Easter

We had a wonderful Easter remembering and celebrating the death and resurrection of our Savior. The celebration service at our church was so great to be a part of. During the service our children's choir sang and I couldn't help but think that in a couple of years Luci will be a part of that. It was so sweet to watch the little children celebrate Easter.

After church we went out to brunch with mom and dad. Can you believe Luci did this while we ate?!
















I am not one to take pictures of food but this was picture worthy! If you live in Holland you must try City Vu....AmAzInG!
















After brunch the Easter Bunny visited Luciana...

Luci Lu and Mr. Wesley

Wes and Lu are going to be good friends...we can already tell. We had a blast being together and having the kids with us made it even more special.

Since it was Easter weekend we took the babies to see the Easter bunny. Luci would not wake up (do you notice a trend?) but the photos are still pretty cute :)

baby love

We had a great weekend with our friends Bain and Laura. Wesley and Luci enjoyed each other too! Bain captured this video of the babies and I just had to share. Love it!

Dr. Dodds meets Lu

We had our follow up appointment at the fertility center and brought our little gal with us. We were so excited to introduce Luci to Dr. Dodds (even if the little stinker NEVER opened her eyes! ha!) and he seemed pretty delighted to meet her as well. We are so thankful to all of the staff and doctors at the fertility center. They are knowledgeable and passionate about helping couples fulfill their desire to become parents.

more florida

I am so thankful that we were able to get away on our first family vacation. It felt so good to be warm again (Michigan winters can sure be long!). The best part about Florida was being with our Luci girl. As I think back to spring break last year we were doing daily injections in preparation for our first IVF cycle...we weren't sure what was in store for us. This year I seriously pinched myself the entire trip. We had our precious baby that we have been dreaming of! Can life get any better?!

It is so much fun to have all of the cousins together. They are full of spunk and keep us laughing. Luci is number 8 on the Lintemuth side, 4 boys and 4 girls and they just adore her. There was always a cousin (aunt, uncle and of course grandma and grandpa) loving on her...she is a lucky little girl and will have lots of playmates in the future.
