Breaking News!!

Stop the press! Merritt rolls over now! She did it first while alone with Eric and to be honest, I kind of thought he was making it up or that she had already been on her tummy and he just forgot, but now she's doing it for me like crazy. New pics to come soon.

Casa Lane Update

Last fall, Eric and I got a wild hair and decided to build an apartment on top of our garage for guests and our dusty treadmill. Progress has been sloooooooow, but finally today, they completed the stairs so we're on our way!

Happy Easter!

Here's Merritt before her baptism at the Easter service this weekend. She was on her best behavior until the Holy Water on the head part, but who can blame her?

First AZ Trip

We overcame our nerves about flying with Merritt and took her to visit family and especially her new cousin Dylan Melody LaPrade in Arizona. Dylan and Merritt are just two months apart!
