Easter eggs

So we finally were on the ball enough to get our Easter eggs dyed before Easter. We didn't think to take pictures during the activity. Here are my sweet kids enjoying the magic of Easter eggs. Ethan wondered if we could keep any of them white. I told him we have to do that everyday anyway so no way!

Carter Eats

Carter has started eating solid foods. It's going pretty good. He seems to like all the food he has tried. Here he is trying rice cereal for the first time. He likes cereal. The only problem is when he eats rice cereal or oatmeal he breaks out. I'm going to give him a break from that stuff for a few weeks.

Here he is with sweet potatoes. Loved them! Matter of fact, he loved them so much that he kept eating them and over ate and then spit everything back up. What a joy!

He reminds me so much of Emily when he pulls this face. I'll have to find some pictures of her this age so you can compare.

More sweet potatoes. Yummy!!

So happy to be eating real food!!

A Tale of Two Pigs

We have a tradition in our family that whenever a baby is born, all the kids receive a new stuffed animal. When Emily was born, she received her prized pink pig. As anyone who knows us has witnessed, Pig goes EVERYWHERE with our family. This pig could not be more loved even if it were a real live pig. Being so loved has led to many, many hours in a hot washing machine. I know it doesn't look like it, but it's true. It is truly loved.

Randy and I decided we should get a new pig so that we can retire old pig to a shelf. When New Pig came in the mail, I couldn't wait to give it to her. She was so excited and loved them both.
Here she is so happy because now she has 2 pigs. How lucky could she be?

Here she is after I told her that now Old Pig can take a bath and she can hold onto New Pig.

And here are the 2 pigs. They will be best friends for sure!
