Adventures with Keeghan at Small Group

So the adults were having small group when all of the sudden the girls thought it was a good idea to wrestle with each other under the coffee table. Both Keeghan and Johanna were having lots of fun with each other. They love to play with each other and I cannot wait for them to become good friends as they get bigger. It was so nice to catch them playing and laughing with each other. Not to mention the beautiful picture of Keeghan eating her celery. I love watching babies play, it is so innocent.

Easter Picture with grandparents take two...

In the last one I posted above grandpa Rydbom's eyes were closed in the picture so wanted to post one that his eyes were actually open.

This was Johanna's first Easter and she did not really understand the whole concept. I hope that when she gets older she loves Easter, not for the candy, but for the real meaning of Jesus leaving the grave and saving us from sin. I hope that she enjoys going to church and everything that Easter brings including spending time with family. For her first Easter experience it was great, she was able to go to church then go celebrate with family at great grandma Wallace's house with her cousins , great aunts , uncles , great grandmas and grandfather , and grandma/grandfather. We had a good time of hanging out with each other and enjoying one another.

Messy girl!

Johanna loves to eat! And these are some pictures of her enjoying her spaghetti dinner. She got so messy that after dinner she went right into the tub to get a bath (another one of her favorite things to do).

First Shoes

So we went up to visit grandma "dee dee" heckman and pappy heckman's house and Johanna got shoes. She got her first pair of real big girl shoes at Stride Rite for her first birthday. I had to just post them because it is a right of passage to get your first shoes.

First Easter

Happy Easter Everyone! Wanted to post a picture of Johanna's first picutre with the Easter Bunny. We got her picture taken when we were visiting Shane's parents last weekend. She did not smile at the Easter Bunny instead she was very inquisitive about his/her fur. Johanna wanted to pet the Easter Bunny (probably because we have been teaching her to touch the animals at home and to be gentle). Well anyways she looked really cute and I am glad we were able to do it. Also, she is sporting her new shoes which I will post a picture of later.

So I finally developed a blog...

I thought since Johanna is almost a year old and some of our family lives away I would create a blog for our family. I also like to view my friend's blogs and get updates when I cannot see them because everyone is so busy. So here is my blogging debuet...I hope to have fun doing this and be able to make some memories and cherish some memories forever for Johanna and my family. Looking forward to the journey....
