Kisses

Annikka is very excited about being a big sister. She likes to tell us about the things she's going to do for her little sister, like bring her a blanket or a bosch, and the things she will share with her, like her books and her bed. And she likes to give her little sister hugs and kisses. Here we are with 6 weeks to go.

Although it's not shaping up to be a killer season for the Beavers, we've enjoyed going to a few baseball games.

And Annikka always enjoys every opportunity to see Benny Beaver.

Annikka also provided Joel with a nice opportunity. They were returning from the bathroom when a foul ball bounced off the roof of a concession stand and Joel was able to catch it. It's the first NCAA ball in his collection and he would want you to know that Brett Mooneyham of Stanford, BAs 21st ranked prospect for 2011 draft, was the pitcher. The Beavers lost.

A few pictures

Annikka's interactions with Oliver have increased so much over the last few months, although whether Oliver thinks that's a good change is questionable. She has started calling him "baby Oliver", which I think is hilarious since Oliver is 13 years old (obviously too old to object much), and refers to herself as his big sister. So I guess she's getting ready for our new family member.

Annikka also got her first trike. She's still working on riding it (our driveway is too slanted, so it's hard to practice on), and is better at going backwards so far.

And here's a picture from Easter, showing that she has learned the joy of olives.

Easter eggs

Annikka and I made Easter eggs today.

She did really well putting them in the dye and waiting for the color.

Hope everyone has a happy Easter.
