Spring time = busy at the Janes household. There seems to be much to do as the world awakens from winter, and keeping up with Grace has added to that this year. Needless to say, one project that has been neglected has been posting recent pictures. Here are some highlights from the last month:

Top on the list is Grace’s first Easter holiday. This year she spent Easter with Mom’s family, seeing Grandpa Paul & Grandma Darla’s farm first. After visiting the cows and new baby calves, it was on to Guthrie Center for her first Easter egg hunt. Although her bucket wasn’t exactly brimming after the hunt, Grace enjoyed watching the other kids and seeing the Easter Bunny. When the excitement of the hunt died down, Grandma Donna & Grandpa Ron took her for a quick stop at the farm and home store with baby chicks and ducks. Unfortunately, Mom said no to Dad and Grace, and we did not return home with a duck. Finally, Grace practiced hunting eggs again on Easter morning with cousin Landon before church. It was quite a weekend!

And the unfortunate baby chick incident:

Aside from the holiday, its been project time at home again. Grace’s projects including pulling herself up and “helping” with everything. Recently, she has “helped” clean up dinner, she “helped” Dad work on the car, and she “helped” inspect the basement work.  Although it seems her help usually slows the job, it certainly keeps things interesting. And Mom and Dad keep thinking about how fast time goes and how soon she really will be helping with everything as she proves what a big girl she is becoming.
