With guidance from his big cousin Hannah, Ian was quite successful at the Moore's Egg Hunt!

Haylie begins the emptying of the eggs. Yes, she found all those eggs in the Great Egg Hunt at Joshua and Hannah's grandparents house.

Easter Sunday means church, ham and a trip to Sherwood Gardens. Here's the Fyfe Family in their favorite roost.

"Ehh, don't let go Grandma."

Haylie is a born climber!

"This one works for me."

I'm bigggggg!

With Daddy's help, Ian perches about 8 feet above ground level and is king of all he surveys.

Two of the reasons why I drive up 95 to DE regularly . . .

Yup, two cuties waiting in the driveway for us to arrive! Don't you just love the umbrella action? Ian is fascinated with them right now and I believe he thinks he discovered them as sun protection.

Actually, Hannah's project is on display at the school Science Fair. She worked hard on it (with little assistance from Dad) and the outcome was successful - it worked!

Joshua cooperates . . .

"Donuts for Daddy"

Doesn't this little girl look absolutely thrilled that her daddy made it to such a special day at her school? David whizzed down 95 (no officers in the viewing audience, right?) to get there on time. From the looks on their faces, it was worth it!

"I just came over to her stuff for a minute."

Hmmm, does she look like she is going to take a "cat nap"?

Ian really got into making the Tuna Noodle Casserole for Uncle Mark and Daddy!

Haylie models a new summer outfit in our "fashion show"

The fashion show was an opportunity for Gail to get the kids to try on all their new clothes purchased for a Hilton Head vacation in three weeks. Haylie got right into it and assumed several charming poses!

Enough of this modeling, Mom, (new shark bathing suit). Can't we read a good book?

The kids really love their cats. This one is Ziggie (Zigberticus). Sam is probably off creating mischief somewhere!

Isn't this the meanest Iron Man you have ever seen? (Joshua thinks so.)

"We made it to the top"!

Snow wrestling?

No, actually Haylie was preventing her two-year old brother from climbing to the top of the snow hill.

Haylie and Ian happy in the snow

Our big worry - power lines and telephone line running through snow-laden pines.

Fortunately, they are young and supple trees and they withstood the snow!

Snow at the beautiful stage - before the dig begins
