Rachel came to help Mike with removing the dishwasher. Here they are working on the cabinet under the sink for cleaning and prep for the new dishwasher being installed Wednesday 4/2.

Our dishwasher has been leaking. Mike has had a pan under it to catch water since Thanksgiving. He is wonderfully diligent to always empty the pan, but... This is not a very good long term solution, so the dishwasher has got to go.

Have you heard of or used Husky Movers? These little disks were put under the corners of the dishwasher and then the machine could slide easily on the floor (thanks Uncle Matt--these things have come in VERY handy!).

It's out!

Ewwww, look what it was covering up. We knew there was going to be a mold issue. We were not sure how long the dishwasher had been leaking. We had a little mouse making a home under the dishwasher until we poisoned it. Now we have to clean up the mess.

Before

After

Elijah & Rebekah have been taking swim lessons at the Y all this week. On Friday, they allowed the parents to come out on the deck & take pictures. Since Mike had the day off, he came to watch, and got these great pictures!

Rebekah was a "polliwog", and grinned almost the whole time she was in the pool

Elijah was a "guppy", and after he got over his "swim lessons are for babies" attitude, he had a great time!

Their home for about a week. Time to say goodbye.

Joanna took a ton of pictures. She snapped pictures of herself and Rachel.

We went to a neighborhood church's sunrise service, and not only did they have a FREE breakfast after the service (which was really good!), but they had an Easter Egg hunt for the kids!

After the church, we walked back to Leslie's parents' house, and had our own egg hunt.

Then the Easter Bunny came while the kids were in the back bedroom...amazing!!

Joanna was mad because we wouldn't let her go in the house & get a drink of water. What cruel parents we are.

HAPPY EASTER!!
