Flying to England

Pictures of Amelia's first flights. From Des Moines to Chicago then (after a 2 hour wait and a change of planes because they couldn't fill the toilets with water) our 7+ hour flight to Manchester. Amelia ate, slept a bit, smiled at strangers and didn't cry. All in all a success!!

Easter

Here are some pictures of Amelia opening her Easter gifts from Grandma and Grandpa McLean.

Performing with the Lion

Amelia had fun this weekend playing with her lion and other toys. Music plays when the nose of the lion is pushed, so she stands and pushes the button over and over (and over) again. Each time with a big smile. Yesterday she started raising her hand after the music started playing as if she was performing with a 'ta-da' at the end.

Homegirl

Amelia loves being at home. Here's a few of our latest shots. The final one is her watching Daddy play the Wii.

Out and About

Here's some pictures from St Patrick's Day (we saw the incredibly long Des Moines parade on a gorgeous day), swinging in the park (guaranteed giggles), and testing out our new backpack.

Amelia was baptized last Sunday and we had a lovely weekend celebrating Kevin's birthday and Amelia's baptism with family and friends. Amelia's gown (we believe) was worn by her Great Great Grandmother at her Christening in the late 1800s.

Cakes

I've been experimenting with cakes and wanted to share Kevin's birthday and Amelia's Baptism cakes.
