We’ve had a few fun events in the last few weeks. I now document everything due to my new(ish) Smart Phone, which the kids love. No sarcasm there. They beg me to get out my phone and take pictures all. the. time.
I babysat Jena’s kids for a short time a few weeks ago. These two (Lucy and Jacob, who is 3 days younger than Lucy) just rolled around and held hands and cooperated so nicely while I posed them to get cute pictures. It’s interesting to see how much they don’t look like cousins! Don’t worry, Lucy, your tiny mouth will catch up to your head eventually 
The twins had Kindergarten roundup last week. They were so excited and not really at all timid. They read The Hungry Caterpillar and made a craft and played. I had a hard time getting them to leave the classroom. They are really looking forward to going to school with Dominic next year!
Oh, we love this beauty. She is rolling both ways now. Recently, I laid her down in the living room and she rolled herself all the way into the kitchen until she got stuck against a wall. The hair in the back of her head will NOT lay down, even if it is wet. It’s so long now we could put it pigtails, but she, of course, would not sit still to do that! She is so spoiled. The boys love showing her her picture book with all the kids’ photos in it.
A new favorite game at the church playground: playing fossils. The boys bury each other in the mulch and then dig each other up.
“Aunts” Beth and Emily stayed for a weekend. We did lots of snuggling and being crazy with the boys . They get SO keyed up with Beth and Emily are here. Having “Bemily” here is like a retreat for me. We could stay up all night talking Jesus and faith and life. They are a really blessing to our whole family.
We celebrated the Solemnity of the Ascension last Tuesday by taking Dominic out of school and going to Subway for lunch. The Church gives so many great opportunities to party! Even in the middle of Lent!
The Deaver Patriarch turned 34 last week. As usual, he couldn’t really think of anything he wanted or anything special he wanted to do. He’s low maintenance like that. We did a little date night after the kiddos went to bed and HE ended up making ME dinner! We enjoyed some wine and I gave him a very unexciting freezer bowl for our ice cream maker because I accidently gave the old one away. How’s that for a birthday present?? We also celebrated with a special birthday breakfast. The kiddos made gifts and we put a candle in his cinnamon roll. The boys were very bummed that we didn’t put 34 candles in it!
And my super selfless hubby let me leave him with all the boys for a day and a half (On his birthday!) while I went to a women’s retreat in Columbus, NE. Lucy and I and 13 other women enjoyed an amazing speaker, Immaculee Ilibagiza tell us her story of love and forgiveness and her survival during the Rwandan Genocide in 1994. It was an amazing weekend with wonderful friends. I was so busy keeping Lucy happy I didn’t get too many pictures except for a few in the car.
This was Heather and I taunting the girls in the other car who gave up sweets for Lent….
Happy April!!
