A day at the park

Last week was spring break so we found fun things to do with Robert all week. I loved having him around with the girls.
Monday we spent the morning at Glenwood Park painting, eating and playing with Erin, Baikal and Rybolt Miller and Jack, Paul and Beth Frilingos. Thanks for a fun morning friends! Paints in egg cartons. An Erin Miller original!

Paul made pink.

Rybolt examines his foot.

This is Rybolt's painting.

Robert made a sun for Laurence Clayton Daniels born that very day! LCD, get it?

CC looks so little here. :)

Easter 2010

Easter takes a lot of time for anyone in the All Saints' Choir. Rob left our house at 5am and was done at 1pm. Therefore, I fed the kids and dressed them alone on Easter morn. I am proud to say, we had time to take some photos before church!

At church we saw the Kosars in their Easter finest :)

Rybolt and Erin Miller, dressed to the nines!

Back at home I insured that we had enough 2010 photos!

After rest time we drove to mom and dad's where Glo and Scott met us.

Esther and Scott.

Look what the bunny brought!

Gloria's pride and joy: a magnificently crafted coconut cake. Glo, is there any left?

YUM.

Rewind: an egg hunt, a cow, and a bunny cake

On the Saturday before Easter we attended an egg hunt sponsored by a church in our neighborhood. We go every year, but this year they partnered with Chik-fil-A and the JPNA for a fabulous event!
Check out our new baby neighbor, Bailey (above).

The kids played in our nearby renovated Brookdale Park where the egg hunt was held.

Bailey again.

The park is so big that they had different sections based on age for the kids.

See Robert in the distance on the hill?

Easter booty.

Esther wanted a picture with the Chick-fil-A cow.

Later that night Joe, Brad and Will came over for dinner. From our house we walked to the church to see their flowered cross. Brad guides CC across the street.

Pretty huh? Robert, Will, Esther and CC.

Did I mention the chocolate cherry bunny cake they brought for dessert? YUM!

the garden!

Gloria treated us to a glorious (pun intended) spring day at the Botanical Gardens.

Esther and CC came equipped with bubbles-

See this one CC?
Esther loves the orchid house.Two beauties in the garden.
Thank you Gloria for a spectacular morning outside!!

Mamma Mia! (My mommy)

Our family has discovered the magic of Mamma Mia! the musical. L.O.V.E. LOVE IT! So, in a spontaneous burst of springtime energy, we made a video. Robert Burlington III is the cinematographer. Featured in the video are Gloria Brown and Laurie, Esther and CC Burlington.
We dedicate this video and the energy it demonstrates to Stephie Daniels who is due to have her baby TODAY. He hasn't come yet, but when he does, remember this!!
