Easter

We attended my parent's church on Easter morning and then spent the day with my family at my parent's house. It was a nice, relaxing day and good to spend time with everyone (minus Karissa of course...we miss you!!!!). Lane only spit up on her Easter dress twice and it washed up nicely! She is definitely on the move now and into everything. Its a lot of fun to watch this new stage develop, but also a lot more work!

A Busy Weekend

We had a pretty busy weekend with visits from friends and family. My college roommates and I met for one of our fun get-togethers. Marie came into town from the Detroit area with her son Caleb, whom all of us were anxious to meet. Caleb was born 5 days after Laney so it was fun to have them get to interact as well. To put it mildly, Laney was a bit of the aggressor in the new relationship but time will tell with that one :). It was so nice to spend time with these ladies and although our lives have taken us in different directions its always nice to come back together and strengthen our friendship.

Chris's parents and grandparents were also in town to enjoy Easter with Katie and Justin and Maribeth and Ryan (we were at my parents for the day) and celebrate Addie's 4th birthday on Saturday. Mom and Dad Borchert's dog, Annie, also came for the visit. Annie is a big hit with Laney and although she looks as though she could eat her for lunch, they are fast friends.

10 Miles

Its official, I've signed up for the 25K Fifth Third River Bank Run. My running partner, Cricket, and I decided that when we made it to 10 miles in our training it meant we were serious about this and would sign up for the race. Well, on Friday we ran our 10 miles. It was so freezing cold and we were sick and tired of running in this Michigan weather that we decided to run it all on the treadmills. I am not sure if anyone else has done this but I will never be doing it again. Two hours of looking at the same wall and going nowhere is beyond monotonous. And I'm not sure if I have gone a bit crazy because I never thought I would pay money to run, but I did. So, the training continues and we are onto 11 miles for next week. Whoo hooo!!!

Twins?

Could she and her Dad look more alike? Chris got Laney up from her nap today and brought her out dressed exactly like him. Never a dull moment.

80's Night

On Saturday we went to 80's Night at the Intersection with our friends Tim and Kate. It was so much fun dressing up like we did back in the day and listening to great music. It was amazing how the words to all those great 80's songs came flooding back and we were able to sing along with the band. This is not a new thing for Chris as he has this incredible talent to hear a song once and know and remember every word (which can be kind of annoying) but personally, I was proud of my own memory.

You can't see it in the picture but Kate is wearing leg warmers...how great is that?

Love That Laugh

We don't own a video camera so I apologize about the quality and length of this but its just a short little blip from our actual camera. We love when Lane laughs so I thought I would share the love. Chris is just making weird noises but this seems to be her favorite thing to laugh about these days.

Work It!

I tried Laney's new bathing suit on her the other day and she instantly posed in this position for me. I think we may be in trouble!!

Note the rainbow spots on the floor behind her reflecting the light through the front door. This provided about 20 minutes worth of pure confusion and entertainment for her as she went from spot to spot trying to pick them up off the carpet. I think I had just as good of a time watching :)
