It's been a long time comin'

A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I finally decided to catch up my blog :) So since St. Patty's Day, Josh and I have been up to a bunch of stuff. I only have a couple pictures, because our camera is still packed away, but I plan on taking a few more this week, and will add them along with further announcements, so keep coming back to see what I've added.

This is (from left to right) Mariah, Gabe, and Miranda, Josh's younger siblings. For Easter, I like to color eggs. It's one of my favorite traditions! And as I sadly found out, Josh's siblings have never colored eggs...! I was shocked! So I started a new tradition for them :) We boiled and colored eggs together. It's also one of my things that you have to put your name and decorate one of the eggs just for you. They enjoyed that. I had to force Miranda to want to do it with us, but later she thanked me for forcing her because she actually enjoyed it. Who'd a thunk? And Gabe asked if we could do it again next year. Of course! It's a tradition!

This is a picture of a hole that Josh dug, then filled back up. To help give back a little to my Grandma and Dave for letting us live with them for a couple of months, we've been helping them do some projects in the yard. He dug a few holes for their new patio, filled them up with gravel, and then bricks are going to go on top. That man sure knows how to move dirt! I helped plant a couple gardens (usually when Josh didn't know so that he couldn't get mad at me for doing too much). We also put in an irrigation system in the back garden, and plan on doing one in the front before we move.
