March 25th was a very special day for Will & me. We met on Sunday the 25th of March 2002. After meeting at church we went to Dwayne & Mindy Seeber's house to watch the Oregon Ducks play against KU in the Elite 8. So, this Sunday March 25th the Ducks were playing again in the Elite 8. Sadly they lost this year just like 5 years ago, but what a coicidence! So I decided to share some pictures from Violet's birthday party. She's opening presents on a sweet little table Papa & Gigi got her & in the background you can see Papa, my aunt Mona (Violet's grandma) & Rick (Violet's grandpa). The picture of Lilyanah is from the beginning of the month. Still no more new teeth & very very very little new hair! Yesterday she crawled up on the bed, saw my water bottle, knocked it to the ground, looked up at me & very loudly said "uh-oh". She says that consistently. She still isn't saying Mommy or Daddy. You can say "fishy" & she'll smack her lips together, or say cow & "moo" & she'll make a hard to distinguish moo sound back. But I'll say Mommy after she's been repeating me & she just laughs. She's taken as many as 3 consecutive steps but as soon as she gets close to whoever she's walking to she just throws herself forward. I'm glad she's not in any hurry to grow up. . . I'm sure that won't last as long as we want it to.
There's a picture of Hazel (Violet's little sister) sitting on her aunt Becky's lap. Isn't she a little doll!? Hazel is a little over 5 months younger than Lilyanah. I love the picture in the background on the right of Violet loving on Hazel!
The last picture is of me, yikes! I was nearly 5 1/2 months pregnant when that was taken. I thought I should be fair & show my growing belly. I know you can't really tell but I had straightened my hair in case any of you were curious. It's still naturally curly. . . it takes a little bit of work to get the straight effect. And now you'll have to excuse me, I have a very tired little girl laying her sweet little head on my lap, rubbing her eyes. Love you all! ~ Wendy.

Wow, I can't believe that was five year ago. Dwayne and I are so glad that we introduced you two!! Wendy you look great, and Lillyanna is precious!! Take care.
Thank you for your sweet comments, dear "annonymous" friend! I love you!...I almost accidentally typed "I live you" and it reminded me of a funny story. :) Call me and I'll tell you!

Hey Wendy!
When are you going to put another post on here! I'm starting to look silly...
Thanks for your encouragement, and I'm glad you like the name for the ranch! It's still a dream, but it seems right!
I'd love to go to the seminars that the ranch in Oregon has every summer...maybe next year!
Love you,
Saundra
Thanks for the pictures and update--I always enjoy them. You're in my thoughts and prayers. Enjoy the spring!
We love the baby-belly pic! I'm so excited for you guys... it won't be much longer till she's here, huh?
Hey, any word yet on that 'unspoken' prayer request? Just curious if we need to amp up our prayers! ;)
So, when are you going to post another round of pics for me? I appreciate all your comments, and your encouragement, and your diligence in reading my ranting and raving blogs!
I love you bunches!
Saundra
