Update

Sorry it has been so long since the last update. We've all been pretty busy around here.

Connor and Jo have entered their school's talent show. Jo will be performing the Macarena and Connor will be singing Hey There Delilah by the Plain White Ts. They've been working really hard on their acts. The talent show is April 24th.

James and Nik are trying to rent the house next door to everyone else. We all are crossing our fingers they'll get it.

Lex and Evan went to the cardiologist today. Both of them are doing really well their hearts looked good.

Brenda hit the half way point in her pregnancy this week only 20 weeks to go!

That's all for now.

Ultrasound

Brenda had an ultrasound Friday afternoon. The baby looked great. He/she even gave everyone a thumbs up.

Easter Egg Dying

We all got together last night to dye Easter eggs. As with any function we do together there was noise, chaos, spills, laughter, a bunch of kids, and of course tons of fun.

Matt is using rubber bands to create a tye-dye effect on his egg. He is really concentrating on his task.

Alex LOVED dying eggs. He had such a great time putting them in and out of the dye. At one point he dumped dye from one cup into another cup. As you can see from the pictures he was using his hands they are still multicolored a day later.

The Schmid boys with their finished eggs.

Saturday Afternoon

Saturday was a beautiful day. We had clear blue skies and plenty of sunshine. You can't waste a day like that inside the house. We took the babies outside to play in the yard. The boys ran around outside and played with their toys. They had such a great time.

Alex and Bryson found climbing up and down the porch steps over and over again to be loads of fun.

Bryson and Alex relaxing at their picnic table. It was a fun afternoon outside in the yard. After playing hard we took the kids in for a nice warm bath.
