Watch Your Eggs


Photo-A-Day #2914

Easter Sunday today and the kids were wonderful. They cooperated pretty well when we got them up early for Church. They behaved pretty well in Church (Andrew was a bit fussy and had to go outside a few times). After Church we went over to my parents for Easter Brunch and an Easter egg hunt inside the house and outside the house.

Last night Allison and I stuffed the eggs that we had with Hershey bunnies, Kisses, Reeses Peanut Butter cups and York Peppermint patties. We emptied all of the bags too. So we had a lot of eggs. We also set up the kids Easter baskets and a note from the Easter Bunny explaining that he hid the eggs at Mem and Grandfather’s because our “naughty kitties” would have moved the hidden eggs all night long.

A Very Thankful Birthday

Today was not only Thanksgiving but it was also Andrew’s first birthday. He came home from the hospital on his first Thanksgiving and on his second one he nearly ate and entire turkey (okay, maybe not that much but he packed it away). That boy can eat, and smile and laugh and he took four unaided steps today too. I can’t believe how much he has grown and changed in one short year. I am so thankful that I took (and Allison also) a photo each day of him during his first year. I set up his own ShutterCal calendar and used the ShutterCal app to quickly snap photos and post them each day all year long. It was a great way to do it. Continue reading A Very Thankful Birthday
