Baby Shower

 On Saturday, April 21st, my fellow church/bible study ladies threw Lukkas and I a baby shower! We had a super yummy German Chocolate cake!! 

 Lukkas ready to go to his party! Doesn't he look just so excited. This would be the same face his Grandpa Emerson would make about going to a social gathering. 

 The ladies had all kinda of fun games planned. Here's a picture of Baby Bottle Bowling. We also played 'Price is Right' with baby items purchased locally in Cordova, such as diaper wipes and baby wash. The ladies showered Lukkas with love and wonderful gifts. This was just what I needed since Grandma Emerson had left Friday evening - the perfect distraction to get through the day. 

Miss Leinna was not invited to the party as it was during her normal nap time, but Momma brought balloons home from the party.  She loved that they floated to the ceiling and could pull them back down.  This morning when the balloons no longer "floated" she was a bit frustrated, but soon realized balloons are still fun to play with.  Thank goodness one did not pop- especially since she kept trying to stand and sit on them!!

 For those who were wondering if our snow is melting or not - it is!! 

We've had heavy rains during the night and early morning and then sun during the day which is helping get rid of the snow.

You can see the snow level back in January compared to now. We will probably still have snow in the yard come August- but I'm hoping it will at least be lower than the deck by then! 

This will be our first week without the assistance of Grandma Emerson. 

So, so thankful for the time she was able to come to Alaska to be with us!
