spring fun

our good friends the greenes stopped in town for a quick visit on their way to florida. it was so good to see them! here are a couple of pictures of the kids.

we have been loving the warm weather. (of course, today it is cold and windy, but anyway...) the boys really play well together outside.

playing on the swings...

a couple of pics of our sweet ellen. she is 11 months old now!

oh, my. this one cracks me up. he just had to be like his big brother!

mmm... doughnuts

i've been feeling crafty, so i made these for ellen for a little birthday gift. i thought they turned out so cute, i am giving some to little audrey for her birthday, too. (don't tell her :)) they definitely show my lack of sewing ability, but they were really fun to make. and they are a LOT less calories than the real ones. too bad i had to purchase a couple of real doughnuts before i asked for a box. how can you resist them when they are hot fresh now?

(oh, i got the idea from a blog called skip to my lou.)
