powell family: March 2008

10 Months Old!!!

Only 2 months left before Sullivan's 1st birthday. We can't believe it!

Easter Day

Easter with Friends!

Will and I are so blessed with wonderful friends. We were graciously invited to the Whiddon's house to spend the day (and evening!), and we had a blast. The Whiddons, Lohrs and Dulaneys are some of our dearest friends, so spending Resurrection Day with them was really special. Thank you, Steve and Kimberlee, for including us - all 6 of us - in so many of your family gatherings. We love you guys. In this picture, Sulli and I are standing with Kimberlee Whiddon and Chad and Jacob Dulaney.

Will and his buddy, Chad Dulaney

I didn't really hold Sullivan much on Easter. She got passed around a lot. Here she is with Julia, who she loves! (Julia even makes ME smile when she's talking to Sulli; she's just got a way about her!)

Zane enjoyed swimming with his friends! He had so much fun.

Levi did a lot of munching and sipping (it was pretty warm out!). He also played a lot on the slide and swings.

Sweet Sulli is still having fun into the evening. She is such a great little girl.

Here is my friend, Rachel Dulaney, and her son Jacob who was born 2 days before Sullivan.

Our gracious hosts, Steve and Kimberlee

Titus and "Mrs. Wooden" (Whiddon ;))

My little Easter Chickadee

I could not decide which picture to post of Sulli in her Easter dress... so here are all four. :)

Days at our new house...

I haven't taken very many pictures of our MANY, MANY hours spent fixing up our new house. But here are a few. Zane is a huge help, playing with Sullivan when I need to be painting. She can sit with him or her other brothers for hours with no problem. She loves them dearly. They are really sweet together!

Titus, completely worn out from running around an empty house all day, fell asleep on his bedroom floor. Isn't he cute?

Will's working on our guest bath.

Easter Party!

On Friday we had a fun Easter Party at the Roman's house. This was for our CCCA ISP small group. The kids got to make resurrection rolls (where the marshmallows disappear after they're baked), decorate Easter bags, play games and, of course, hear the Easter Story. We love these get-togethers because we have such a wonderful group of moms and kids... a wonderful group of friends! Levi really had a blast, but I had to include this picture because this is his typical "poor me" expression and it cracks me up!

Balloon toss

The kids got to get wet with the water balloon toss, which was nice in the 85 degree heat! This is the warmest day we've had since last year!

Egg hunt

Girls Day Out!

Sullivan and I went to a baby shower for Amber Berck. She is about 10 weeks from having twins: a boy and a girl! My little doll and I enjoyed our time together.

NUMBER 8!!!

For Zane's 8th birthday, on March 8, we all took Nonnie and Popsie with us to Medieval Times. Aside from Sullivan's major blow-out in the dark, during my dinner, it was great! No one in our family had been before except for me on my Senior trip in high school. The best part was the watching the kids' faces.

Zane was our Yellow Knight's biggest fan! He was so excited to see all of the fighting and scary weapons. I thoroughly enjoyed all the beautiful horses.

CAKE

Zane requested chocolatey-chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream frosting, and I was happy to oblige. The beautiful cake stand was a Christmas gift from my friend Stefanie. :)
