Easter Extended

We love our cousins Juliana and Lily Grace!

I love when we share holidays with folks we love and some we are just getting to know. I am thankful that Abdula was willing to experience this with us and Russell as well since his lovely wife was out of town. We also had the Tilley's, Overman's, Orlando Conrad's, and M&B as well that made this day extra special (but didn't get photos of the group). I am thankful Martha doesn't seem to mind when we invite tons of people over.

How to tie a bow

Adeline was so proud to tie a bow all by her self.  Beaming with pride.  She has been pretty independent in working on this task refusing my help for months.

Essie too is working on this task.  She gives props to her friend Ian David at school (who also helped her get that shiner today) and Ms. Jenn for teaching her how to tie her bow.

I love you girls!

Easter eggstravaganza

We love the fun at Trinity United Methodist Church. We met up with the Tilleys for some additional fun. We joined in the race for egg hunting a little late and missed almost all of them, but that ended up just fine as soon as we got to the dip a peep table. We dipped peeps in chocolate on a popsicle stick and then put sprinkles on top. I only had a nibble, but very delicious. We jumped in the bounce house, pet cute ckicks, dyed eggs, saw the Easter Bunny, and ate hot dogs and climbed on this awesome tree.

Funny thing is Bryan was getting the hotdogs, I had my hands full with 5 icee’s and I got a stranger in line to take photos of the girls with Ms. Bunny as Jill was busy with kiddo and Ms. Bunny logistics. It was too funny. He took like 20 photos and even said, “work it” to the girls. They were oblivious of course just hugging and sitting with her. He was flying all around getting some good photos for us. If you happen to be stalking us, thanks for everything. There were lots and lots of girl smiles with the bunny! I just wanted one with all 5! And just so I don’t ever forget, we call ourselves the TillCons. So here is a pic with all the TillCons! Party with the TillCon’s :)

Fun

A day off....and it is already full of color.

How does the Conrad Garden grow?

So we started a garden (4 weeks ago)!  What fun!!! There were a few times I wondered if we would have any plants to grow.

Bugfest

We had fun at the department of entamology bugfest.  We touched a tarantula, touched a huge south african millipede, held roaches, threw a cricket, and raced roaches.

Earlier in the day we collected 4 catapillars in our cool new bugfest container. I think it warmed Essie up to the idea. She was least comfortable holding the roach as evidenced by her little grunts. So brave!  Both girls were pushed to the front of the line for cricket spitting.  Adeline quickly got put of that line. Essie stayed and threw it. Smart girl I say to know better than to put it into her mouth!

Happy Spring
