Is there an Easter Bunny?

Rowan believes so! She just couldn't get over how many eggs the Easter left for her! It was so much fun to watch Rowan find all the eggs. She took it so seriously. After collecting the eggs, she spent atleast an hour sorting them. This girl is all about 'ORGANIZATION.' She did not inherit that from her mother. I always wish I could be better organized. Maybe Rowan will teach me how!

She is a very serious egg collector.

Rowan knows that eggs are fragile!

I love this shot! I guess she got a bit off balance on the hill, right at the exact moment that I took the picture.

And now, she is organizing all the eggs.

We had a wonderful family and friends Easter dinner. Rowan got to hang out with her buddy Jorgen, who is getting so big!

He's 10 months old!

Um... Where is my toddler? Doesn't Rowan looks like she's 3 in this photo!? Slow down girl!

Easter Sunday Kayaking! Fun! Fun! Fun!

Friends

Rowan and some of her friends at Strongstart! What a great program!

Rowan had a great time with Keegan, Everett and Avery! It's so great to raise kids together with your friends and watch your kids become friends too!

Rowan, Avery and Baby in the tent!

Avery in the hot springs. Gerber Baby?

I just loved how Everett and Rowan both have the same foot of the ground.

Bath Time!

CHEESE!

This girl is so 'cheesy'! A few of Rowan's CHEESY grins!

(She actually is saying cheese in both of these pictures!)

Spring hiking with a new baby

No, I'm not pregnant. But Rowan is carrying around her baby everywhere!

More pics from our picnic on the beach!

It was so much fun to have our friends Leaf and Liz for a weekend visit! We always have so much fun. And Rowan thinks so too. She just adores Lizzy!

Rowan walking the beagle, Sydney, with Lizzy and Sophie.

Getting her toes buried in the sand!

I think she liked it!

Waving bye to Papa and Leaf as they leave in the canoe.

Trying out the canoe and loving it! (She's not actually out on the water. The canoe is on the shore.)

My sister!

My sister is quite the gal! She is very adventurous and courageous! She is a mountain climber, a kayaker - and not just a kayaker but she kayaks across huge expanses of water over hours and hours, and now she is a paraglider. Wow! She is also extremely talented and sews all kinds of wonderful things. My sister is kind and thoughtful. She listens and comforts me when I am sad. She lifts me up just at the right moment. Like this one: when she sent a beautiful parcel with the coolest handmade pouch, with the cutest little viking girl in the coolest pink kayak! It's me! The little viking girl in the pink kayak.

Thanks for uplifting me! Thanks for being the best sister I could ever have.

Sometimes, I think Rowan looks just like her Auntie Leanne! Like this day!

I love being a mom!
