Easter Surprise..one year later...

Megan is about 2 days old in this picture in my Easter basket

1 year later...she doesn't quite fit!

But we are still SO blessed to have her in our lives!

Enjoy this day of new life and resurrection!

Kitchen

Finally, after almost 5 years, we got a real cabinet for our kitchen!! Our friend who made it, finished it in a hurry this past weekend so that Ian could put it in while I was in Portland (picture to come of that ). I LOVE IT!! So far I haven't had time to organize it but it really cleans up our kitchen quite a bit. Megan has only pinched her fingers in the drawer once :-)

Here is where our microwave was..I think it is looking better already.

The past couple weeks just plain wore Megan out..yesterday she simply fell asleep on her stuffed kitty while Ian was doing dishes :-)

Some things.....

.....are impossible to resist! For me, pansies on a balmy, spring day here in Spokane :-)
So refreshing!!

Stages...

Standing...

Walking...

Sitting...

Riding....

Hiking

Megan's first springish hike in Spokane!

She really enjoys riding in the backpack!

It was such a beautiful day out there by the river!

And of course..forgot our Christmas present and had to take a by hand picture of the family :-)

So cute... almost getting her front teeth...

Her new skill is pointing at EVERYTHING, but she especially loves her Noah's ark figures in the bedroom. Thanks Mom for helping me repaint them!!

Her first Oreo...quite messy but she loved it :-)

New sleeping arrangement with her dog..well actually my dog - Ian gave it to me on our first Valentines day when we were dating!

Muffins

So I decided to try something new...sweet potato muffins! Just shred them up...

and cook :-)

It only used egg whites, so I decided to cook the yokes for Megan. For those of you who hate the smell of cooking eggs - like me - I found out that its only the whites that smell...who knew :-)

Final product..they were delicious!
