We love our families!

We had a wonderful visit with Justin's parents the past couple weeks and were very sad to have to say good bye. But we are SO grateful for the awesome families that God has given us. They are amazing at making us feel loved and at staying connected even over so many miles!

 Gracie's Aunt Kirsten sent her super fun paper dolls (Already cut out! Awesome!)

Birthday party for Aunt Jackie on Skype! We love any excuse for ice cream & candles.

 Paper dolls are endless fun!

And just a couple of videos for fun.

Happy Easter!

We had a great Easter here in France!

Anna's new trick. She is getting closer to walking.

 Beautiful flowers from the Saturday market (thanks to my wonderful husband!)

Coloring Easter eggs with Grandma! 

This was our first year coloring brown eggs (it is all we can buy here), but I actually love how they turned out!

A fun photo with Grandma & Grandpa!

Daddy's girl

Anna has a new face (frown) she makes when she isn't happy about something. Justin's parents brought us some baby photos to look at. We are cracking up at how much Anna looks like Justin when he was a baby!

Fun with Grandma & Grandpa!

Grandma & Grandpa are here for a visit & we are loving every minute of our time together!

We have a gymnasium right by our apartment. They do real gymnastics inside. Yesterday Gracie watched some of a competition & decided to make up her own floor routine!
