Happy Easter!
I included both of these pics to demonstrate Esther's hip sway. We're seeing a lot of this lately.

While dad is a away the children will play...in shaving cream
Anthony went to UT and ID for the Funeral of Grandpa Arave. He was such a great man, and amazing example. Anthony was happy to be with family.
They look like little gnomes, but they're just the boys, with friend Ethen, chiseling away at "fossils."
Our Food For Thought this month was playing with synthesizers. Activity lead by Nate Thatcher.
Esther's favorite part of Midwife visits: Gloves and lollipops
Farewell lunch for Satoko Hikage at Eunmi Lee's house. These are friends from International Neighbors, and we'll miss Satoko as she heads back to Japan!
Family Home Evening for several weeks, was a little birth class we taught for the kids to prepare them for a home birth
Our daffodils are getting more resilient. They survived ice and snow!
Eliot rocked his Break dance class he attended for 6 weeks

How I sometimes feel as I prepare to teach Relief Society. :) I really love it though.
Zumba! My friend Brittany Chavis is an amazing instructor
Ira got 1st place for his age group for the Pine Wood Derby!
Spring means pregnancy walks!
Possible last date before baby comes. Fried pickles at the Sidetrack Bar and Grill.

No wonder there are no other kids at the park today. Time to jet.
Ann Arbor Stake day of service
Food for Thought, we had a reunion with the Stricklans and Kyra Moon, and learned about Moldova
Also the Thatchers last FFT :(

Last day of International Neighbors
The school Talent Show. Ira sang and danced front and center! So exciting. He overcame a lot of anxiety and seemed to take a lot of pride in the performance.
Saying goodbye to their excellent piano teacher: Nate Thatcher
And Mikayla. So sad to see them leave.
Maternity photo shoot. I called up Marianne Shepherd and asked her to come and goof around with me as my "creative director." She doesn't have any experience with photography, but she figured out my cell phone just fine.
Facebook post: Pregnancy is beautiful, but it’s also hilarious, awkward, full of drama...and jazzy hands. Thanks for coming to hang out with me last night Marianne Smith Shepherd (photography, choreographer, but mostly bosom friend), to bring this idea to life. I knew I could count on you to share my pouty faced sense of humor. I call this project: 38 weeks, 5 days.
Ira at "Bring your kid to work day"
Anthony started his new job at ProQuest after 8 years with GE!
Affirmation Shower. Instead of a typical baby shower, I got together with friends who helped make little posters with encouraging words, to hang around the house for labor
While Anthony was at a campout with the kids, I made some art
This one was a collaborative piece by the kids. We need to add baby's footprints or something.
Late pregnancy tie dye onsies tradition!
And now this baby can really arrive, because we've finished remodeling the bathroom. This is our "ribbon" cutting ceremony.
Looking at photo albums to see reflect on the labors and cuteness of the other babies of the family. Check out the kids' tie dye...and those cute little Esther arms. sigh...
Eliot's helping around the house by setting the table
You can come now baby! This sign was cracking me up, since it had the gender mystery balloons already in place for me.
