Cabella's or bust!

Daddy's favorite spot in Owatonna! Good thing we could see it out our hotel window!

The Quilting Retreat, Owatonna, MN

Here is a picture of the quilt they gave Aaron's grandma for her 90th birthday!

Lauren and her Aunt Allyson!

Here are all the "Sisters in Stiches". Aaron's aunts and grandparents! Lots of laughs and lots of fun at the quilting retreat.

Swimming!

Lauren loved getting to swim with daddy in the hotel pool! She can hardly wait until summer!

Lauren and Grandpa Peters watching the ladies quilt!

Our trip to Minnesota!

This billboard was across the street from our hotel! Pretty special!

Lauren loves spring! She went to her first Easter Egg hunt on Saturday. She loved Daddy holding her by her feet and reaching down and picking up eggs and putting them in her basket. She found the golden egg!!! Therefore our wagon was full of loot on the way home. Check out her newest "funny face"- "OH, NO!"

Uncle Dave and me at the Rodeo

This is a picture of my Unlce Dave and I on a John Deer tractor. He took me to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. It was so much fun! I got to see baby piglets, calves, rabbits, chicks and a llama. I watched a farmer milk a cow, and I even got to eat a corn dog- it was SOOOO GOOOOD! I can't wait until next spring to go again!

This is Lauren's newest friend Sandy. Her family visited us last Thursday. She is an amazing eleven year old with "Down from Heaven" Syndrome ( that is what she calls it). It was very encouraging to meet her and her mom and brother. She is very outgoing and it is evident she loves Jesus. He has gifted her with the ability to play both the violin and piano. She is reading above grade level, and speaks with amazing articulation. Her mom, Gina, gave me some great pointers and ideas for Lauren. Lauren just fell in love with her, and she was such an inspiration to Aaron and I. I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for these two girls!!
