Cozy girls' night

Just a cozy night at home with the girls...started watching youtube videos. Loved this one.

And this one, with tears down my face, the girls hugged and kissed their momma.

 A podge of emotions as we spent Easter with the Sechler family yesterday. Truly a blessing to be close enough just to hang out and enjoy watching cousins be cousins, conversation and just "being."

The big girls were hardly seen, playing games, doing make-up and hair and hanging out in Rebekah's room. However, still one is missing! We miss you Micah. I bawled, reading Traci's post on Caring Bridge, "See you in the morning, Micah!"
Daniel continues to hold a very dear place in Aliya's heart and I was fortunate to snag this shot of some Daniel cuddles for Aliya. And Derrick would gladly report that he beat both his nephews (and Mike) in a Mario Kart (not to mention Madden against Daniel). So proud of our daddy!
