April

I can't believe Mommom is gone. It happened so fast. 

           We miss her, but it is comforting to know she is at peace.              

This is before. She gives random people this face all the time and they don't know what to make of it. She is playing what I call the "face game".

This is after. Reverse psychology works on Maren. "Don't you smile." 

Also, we have gone from not keeping any clothes on to changing clothes multiple times a day. 

 Why are they obsessed with carrying around everything they own, but not playing with any of it? They must think it will disappear if they don't have it with them.

 Speaking of which, I may have conditioned them to think that way. Ha. 

At first he didn't want anything to do with Daddy when he put on his computer glasses. 

"Who is this person?"

 I don't have to try very hard to make this guy smile. 

He walks around like this all the time. Too cute for words. 

Pictures

 I got some of my Dad's pictures of Evren's first birthday party and our vacation to the Dominican Republic. The kids and I have since been to Ohio for a visit, but I once again forgot my camera.                                                       

 Uncle Kenny and Grandma. Karin, Patrick, Mommom, Pop and Leah Bolt were all there as well.

 He was very serious about eating his food. He likes BBQ.

Cousin Katelyn will be 1 on May 9! She is walking now and has 4 or 5 teeth!

 So many beautiful pictures of the Domincan Republic. Such a wonderfully relaxing vacation.

 

 Always keeping Evren in check.

 He makes friends everywhere he goes. Old or young.

 Finally passed out from exhaustion

 The peacocks and flamingos were very comfortable with people. 

They would rest right on our balconies.

 Meat market

 Derek Hurlburt came to visit us.

 I thought the back of the peacock was just a pretty as the front.

My first time zip lining, so much fun!

 Kenny gets the award for coolest picture.

 Evren gets close second though!
