Whew! It's been a long time since I have a chance to do an update! We had a beautiful day at the Milwaukee County Zoo back on April 26th for their free day. There were 26,000 people there and it was a "zoo":). We had a wonderful time and were able to enjoy the beautiful weather God provided for us. The last picture is of a good friend of ours from church who was willing to let us share his goofiness with friends:).

Happy Belated Easter!

Easter was a great day. The weather was fairly nice and we spent it at Bill and Bobbie's house with most of the Scheuer family. My mom was able to join us as well, which was nice. Steve absolutely loves Easter and is barely able to make it through the Easter music at church with out tearing up. We are all so eternally grateful for the sacrifice God make of giving us His son for our salvation. Without it, we would be eternally lost. God is so good, all the time.

Lutheran Schools Week

The first week of March, we celebrated Lutheran Schools Week at St. Paul's. Monday was wig and tie day. The boys didn't have any wigs to wear, so they used their puffy pillows and squished them down on their heads:). Very funny! They went on a field trip rollerskating, so the "wigs" didn't last very long. Our boys are so awesome!

Mitchell Park Domes

Mom! Look at that plant!

We were blessed to be able to spend a day together at the Mitchell Park Domes. They have their model train show there in January, February and March every year and I make sure that I have a day off to take the kids. This year we were blessed enough to have Steve and my mom join as well.

The best Christmas present ever!

Silly Benny:)

Cousin Kate, Isaiah, Cousin Ellie and Cousin Brett

We had an absolutely wonderful and blessing-filled Christmas. Elsiana's favorite present was her Gerber Graduates snacks:). Babes are so easy to please. The next picture is of Grandma Bobbie reading to the grandkids about the true meaning of Christmas. They were hanging on every word. We love having family involved with our children who are constant witnesses for our Savior. Ben is such a character! He loves to make us laugh and we love to watch him:). The last picture is of Cousin Kate, Isaiah, Cousin Ellie (the newest Scheuer) and Cousin Brett. Grandma and Grandpa love having all of the grandkids around.

Our Beautiful Little Girl

"Hello! Do you like my hat?"

"Are those presents all for me?!"

Our little Elsiana is such a character! She is a very happy girl and loves to smile and giggle. Her brothers can really get her going:). She is loved so much by our entire family (and a little spoiled too).

The Advent of our God

Life is busy at the Scheuer household these days. We are all busy getting ready for the most wonderful time of the year--when God sent his one and only Son to save us all. Elsiana is very excited about the Christmas tree this year (last year she was too little). We had a beautiful 11 foot real tree for the first time as a family this year. Unfortunately, it fell down this past Friday and has been replaced. Isaiah put up his little tree that he made in Pre-Kindergarten. It is about 6" tall. Elsiana is just as excited about that tree as she was about the 11 foot one:). That just goes to show that it doesn't really matter what is in your home, it's what is in your hearts at Christmas.
