt. E loved picking up the eggs and putting them in her basket! The Easter bunny was nice enough to come early and to leave some right in middle of the yard.

Apparently E want's to share her one egg...

She was so proud of her eggs!

She loves the wind in her face...she might be a fighter pilot like her Daddy?

EWWWW an egg with dirt!

MoViNg DaY!!!!!

Here we are...standing in front of our new door to our home! This was immediately after we received the keys from Marrissa our wonderful sales rep. We went to our house and Judi and Paul came over with some pizza. It was great! Saturday morning the moving crew came....Mom, Dad, Jake and Stacey, Kelly and Jason, Brent, Brandon and B's cousin Ryan helped load at the storage unit. We had some awesome help! Here Brent, Mom and Stace are checking out the truck...

It must be really really heavy! Or maybe Brent is just really really strong?! I gave directions on where to put our stuff while everyone walked in the door.

Jason is always a Buckeye Fan! Even moving tables....Go Bucks! Nice work Dad!

Kelly was working sooo hard too!

Stace and Mom expertly organized our kitchen. It is awesome!

Still organizing...after lunch. We had a delicious lunch provided by Judi and my mom. It was fantastic and tasted extra Delicious in our kitchen.

Just enjoying the house...surrounded by cardboard boxes, some make pretty comfortable chairs or footrests.

The feet on the sofas were a puzzle...but Brandon figured it out!

What is this you ask? Oh it is a pink car for our little miss!! Judi (B's mom) brought this over for the littlest girl, she loves to sit, honk the horn and drive around.

Brent was able to take this week off to move us in and unpack. It has been great to have him around to do all kinds of things and enjoy our house. Elizabeth is used to sleeping in her crib, it has been since July 2nd when we moved out of our home. She has been sleeping in the pack-n-play but not she is having sweet dreams in her crib! Jones likes the place too, the windows are low enough he can look out and see whatever he likes!
