Did you catch the Bonus Post?
This was a pretty busy week because of all the Holy Week services, but since we were in church all the time, we don't really have any adventurous stories. Here's a quick update on everyone, Justine-style.
Gretchen:
-Had a couple more teeth poke through this week, so she's up to 9.
-Has been experimenting with sounds, which makes her quite amusing to listen to.
-Missed her morning nap most of the week, but usually made up for it with her afternoon nap. I expect she'll try to drop it completely soon.
-Made friends with the old Greek lady at church while I chanted.
-Has been doing more standing recently. She's quite proud of this newly acquired talent.
Olivia:
-Loves to run. And jump. And twirl in circles. But mostly run.
-Is very excited for the warm weather and all the outside opportunities it presents.
-Thinks "birdhouse" is a synonym for "building." For example, when we drop Bryan off at work, she talks about how he "went in the big birdhouse."
-Helps chant "Lord, have mercy" and "Kyrie Eleison" with me. Also "Alleluia."
Bryan:
-Built (put together) a swingset in the backyard so that Olivia has something else to explore this summer.
Johannah:
-Fixed the sink. It had stopped draining, but a Google search revealed that it's easy enough to check and empty the p-trap before calling a plumber.
-Has a plan for a garden this year! It involves boxes on the driveway...
We went to Michigan this weekend to spend Easter with Oma and Opa. More on that next week.

The girls and me:
Gretchen shouts, "Hooray!"
Olivia gets jealous and has me take pictures of her while she sings:
The girls playing nicely together:
Gretchen's a chef!
I made clothes for Olivia's dolls because she was concerned that they didn't have any (the big one came wearing only a bikini and the little one's dress unraveled months ago):
