Zoo
We were a little bit crazy, going to the zoo on one of the busiest days of the year. Thankfully we arrived about 2 hours before the rain started. And thankfully we brought umbrellas for the walk back.
We can't wait for the new play area to open up for the season. This place is some serious fun! With even a mini replica of Spilt Rock Lighthouse to climb in (it's behind the post and sign).
Sam loves to RAWR! so the tiger was a big hit.
We finally made it all the way back to the Farm. Our favorite part of the zoo.
Sam and Emily got to feed their first goat. Sam loved it and Emily did too but it took a lot of convincing from Dad.
These goats are pretty pampered.
Did I mention how crowded it was?

Swimming in candy
Yeah, he loved it. :)
So did this little guy. He's a big fan of chocolate. He gets it from his Daddy.
Who am I kidding? He gets it from both of us.
The girls love it too.
And so do the Peeps! Yum!
After church we spent a wonderful afternoon at my Aunt and Uncle's house. None of us could remember the last time we had such a beautiful and warm day on Easter. What a treat that was.
There were lots of eggs to be hunted.
Daddy and little man arrived after his nap and wouldn't ya know, Daddy forgot to dress the fella back up in his Easter duds. His cute little light blue argyle sweater and whale embroidered khakis were sadly left at home. But that's ok, it's the kid that makes the clothes.
And this kid is awfully cute.
So is this one, sporting his chocolate mustache.
The loot!
I did actually think to bring the girls' coordinating dresses in case Maizie was wearing hers, but I didn't think to actually have them change into them. We'll have to try it again this summer. I'd love to get pics of all three, wearing their Darla dresses.
I hope you all had a wonderful Easter Sunday filled with family, sunshine and the Good News of Jesus Christ!

He is Risen!
He is risen indeed!
The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said..."
- Matthew 28:5-6

Dollies
What could be cuter than a Dollie in a skirt?
TWO Dollies in skirts!
I had originally planned to make the girls Dollies out of the Swell fabric from their Easter dresses. but when I saw I had enough scraps left of the fabrics I used for the covered canvases in their bedroom, I quickly changed my mind. I'm so glad I did!
A sweet little note from me to each of my girls. I hope they cherish these always. I fully expect these little ladies to grace their dorm room beds in about 14 years.
And I still want one for my own bed. Seriously!
Amy and I will be whipping up a big batch of Dollie fun next month. Yes, for sale!!! If you have any special requests (skin/hair color, etc...), just leave us a comment here and we'll do our best to make something irresistible. We've even been dreaming up a few accessories!
Oh, and there's something super-duper special about these dolls. You will love it! But we've decided to keep it under-wraps until we can get them in our shop.
By the way, I'm sure you all know by now, but I've used Nic's gorgeous Softie Doll tutorial to make these special ladies. Thanks Nic for a brilliant tute and for allowing me to sell them.
