Spring Break

We were blessed to be able to spend the last week in Palm Springs with the Julien family. Mark flew in from Australia the night before we arrived. We hadn't seem him since Christmas 2008. We missed him a lot, but it was awesome to hear about how God worked through his lives and the ones he touched while on his mission. Sarah and Carley also flew in later that week, so everyone was together for Easter weekend. Addie helped find all our Easter eggs, so that the big kids could divide them up and eat them. :)

Stef and I, overlooking the view from our place. It was overlooking the putting green on the 3rd hole at PGA West. Absolutely beautiful!

Nana, Papa, and Addie saying goodbye at the airport. Addie learned the word "cheese" this last week. Her smiles are quite interesting. She squints her eyes, wrinkles her nose, and give a big toothy grin. :)

Zoo

Addie took her first trip to the zoo while we were in Palm Springs. She'd LOVED looking at the giraffes. She kept pointing at the baby giraffe.

Warthog. We didn't realize how ugly they are. They only reason they are kind of cute, is if you think of the Lion King.

Addie was NOT a fan of the petting zoo. Something about lots of goats and kids all over. She kept climbing up in our laps.

The African drums.

Easter in Palm Springs

Addie was quite smitten with her uncle Marky. She loved having him read books to her, play in the swimming pool, and hang out with her.

Eating a Cheerio snack (best way to keep her happy while hanging out by the pool). :)
