South Carolina March 7-11

 Nap time in the car.  Comfortable, right?
 They loved playing together.  Elli especially loved this car:)
 Lillian loved getting her bath.
 Liam wanted me to read him a book while Lana was caring for Lillian.  I loved it.
 She is a precious little girl.  So sweet.
 Look at those eyes staring at Elli.  So attentive.
 Swan Lake photos.  New family of 4.
 Our soon to be family of 4!
 24 weeks.
 A little tree climbing for a great family pic.
 Our turn:)
 Some friends of Lance and Lana own goats and chickens.  We had lots of eggs while we were there.  The kids were able to feed to goats and chickens, then we all took a nice long walk through the woods on their property.  Such a nice family.  They have "adopted" Lana :)
 Such a sweetie.
 A trip to the park yielded lots of squeals of laughter, lots of static, and lots of fun.
 Pizza night!
 Just a glimpse of the unhealthy evening of pizza, chips, pop, oreos, and ice cream.  Glad this is a once in a while kind of meal.
The morning before we left, Liam was ready to play, play, play!  We miss them already and know it will be hard to not see them for a long time.  They head out to Germany the end of April.  Had a great time visiting. I got to snuggle and play with Liam and Lilli quite a bit.  Elli did too:)

A Visit with Gloria, Feb 27th

 They really do seem to love each other.
Elli absolutely loves to hold this little sweet girl:)

Winter Warmer, Feb 24th

 Heather and I "on the ship."  The annual winter warmer went very well and was a lot of fun too.
28 Cedarville girls came to help paint nails, run the parafin wax station, make smoothies, and help at inspiration island.  Great group of girls!

Date Night

Elli really wanted to spend an evening with Brent.  She chose to go to Bob Evans, go figure:)  She wanted me to take this picture like they were really leaving.  Her ideas:)

Meet Rayna Elizabeth Ferguson, Feb. 21

 4 out of 5 cousins.  We were missing Liam, and then Lillian joined the Ferguson family just 3 days later.  Such fun times in our family.
 The bee gets a hug.
 Trip to the Cedarville basketball game on Sat night with Seth, Nana and Grandpa to let the adults at Kyle and Meg's take a nap:)
 Meeting Uncle Brent.
 Elli loves her little cousins.  Fun she is the oldest cousin on both sides.
 The new family of 4. Happy parents.
 Megan's parents got to come down on Thursday and spend almost a week.  Meg's sister Heather also came with her little girl.  We had a great weekend together.
I love this one!

Kids and their toys

 Brent got a helicopter after wishing he had one like my dad's.  (thanks Leah for the new time sucker!)
Elli playing tea party.  So much fun to watch and play with her.
Brent's helicopter motor quit working, so dad and Brent performed surgery on it.  Dad was able to finish it off after ordering a new motor and replacing the battery.  Serious stuff!
