Happy Easter!

Here are a few pictures from our day at my grandparents'. Anna had fun playing with her cousins Liam and Charlotte. Liam actually took the first two pictures of Anna!

Liam asked my mom and I to squish Anna's cheeks for this picture (we were all making funny faces for him):

Anna also discovered a new love - angel food cake (one of mommy's favorites!):

Not the best family picture, but it will do.

Decorating Easter Eggs

Anna had fun decorating Easter eggs on Saturday. She knew all the colors and only cracked one egg!

Swimming!

Last weekend we took Anna to an indoor pool - she loved it! I couldn't get a good picture of her in the water or smiling, but trust me when I say she was one happy little fish! She showed off all her moves: kicking, splashing, putting her face in the water, and blowing bubbles. She also really liked saying, "Ready, set, go!" and having Jimmy and I throw her back and forth.

Check out those skinny little legs!

Playing on the steps:

I'm looking forward to lots of trips to the pool this summer - hopefully Anna will love swimming as much as her parents and aunts and uncles (and cousins, and grandparents, etc., etc.)!

Fun in Ohio

Just a quick update. Anna has been having fun in Ohio getting to hang out with family and meeting lots of new kids. She got to go on a few "lunch dates" with Grandma at Panera:

Mama (my grandma) and Uncle Evan came too!

Anna has also had fun "helping" around the house. Her main job is feeding my parents' dog and cat, but here she is helping clean the floor:

Cute pigtails, courtesy of Grandma!

She also helped the other day by emptying (and therey requiring reorganizing) all the kitchen towels in the drawer.

I finally got a picture of Anna smiling AND looking at the camera! Here she is in the catalog rack at IKEA --- she was quite please with herself!

Hopefully we'll have some fun pictures to add soon --- Jimmy, Anna, and I had a free professional photo shoot last weekend with the studio Jess used to work for, and we're supposed to get the pictures back sometime this week or early next week!
