Well these photos will only be new to Theresa and Pat, but I thought you guys would like to see them so that's why I'm posting. We spent about 3 hours hiking Glen Onoko Falls yesterday. The weather was perfect...almost a little too hot actually. It's just too bad there are no leaves on the trees yet. We had a really nice time though...and we got to play around with the "shutter priority mode" on our new camera! Here are some of our photos...





Notice Laura and Chris safely viewing this waterfall from below, while Jason tries to give me a heart attack by standing on the edge at the top!

Mom and Dad were nice enough to use their gorgeous Sunday morning to come down to Lansdale and help us fix up the flower bed in front of Dorothy's place. Thanks again Mom and Dad!

Now, we forgot to take the "before" shot, so you'll have to use your imagination and picture all of these weeds...

Here where there's now all bare dirt:

Pippin was our foreman..."Mom, I think you missed a weed over there..."

Mom and Dad were also nice enough to bring us down some lilies and hostas that they separated from their own flower bed. Here's the finished product. It looks a little bare now, but we want to wait until May before filling in with some pretty annuals.

And I thought Mom would like to know that as soon as you and Dad left Pippin started playing with the mouse you made her for Christmas...
Only with the power of catnip can she manage to pull off these crazy yoga moves...
And then Piper had to pose with the catnip mouse so that I would take her photo too (she doesn't like to be left out)... :-)

Here are two photos of the cake pops that Shannon, Tara and I made for Easter this year. They didn't quite turn out like they were supposed to, but everyone still seemed to like them. :-)

Abbey's up and going in her walker now -- she apparently spent most of Easter following Bogey around until he realized that he could hide under the table. So she stood there and waved at him instead :)

We apparently weren't very observant as children...

We took advantage of the beautiful day yesterday to put in our "little" sidewalk. Dad had the spot dug out already, so we just had to add the layer of stone...

then the sand, (getting the sand level and even took some time) and then the pavers...

once we were happy with the placement of the pavers, we had to brush fine sand between the cracks, which was very time consuming...

and the finished product...

Now...on to the next project, a sunroom perhaps!! ;)

Pat was looking at the Nature Conservancy website today (it's one of the charitable organizations we donate to), and look what he found! They're using one of his flickr pictures for their ecards: http://my.nature.org/birds/experience/ecards.html (Pat says it's not one of his favorite pictures, but I still think it's cool that they picked it as one of their 8 ecards!)
