A Visit to Ohio

We were very excited to spend Easter in Ohio this year. I have never spent Easter in Coshocton before and was excited to see the Easter musical at Charles' home church that I had heard so much about over the years. We decided to make the trip so that we could meet our new nephew, Mavrik. He was only three weeks old at the time of our visit and is such a cute little guy.
Me and my nephew, Mavrik!
 
Here is a picture of me and my sister-in-law, Angie. She is the proud mama to Mason, Maelynn, and now, Mavrik. I am holding Mavrik in the picture and she is holding Timothy. I cannot believe how big Timothy (4 months old) looks next to Mavrik (3 weeks old). I think these cousins are going to be great buddies!
Grandpa and Grandma loved spending time with their Georgia grandkids.
 
Timothy and Great-Grandma (she turns 91 this year).
 
The Cousins: Maelynn, Mason, Mavrik, Carson, and Timothy
 
Before our trip to Ohio, Angie had told us that we could have Mason's two-wheel bike (with training wheels) to give to Carson. In the weeks prior to our visit (and getting the bike), we told Carson he had to work diligently on his chores and earn enough chore chart points if he wanted the privilege of owning a new bike. He was very consistent in his chores (making bed, getting dressed on own, setting the table, etc.) and was very excited to bring the bike back home to Georgia with us. He has really gotten the hang of it and is even able to maneuver up and down the big hills in our neighborhood.
 
 
 
 
 

Celebrating Cali's 2nd Birthday


In mid-march Nana and Papa came into town to help celebrate cousin Cali's 2nd brithday. Unfortunately, on the day of the birthday party, me, Charles, and Nana all got the stomach bug and could not attend the fun ladybug brithday party that Julee has planned for Cali. Carson, Papa, and Auntie Joy were able to go and help Cali celebrate. Cali is the cutest little ladybug I have ever seen!

When Nana got to feeling better, she enjoyed playing superheros with Cali and Carson. They have so much fun together!
