bye bye


I have no easter pictures of the kids. They were sick bums all weekend. I do have a few of the girls from our crazy girls night (well, not that crazy, just out til 5 IN THE MORNING!) that I'll get to next post.

I forgot to post these pictures. This is what Alli insisted on wearing every time she went to practice with Derek or to a game. She called it her game shirt. It's really one of those full suit things that snaps at the bottom and it's James' size. Here she is a week or 2 ago before the last practice.
