Palm Sunday Egg Hunt

Last weekend our church has their community outreach Easter Egg Hunt. They were expecting around 75 children, but from what Aaron said the turn out sounded bigger. They had games, hotdogs, snow cones, cotton candy, etc. All you need to make children hyper and happy, right?! LOL Rebecca had looked forward to it all week and it didn't disappoint. Also on Sunday morning Levi decided to give us a little cause for concern, so I stayed home from the festivities to rest. After a day and night in the hospital (Monday and Tuesday this week) we are home and all is well.. Turns out he wants to be here early and we don't agree, so for now mama is staying off her feet to keep this little guy baking a few weeks longer. I was sad to miss Rebecca's big day at church, but Aaron took pictures for me and also reported that our daughter is a very good palm branch waver. ;-)

Catching Up!

Why does it seem that every month goes by quicker than the one before?! I can't believe I haven't posted in a month and my last post was that we were all sick. We are better now, obviously! We've had a full month of projects, a trip to Georgia, visiting the Zoo, etc. Here are the pics from the month and let's hope this month I can get time to post more regularly.

Loved these Orchids!

Daddy came with us to the Victory Theatre for a children's play.

Charlotte's Web was really cute!


The American Girls Doll Store in Alpharetta, GA

We had to come back a couple times too ooh and ahh over the babies!

Rebecca enjoyed her week of leisure at the hotel.

Not quite her size, but that didn't seem to bother her a  bit.

Me and my sister with our sleeping daughters.

I may have started a bad habit with the Starbucks, but it was NEXT DOOR to the hotel!

A morning at the park made for a well rounded week of fun in Georgia.

My newest niece, Natalie....now already four months old!

Ready for Spring!

It hasn't seemed very "springy" around here lately, but we know its just around the corner. We can't wait! Warm days, sunshine, flowers, open windows, and playing outside! Also we are excited to be ticking off the days waiting for Levi. Just another 80 days to go. Rebecca has been talking to him some lately, but generally she just tells him to "get out of mommy's tummy right now!". He's sure going to love hearing her voice after birth. LOL The past couple weeks haven't been very eventful. The usual messes, house cleaning, errands, etc. Then just when I thought we'd made it through the winter without illness it hit this week. Rebecca had croup again just like last year at this time. She's been on meds for five days and is feeling more like herself, but she still sounds unhealthy. I got to be the lucky next vicitm and this morning its Aaron's turn. He's at the doctor's office now and if its the same stuff we girls have been dealing with, then I'd say we'll have daddy home for another day or two. By week's end we should all be back to normal and that much closer to picnic, croquet, and sidewalk chalk weather!
