Brody's 2nd birthday!

We headed to the Denver Zoo with our dear friends, Nikki, Issac, Jane, Lucy and Kate.

It was such a fun time!

Brody was in awe as he saw the animals from his books come alive!

Oh, seeing the world through the eyes of a just two-year old is amazing!

Wish we could have had a family photo,

but here's a glimpse of Easter

Easter preparations...it's serious business. :)

Anneka and Mary! Our last night was a definite highlight!

Giggles, walking darling and Captain Sundae!

One of my favorite places...the beach of Lake Michigan

Even though it was cold, it was beautiful and couldn't be passed by without stopping!

Cousin time is always a treasure...

we love you, Dayna, Dirk and Kiera!
