Bonnie

I am going to s-l-o-w-l-y fill in the details of Easter week because we are having an extremely full and delightful week with Joe this week! :)

A few highlights to savor: Last night Bonnie Joy spent the night. Oh my. How to describe the delight and spontaneity of Bonnie? Let me give you slice into the evening:

We all went bowling. Everyone is in line and everyone around is gawking at us because we have 5 children 6 and younger. Abbie and Bonnie have their arms around each other and squeal every time they see someone roll the ball. Finally we get to go down to bowl. The lady next to us tells us that the children can NOT cross over a certain invisible line. The children seriously and focusedly learn the goal of getting the pins knocked down.

They had such a ball! Bonnie was so terrific to watch as her ball would roll slowly down the lane. If it missed some of the pins she would cross her adorable little arms-- and once she even layed down in the lane in utter dissapointment (not like throwing a fit, just sad that her ball didn't hit a pin). Part way through our bowling there were cheers of encouragement from everyone around us for our cute little people. The lady who had been so serious at the beginning came and told us that whatever we were doing, keep doing it, because our kids were terrific--they were. :)

We went out for frozen yogurt and some people told us they stayed to watch us instead of going home to watch TV. They said they hadn't been so entertained in a long time. Hmmmm, maybe that's why we don't watch TV. :)

Bonnie is the one who always likes to stand up, ask questions, must be holding a hand or, well, you just don't quite know where she is. Abbie followed her around saying "Aunt" and Joe would pick her up and look in her eyes and say "Little Sister" and she would eagerly want to see, do and think everything she was capable of. Bonnie is quite a delightful little person!!!
