Easter
Pictures taken after we got home from church this afternoon. It was yucky outside, so had to stick to indoor pictures. Happy Easter!

Jumperoo
Check out my big blue eyes!
Must say a big thanks to Brent and Amy for sending us some of the things Dax grew out of. Henry loves to play in his jumperoo/exersaucer.
Crazy Week
Well this week was a bit crazy. The dogs took off on a run on Tuesday and could not be found. Juneau returned that night alone, which had me pretty worried about Jake and Yukon. Our Septic system also was having some issues on Tuesday. The leach field is draining back into the tank, not good at all. A new leach field must be installed and since that is being done we are upgrading the tank, since is smaller then the normal size tank (our current tank is 750 gallons, normal tanks are 1500 gallons). If we kept the current tank Chris was also going to have to climb down into it to cut up the massive root ball that grew into it (taking up about 10% of the tank; guessing about 3.5-4 feet in diameter). I bet Chris is very happy we are putting a new tank in. The bad thing is they can't get the new leach field and tank installed until Monday, weather permitting. So we must limit all water use that involves draining until repair is done. I can't wait until it is all fixed.
Wednesday morning Henry and I loaded up for a long hike to search for the dogs. We let Juneau lead the way and she took us a direction we have never gone with the dogs; no luck finding them after 2 hours of walking. On Wednesday afternoon I created a flyer for our missing dogs and asked our friends/neighbors while they were in town at Church if they could put the flyers up. I figured since I was over there I would take another look for the dogs that direction; since it was the direction Juneau had taken us that morning. Sure enough, got very lucky and found the two of them about 4 miles away from the house and running the wrong direction. They are home and safe, they just smell awful...they met a skunk on their adventure. I would bathe them, but between the limited amount of showers I can take this week and the fact is snowing they will just have to be stinky for a little while.
Big thanks to the Cook Family for helping search for the dogs and helping Chris out on the septic system. We are very fortunate to have met such good friends/neighbors.

Pine Wood Derby Day at Church
Chris was asked to judge the Pine wood Derby at the church on Saturday. The kids from our church and another church built their cars with their family and raced them. In total there was around 15 kids competing in the race. They all seemed to have a lot of fun. Here are a couple snap shots.
