Maxine's birthday pics

A few observations:
-She looks so very different now.  I am SO SLOOOW to blog these days.
-My heart warms when I see pics of her & her daddy and the crazy love between them.
-Tutus and hairbows don't seem to be her thing...but a girl only turns 1 once!
-I love her more every single day.

Missing Me?

What's been going on around here? Well, this was exciting....

 then she decided to just keep on growin!  Time is passing too quickly!  We get so caught up in busy-ness.  Ach.

Easter 2012

Easter came on the tail of a big day and party in the Albracht house, it did not go unnoticed though...we woke to find that the Bunny came and hid some eggs.

He also left baskets for the kiddos.  Max wasn't impressed.

Cole got the biggest kick out of counting his coins and adding them to his bank.  Cha-Ching!  The boy loves to save.  I hope he is always that way!

We headed to Na's house for brunch and another egg hunt.  The Bunny is all fancy at Na's house!  Golden eggs with big money!

Lovely day.  Nice celebration.

Soccah Stah

Back in February & March Cole showed off his soccer skills for a few weeks.  He had practice once a week and a game on Saturdays. 

Most weeks he had a cheering section for his games! 

Coaches Hannah & Ryan are patient and provide great guidance and encouragement for the kids to try and learn.

Cole's skills were dramatically improved each week - I couldn't believe his progress!

The kids were so cute!

My favorite part of each game was the end, when all of the kiddos lined up to take a bow!  So cute!

Soccer was good for some kicks!  We will see if Cole chooses to show his skills again in the fall!

Smashed!

Cake Smash!
