INTO THE GROOVE

Oh little Javen! You bring us so much joy!
He is easy-going and curious.
He loves trying new things!
Oh Amazia is growing up so fast!
She is a very determined and passionate little girl
...with a great sence of humour!
We are officially into a groove as a family.
During the days, Amazia, Javen and Mom play together,
but we all look forward to having Dada come home.
We watch for him at the window
and all run out to meet him.
It is so fun to see Mazy and Javey interact.
Javen sure takes a lot from her!
Oh Javen Reign! He would do anything
to keep up with his sister!

A TIME FOR CELEBRATION

On April 5th, Javen Reign celebrated his 9th month!
He loves standing at all times and
has even tried moving along the couch.
On April 3rd, we celebrated as Mazy welcomed
her newest cousin, Acee Brook, into the world!
Javen is bigger and taller
than Mazy was at this age.
Here are Mazy and Dada
celebrating Javey's birthday.
Javen was dedicated to God on March 29th.
Our prayer for him is that God will reign in his life
and that Javen will follow Jesus with his whole heart.
What a celebration it was!
Here are the kids wishing Dad a Happy Birthday.
Mazy picked out a few gifts to celebrate Dada, too.

WE LOVE FAMILY

A family photo of the WANDZURAS
Grampa (Chris' Dad) came to visit for a week.
We have voted him the #1 best house guest!!
3 generations of Wandzuras
Grampa loved taking the kids for ice cream
A fun-filled visit to the Vancouver Aquarium
Grampa loves playing with his grandkids
Grampa spent so much time
reading books to little Amazia
Gpa and Nana (Jody's parents)
came over for Javen's dedication lunch
(along with Opa, Oma, Uncle Bev,
Auntie Joan, GG, Grampa, and Auntie DD)
GG (Jody's grampa) came for a visit, too.
Auntie Skee (Jody's sister) came all the way
from Kentucky to come and see Amazia and Javen

WHERE DID MARCH GO?

HAPPY 8TH MONTH BIRTHDAY LITTLE JAVEN!
Javey wanted to sport a matching outfit
to Blue, the dog.
Javen borrowed cousin Averi's walker and LOVES it!
I think he is going to skip crawling...
Javen's first time eating ice cream
- he may never eat mush peas again!
Javen sure looks up to his dad
(it is so cute when he looks up and just stares)
Mazy is becoming quite the helper around the home.
She is the most determined girl I know!!!
Unloading the dishwasher is now a 15 minute job
(instead of a 5 minute one) - but we love it!
Mazy working hard in the yard!
And now a little break after all the work!
We should send this picture into Starbucks!!
And now a little pampering for our girl.
Mom and Mazy like doing pedicures together,
but Mazy likes to do everything "by myself."
