Everyone's great here. Jillian continues to wow us and we are looking forward to a fun summer. Here are the highlights of the last few months.


Taking care of Wallace just like she used to take care of Luray....

Her new scooter....

Fun at the park with Jenna.....

Playing with Jenna at the local kids museum...

Here they are playing veterinarians....

Then came Easter. Jillian managed to get an egg with money in it at the neighborhood Easter egg hunt!

Here she is at church putting a flower in the flower cross.


And as soon as Spring had sprung we headed outdoors for lots of fun....


Jillian is also enjoying her Grandmommy's new house. It's in a quaint little community that has a lake, chickens and turkeys, goats to feed and strangely enough an albino peacock which is absolutely beautiful.


We also went to see a friend at the beach. The weather was warm, but very foggy. So while we didn't get to spend much time playing on the beach we did manage to find lots of shells on our afternoon walks.

Jillian had a great time, even after falling in the water when a wave knocked her legs out from under her. She looks mad here, but she was actually just letting the water run off her arms. We had quite a few giggles over it.

And once the weather warmed up again here in the mountains we spent an afternoon picnicing up at Max Patch. It's an amazing bald about an hour away. The AT (Appalachian Trail) crosses it and so you get to see all sorts of folks, from families flying kites to grungy backpackers to horseback riders. The views are spectacular. And Wallace did well on his first visit to one of our favorite spots.




And last but not least Jillian had her ballet recital last weekend. She's in a class of about seven girls. They were crazy cute and did really well considering they're only around 5-6 years old. She wants to dance at least one more year so she can get a trophy. And I'm just a proud momma. I just admire her so much for sticking with it and being so brave up in front of all those people. Lord knows I was not a girlie girl at her age and you couldn't have gotten me up on a stage for all the candy in the world.
