Happy Belated Easter !!

I hope you all had a wonderful day!

Auntie L & Uncle M were in town from 'Cago!!! B actually got to see a lot of people on Easter... Gaga Mary, Papa Bob, Gaga Sylvia, Auntie S, Brad, Brooke, Buddy, and even met 2 more people!!! And of course, Mommy & Daddy. :)

We started out bright and early with Church service at 830AM! B was such a good boy and we stayed for most of the service within the sanctuary. About 4/5ths of the way through, B decided he had had enough and we headed to the nursery to play for about 10 minutes, tops. Then we went back to Gaga M & Papa B's for an Easter egg hunt and baskets!!! YUMMY food and MORE yummy food. I probably gained a good 5 pounds over the weekend. Oh well. It was worth it!!!!! :)

I am behind in editing photos, etc. I got Adobe Lightroom a few weeks back and am still working on getting to know it and all that fun stuff. And RAW images are HUGE. I need to figure out what to do about my space, or lack thereof, issue.

Wordless[ish] Wednesday

So this past weekend, Daddy P was occupied with the Northwest Sports Show [to promote and do some market research for their company, HSP Marine - if you guys have a boat, check it out !! ;)] Anyway, while he was busy doing that, Gaga Mary & Papa Bob, B & Myself tried to go to a couple of Easter egg hunts near our house. The 1st we tried to go to was supposed to go from 10-12. We arrived around 11 and they had already finished it. Excuse me, what??? So we headed on to the next one and it was pretty much a chaotic joke. Easter egg hunt? No way. They would take the gathered eggs from the bins at the redemption table [10 eggs=1 bag of crappy candy] and literally dump them in a pile not 50 feet away from the table. The line to see the Easter bunny was way too long, especially since the weather was very poorly forecasted. It was supposed to be like 65 and sunny and instead it was like 50 and super windy. Brrr! We were not prepared for such weather... so we will be skipping visiting with Mr. Easter Bunny this year. Oh well. 

Bennett didn't care much for the Easter egg "hunt" anyway... he was a little shaken up by the other children and the chaos of it all. Maybe he'll be more excited about it next year. :) 

We are going to have our own at my Parents' for Easter anyway... maybe he'll be more eager when it's with people he knows and a familiar location!!!! He loves running around Gaga & Papa Steffl's!!!

Auntie L & Uncle M are coming to town late Friday night. We are excited!!!!

What are your plans for this weekend??

Easter Quickie.

I just wanted to post a comparison between last year and this for Easter. I always like to look at everyone else's so here's one of mine!

I'll try to post again about how our Easter went, but for now, I have to just do these pics.

Wow!

16 Months!!!!

[i meant to post this yesterday. oops!]

B is 18 Months old today!!!!! My BABY!!!!

He is so funny... in so many ways. His little personality shows through more and more each day. He tests his limits and thinks it's soooooooo funny. He is starting to mimic more and more and it's so fun to hear him say little versions of words. This morning he was sitting on my lap. He pointed to my eye and said "eyes". SO Cute. His vocabulary is still very limited, but it's coming along.

Poor kid is teething again, he has 4 teeth coming in at the same time. Ouchers. He also is getting another round of Amox for a bad cough he's had for over 2 weeks now. Sounds like it hurts and that hurts Momma's heart everytime I hear him hacking. :(

He has really become a Momma's boy... and I cannot complain one bit about that one. P takes him to daycare on the 3 days he goes during the week [thank you Daddy!] and it's heartbreaking to have him crying and reaching his arms out for me every morning. Last week I was holding him and he started waving buh-bye to P. Awwww.... if I could quit my job, I would have right then and there. Well... okay, I would have quit a while ago but you get the feeling. Poor P... B will cry until I hold him, not P. He will

I have lots of plans for my Mommy-self in the upcoming months. More on that later....

We visited the Easter Bunny for the 1st time yesterday. It was awesome because there was practically no line and we were able to go up to the Bunny a few times, each time hoping B would warm up to him... not the case. He didn't outright cry, but he didn't smile either. I don't blame him... the Easter Bunny creeps me out a little too... but, this one was actually cute and cuddly looking.
