Easter

 These pics are way out of order, but oh well. We all headed home to Iowa for the Easter weekend. What fun we had getting see family. When we got to Iowa B had never been on an Easter Egg Hunt before, when we left he had been on 3! The pic above is at our second egg hunt. A long time family friend of mine invited us over to her parents home to search out 850 eggs! It was great!

 This pic was taken just minutes after leaving the Easter festivities at my aunts house. Brod was over on his nap time by about 1 1/2 hours, but he held on so strong with all the commotion (and food) that was going on!

 Brod's Easter attire!

 Ha! I had to include this one. This is his first egg hunt. He really did enjoy looking at the Easter Bunny, but in the safety of my arms. Don't worry, we snatched him up very quickly!

 B quickly got over the trauma of the bunny when on the egg hunt he saw lots of different farm animals. He loved the goats as they would suck on his finger :)

 Back at my friends home searching for eggs. Truly Brod was very content with just a couple eggs. He cared more about the grass, sticks, rocks and.......

.... the basketball court! As soon as his little eyes noticed this full size court with hoops and balls he was done with the piddly eggs!

 there were hoops to be shot and dunks to take place. His daddy didn't mind one bit :) Little to say we now have a basketball hoop on our patio ;)

Our first "disaster" with the boy happened today. We were all driving home together from the doctor this am. B was winning (probably because he saw me go into our favorite bakery and grab some cookies and he recognized the bag!!!) anyway, I handed him a highlighter. They have strong caps on them...right? A couple minutes go by and I realize the highlighter did the trick at keeping him happy. I didn't dare turn around and make eye contact with him though to risk him becoming whinny again. When we got close to home I turned my head back and noticed the little painter in action! Cap long gone with both legs, socks and shoes covered in neon yellow! He really did stay in the lines well as no part of the car seat was colored :) So it was bath time for the 3rd day in a row now! It wasn't long into the bath that I hear Mike yell out "EEEWWWW!!!" Our sweet boy had pooped what Mike measured out to be 4 inches in the tub that he was fishing out, hehehehehehe! I love this stage in B's life. He truly does keep Mike and I on our feet and laughing all the time.

Quick little update on baby girl. We saw our specialist Friday and she looks great! She's weighing in at 2lbs 11 oz which places her in the 18th%. Nothing looks out of the ordinary yet! Thank you Jesus! She's moving and kicking away but definitely not as stubborn as what Brod was like in my belly. My legs have been having lots of discomfort from my varicose veins, so as of yesterday my support socks have been on all day. This should make for an interesting summer :)
