During the Easter holiday, Mom bought a humongous container of Jelly Belly jellybeans. This picture was taken at the end of the weekend. As you can see, nobody liked the black jellybeans.

April 4, 2010-(part two)
Today, we had to say good-bye to our brother Seth. Unfortunately, he was forced to leave if he was going to get up the mountain in time for the snow storm. *sigh* He will be missed. *sniff, sniff, sniff, sniff*This is his last parting with 'his girl.' Sorry about the blurriness. It can be so hard to take good pictures with a dog.
April 4, 2010-Happy Easter! He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!!
It is another Bagdanov Easter tradition for the children to come home from church and find a small basket of goodies in their bedroom doorway. This year, however, it was different. This year, I found the treats on my bed. :)
April 3, 2010-Happy April!
It's becoming an Easter tradition in our house to make small edible birds nests coated with chocolate and two candy eggs to top them off. Today, Mama and I continued that delicious tradition. I'm really looking forward to eating these!

On a favorite TV show, my family witnessed the host tear a phone book apart with his bare hands. So, Ethan decided to try this out for himself and see if it is truly feasible.
As you can see, he was successful in his quest.

Tonight was a Boy Scout Court of Honor. At this event, the scouts are awarded the merit badges they've earned recently. Their parents and siblings are encouraged to come, too. Although I would rather stay home, the reasons I come are: #1 I can't stay at home alone. #2 A friend or two will most likely be there, also. #3 For the refreshments at the end. March 29, 2010
Our pear tree is getting even more blossoms! They are so beautiful and delicate, perfectly designed and reminding me of how great my God is. Now lets hope these flowers actually do their job and produce some fruit!!

Today Seth went skydiving for the first time. I was so glad the guy who went with him knew what he was doing! 
(B) My brother's face clearly conveyed he enjoyed doing a crazy thing like jumping out of an airplane.
(You can't get a bigger smile than that!)

Tonight, our beloved brother Seth came home for an entire week of Easter break! This picture is of his reunion with 'his girl,' Maddie.
(B) She was obviously elated.

This is the Easter garden I made yesterday. The large rock represents the tomb Jesus was buried in. The stone path leading to it is flanked with two tea candles.

Two friends from our Awana club came over for a play day. We had so much fun with them: making/eating pancakes, playing with Lego's, and creating Easter gardens - small gardens duplicating the one Jesus was buried in. This is a photo of my family at our breakfast dinner with the guests Michael and his sister Olivia.

Today I noticed our dwarf pear tree (the one that's never bloomed) growing blossoms, not just buds! Hopefully, this year we might get fruit!
(B) Apparently our azalea trees are doing the same.

Although I truly should have been going to bed, I couldn't resist testing an idea for a hair-do. Here's the result (on my good side).

A double batch of chocolate chip cookies! Yum yum! Here are the yummies.... I mean beauties waiting to be baked.

I have now completely learned and almost mastered the calligraphic font Chancery Cursive.
Here's a sample.

I found a Tupperware lid at the bottom of the dishwasher. Is a surgeon nearby? We still might be able to save it!
March 17, 2010 - Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Lately, I've been teaching myself calligraphy. Right now, I am learning the Chancery Cursive font. This is a picture of one of my practice sheets.

It has been exciting to witness the first signs of spring burst into bloom: the fresh green grass in front of the houses, the trees putting out their new leaves one by one, the flowers slowly appearing in the bushes and planters, timidly poking their tender buds into the world before bursting forth and proclaiming the beauty of God.
This particular flower is from our azalea tree. I remember the first time my family saw these blossoms - we thought one of Ethan's tissues had blown into the leaves. When we took a closer look, however, we realized that it was quite the opposite. Ever since, these flowers have been called either the 'flowers on the azalea tree' or 'Ethan's tissues'!
(A) Probably the most thrilling additions to our property is this little bud. This comes from our dwarf pear tree which has never bloomed since we bought it. We were about to tear it up when we saw it almost covered in buds like this. I hope they actually bloom.March 15, 2010
Our dear friend Mrs. L. gifted us with six gigantic home-grown lemons. They are so beautiful I think we'll have a hard time bringing ourselves to eat them!

Today our family did a major cleaning of our house. On this particular day Mom wheedled my dad into getting us donuts! Yummy!!

In preparation for our trip to Hume Lake, Ethan and I visited the library where he was successful in persuading me to checking out more than my limit of three books. Now, I'm slowly reading my way through the stack. I think I'm almost halfway done. *sigh* *picks up next book*
