That was no April Fools joke :) Janie is really gonna be a big sister! And she doesn't even seem as mad about it as we made her look. Emmy took the pictures and put the "Baby Heff #4" announcement together - she's so good! I am 17 weeks along and feeling good - a little different than the other three (less migraines but a little morning sickness) so maybe that means it's a boy but I always think boy and, well, I'm always wrong. We are just thankful to be expecting another little character to add to our brood and figure it can't get much crazier than it already is :) Thanks for all the well wishes!

Easter egg dyeing at Jannie and Grampa's Sunday night

Tye-dye for egg dye

love the new pose for photos girls

These were the outfits BEFORE egg dying (thanks Suzi-me-downs) for Palm Sunday mass at Nativity. JJ not having any of it

and some insta-action from the past few days - light table play at PLAY

New staff in the girl's eyes = new blood who don't know all their tricks yet :)

Maisie pretty darn excited about Taco Tuesday

Jannie and Francie coincidentally in yellow - all around!

Her own trip to the shopping center with Jannie - she was "asking" to see the easter bunny! Jannie spoils her :)

Back to PLAY with new kickers!

Art class Thursday with metallics on fabric - lots of textures!

and Francie asked if she could fix dinner one night. I would never say no to that! This was the "picnic" they had on the counter. no complaints!

after a few days of rain (finally) the sun came out. Francie was outside for awhile with the plant/pot her cousins Maggie and Aly made her for Christmas. I asked her what she was doing "Just watching my plant grow mom."
