The Instigator and the Giggler...

...see for yourself:

Old Chicago

Aunt Laurie and Uncle Jared came to town a couple weeks back to visit and where did the Francis family go...well, duh!...we went to Old Chicago. 

Well, that wasn't fun...

We experienced our first head colds and it wasn't too fun! 

Bouncy Bouncy

Due to kind donations we have two Jump-a-Roos.  Zoey took to it like a duck to water.  Bouncing as hard as she could to get it to go.  Avery was a little reserved (both following their developing personalities).  But when we added the second Jump-a-Roo, you love to bounce together.  You both are funny, but, Zoey's "Bouncy" face is hilarious.

Increased Mobility

You are figuring out how to move. Lumbering roll-overs have turned to to quick log-rolls in either direction. Zoey, you have nearly mastered sitting up. Leaving the sitting up position is far from mastered, mostly ending in face plants and shocking rolls backward. Avery, you are a little more content to be stationary, but you will join Zoey in wrestling matches.

More from Easter...

You were in your Sunday Bests:

Baptism

Easter Sunday this year marked a very special day for you both. You were baptized during Easter church service at Arvada Presbyterian Church. You both behaved so well despite missing your late morning meal and nap.

Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents, Great Grandma and the Bode's made it to the baptism. A special thank you to Uncle Mike and Aunt Jessie for being the sponsors of Avery & Zoey at the baptism!

The following are some pictures at the church. Greg and I got married in this same church and Greg was also baptized there.
