Happy Easter! And, eight months!

Happy Easter! Christ is Risen!

Here are a few snapshots from us this spring and Easter season!

Yesterday, April 24 marked not only Easter, but Blake's eight-month birthday. And as if that were not enough reason for rejoicing, Annie and Kyle's precious little girl Lydia was discharged from the NICU. We couldn't be more thrilled!

In other news.... Blake has been 'talking' a lot. He can say "Dada" and "Mama." Still lots of teething, but no tooth yet! And, this child can MOVE! He can crawl backwards, and roll, roll, roll til he reaches what he sets his mind to.

And we call him our little 'muscle man,' because he is SO strong! And, he loves to eat! The only thing he dislikes (so far) are peaches. They must be a little too tart for him, because he wrinkles his nose at the taste. Other than that, he gobbles everything down without hesitation, and yells for more. His current favorite food is anything "Yo Baby Yogurt." Banana, vanilla and blueberry - he loves all their flavors! :-)


Easter baskets on Easter morning...
Elizabeth was so thrilled.... her own copy of "Tangled," the story of Rapunzel.
And Blake was thrilled to look through his first Easter basket.... Don't worry.... no Peeps were consumed by little babies....Mommy will be happy to sample all the Easter goodies.
Getting ready for Easter service...


Attempting a few shots of all four of us!
Blake's favorite pastime.... staring at big sister!
