Trains!!

Mom's Club went to see these really cool steam trains today. They are little trains we can sit on and take a nice pleasant ride through the beautiful countryside. Little Miss loves tractors, she says tractors first thing in the morning when we go to get her out of bed...so I thought she would love love love this.... well I think the picture pretty much explains it all. She was not happy with the trains... We sat down on the train and the "engineer man" came over and asked the girl in front of us to move up so E could have some space...this man was big, in overalls, a gray beard (very similar to the equally scary Santa clause) and he had a big straw hat...this was horrifying to my little girl. So, we only sat on the train...there was not train ride for us today!

Lisa, Grace and Hannah on the train...having a nice time.

More happy train riders...

The New BGSU grad

My sister, Mary graduated from BG this weekend. I can't belive she is olde enough to graduate, I still feel 22 and like I am a fresh college grad. Here is Marz and a few friends before graduation....

My Dad stretching and my Mom poking her head to say Hi. Luckily our good friends the Morgans had Elizabeth. Their son Jack and Elizabeth played during the long quiet graduation ceremony. :) Thanks Morgans!!

There she is the new grad!!!

Her is our family outside the library on the BG campus.

Stacey (who is 6 weeks behind me in her pregnancy) Mary and Me....

Yummy...Yoshi was cooking up some delicious Japanese Steakhouse Hibachi food for us.... it was delicious! E was very entertained by the whole deal...she espically liked the fish in the aquarium...she made fish faces almost the whole time!

Brother Jake and his wife Stace and little Elizabeth, Jake held E for a little while and she loved it!

What a ham...

E eating Oreos...she couldn't sneak them even if she tried!! Here is our sweet little girl playing in the house, with her rain boots on! She loves these things!!

Apple

One of E's new favorite words is apple. We were visiting my mom and dad ( Pops and Tutu) and E wanted an apple...so of course my dad gave her one....and she loved it...an entire apple just for her....

Elizabeth was eating the apple and spitting out the peels in my Dad's hands...it was messy but apparently delicious!!

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... :)
