Easter and miscellaneous March and April- April 4 to April 9.

Let's start with some catch up photos.

Here's Beazy looking sweet at a party- even after she ate a whole pound of cherry tomatoes.

Beazy again sweet- this time sleeping.  I really feel bad having to wake up this sweet girl.  But rarely do I get to see a sleeping baby.  There used to be a very strict "Enter this room upon penalty of death" rule.

Papa had a brief stint in the theater when he helped out at a reading of "In God's Country."  We heard he nailed it.


Henry was laying down some Lord of the Rings truth on us when he made this Venn diagram to explain the relationships between orks, men and dwarves.  I'm not sure I get it entirely, but I still couldn't be prouder.

Much like I am proud of Beatrice.  

She totally made it out of this box with only a little but of help.

Way to go, girl.

Man, I love this picture.  It's the Turners in all kind of long-haired glory.  Even mom is rocking some relatively good hair.  Put this one up on the wall.

Grandma and Grandpa Seibert were down for Easter.  That's a good looking group.

Now Grandma and Grandpa with just the kids.

Now that Mass and formal photos are out of the way, we can get down to the business of eating some candy.  

I think Bea likes her first Easter bunny.

Even if she keeps making this funny face.

Seriously, I think the pure concentration of sugar was shocking to her system.

Outside, we got down to hiding some eggs for the big kids.  I feel bad because we didn't actually get a single picture proving that Out great friends Elizabeth and Matt had come in for the weekend to see us.  Except for this kind of shot of Queen with Georgie.

Two girls standing in a garden with Easter baskets.

Henry having to go to drastic measures to retrieve his eggs.

And Bea looking sweet in my very favorite baby sweater of all time.

From a facebook post:

"Good decisions made recently:

1. Insisting my parents and maid of honor spend one more day with us( and bringing them to help me sell off all of my baby clothes).2. Ordering from the untranslated portion of Asian Delight menu. ( It was intestines.)3. Partaking in imaginary sword-play in time to "The Danger Zone" at Kerri Worthy Kwist's body combat class.4. Sharing this picture of a newly short -haired and short -toothed Jo."

Here's the aforementioned stuff we got rid of.  It really was a chore.

And more to the thrift store.

While we worked, Brandon took the girls to watch some baseball.

I'd like to think Bea was interested in more than just plain cheerios.

And that the girls were in it for more than just going to CookOut after the game.

Moving on in the week, April brought back Wednesday Picnics in the Park.  Georgie and Sylvia constructed a great fairy garden.  (Poor sweaty Georgie.)

While Bea chewed on some discarded ice.  (Poor 4th kid.)

Finally, Beazy celebrated a good day of yogurt and cheerios.

Well, the cheerios all ended up in Mama's purse.
