Papa made Shannon a piggy bank. Now she can save up for more Muppet videos.



Easter! Isn't she pretty? Her friend Dawn gave her a purse to carry with her Easter dress. She liked putting her farm animals in it.



Shannon's first Easter egg hunt. She got some movies and stuffed animals. There were chocolate chips in her eggs!


Shannon and her cousins Clayton, Emma, and Levi. Shannon was climbing all over poor Clayton, who was a very good sport about it. They all got balloon animals from a wandering magician.


Shannon as a nudist and as Mommy's helper in the kitchen. Who needs clothes?

Alex has a new toy. It hasn't improved his temper but at least he can sit on it while I work in the kitchen.

I think Shannon wants an Easter sheep hunt instead of an Easter egg hunt this year.

Playing in the snow (in the path worn down by Porthos - there is still a lot of snow out there!).


There are a lot of puddles now that the snow is starting to melt so we either had to not take Shannon for any walks for a long time or get her some rain boots. These are just like the boots in one of her favorite stories!
