Mike's new toy

His smile says it all! He's had that same smile on his face since he picked up his new "baby" this morning in Gainesville. He's in love and he TOTALLY deserves this! And Marina thinks it's really cool that her daddy's new car has a horse on it! :O)

A Treat for Alexander

Alexander,

Grandma found this picture of your mom when she was about your age. Take a close look and see if you can tell us what you see that is similar between you and Mom at your age. Please report back. This is a quiz and you will be graded! :-)

Love,

Grandma and Grandpa

Froehlichs on the Ropes

Kristen,

We enjoyed the pictures of you and the kids on the Ropes at Stone Mountain.  It brought back some memories from your softball team bonding experience.  So, guess what?  Mom found some pictures and we thought the family (especially the kids) would enjoy this short trip down Memory Lane.

Actually, I believe it was in 1994.

Love to all,  Dad

Easter Sunday in Iowa

Happy Easter to all of you.  We had a busy morning as the Easter Bunny paid our daughter a visit.  Caitlin awoke to find an Easter basket at the foot of her bed.  Then, Caitlin went on a hunt and found six eggs with littlest pets in them.  We then had a nice pancake breakfast before settling in for a quiet afternoon.

Caitlin and I are now headed to Chicago because I got an opportunity to attend opening day at US Cellular field to watch the White Sox thrash the Cleveland Indians.  I've never even considered attending an opening day because tickets are too hard to come by.  So, I'm looking forward to this opportunity.

We hope everyone had a wonderful and peaceful Easter and we'll talk to everyone soon!

Love, Bryan, Stephanie and Caitlin

Happy Easter (a bit early!)

We just wanted to wish all of you a very happy Easter this weekend!  I hope you all enjoy the special holiday! 

We are excited to have Mark and Kelly (Mike's brother and sister-in-law) coming to our house this afternoon/evening.  We have a fun weekend planned with them.  Tonight we will be coloring Easter eggs, tomorrow the girls will enjoy a pedicure at the spa, have a quick lunch at home before watching Marina do an Easter egg hunt on horseback :O), then an afternoon playing at home, watch the MSU basketball game (GO GREEN!) and then off to Athens for dessert and drinks in the evening.  After church on Sunday we'll spend the afternoon hiking Stone Mountain.  I can't wait! 

Mom and Dad, Don and Pat ~ enjoy your weekend together!  I know you will!
Matt and Diana ~ enjoy this first Easter with Brody!  I know my parents and GG are excited to see all 3 of you!
Vicki ~ hoping you have special plans for celebrating Easter with Nina!  Enjoy all the wonderful company coming your way soon!
Bryan, Steph and Caitlin ~ enjoy your Easter in Iowa!  Caitlin....be sure to leave an Easter basket out for the Easter bunny to fill! 
Marilyn and Deb ~ enjoy your day with family!  Was so excited to hear that we'd see you at Michigan City this summer! 

We miss you guys and can't wait to see everyone in June! 
Much love,
Kristen and family

p.s.  I will try to get pictures up on my blog soon, but Alexander had his first soccer game last night and scored TWO goals!  I'm so proud of him!  :O)
