Easter

Easter is a wonderful time for our family, celebrating our Risen Lord all together -- although, since Abby was born, it hasn't involved church! We figure waiting just a bit longer to put her in with the swarm of germs in sunday school is a good idea. I tell ya, we're very spoiled having a child that has never been sick. I'll do just about anything to keep her that way! We spent Easter weekend in Palm Desert with Grandma and Pop Pop, Grant's brothers, their wives, the kids and all of our dogs! It was insanity and we all stayed under one roof. We aren't used to sleeping in the same room with Abby anymore (and thank goodness, after the little bit of sleep we got that weekend) and she tossed, turned, cried and even talked in her sleep. We spent our days playing with cousins, eating, sleeping and in the pool.

Last year, Stacey and I looked like this:




and this year, we look like this (with Abram and Abby, exactly two months apart).

Abby had fun, after being slathered in sunscreen and wearing her rash guard to cover her scar, hanging in the pool and splashing around. I think we've got a water baby on our hands.

Fun with daddy....

Easter Sunday was a beautiful day and Abby got her first bonnet from Grandma as well as a gorgeous Easter basket.
