Easter Weekend





Easter weekend has come and gone; and what an eventful one it was!

Thursday started out with some serious shopping at our new Winners for a much needed Easter dress, that accommodates..well you know, the feeding of the babe:)

Friday morning we had church and than our annual lunch out with my parents to one our favorite restaurants! After that we quickly came home so that Alex and I could get ready to head out to a baby shower for him, hosted by my co workers. It was intimate and a lovely afternoon and evening! Saturday we headed out into the suN! we had a great day at the park with friends, and than back home to get desserts made for sunday, and than a second time with out friends at our place for a spontanious BBQ..it was perfect!

Sunday was church, and than quickly running home to change and head out to easter at Dave's side as well as celebrating his brothers and moms birthday. Today Dave worked and the kids and I headed to friends for an Easter egg hunt and lunch. Again a fantastic day in the sun!!
Tonight was Easter dinner at my parents place as well as celebrating my dads and SIL's birthday's!...whew....I am tired just writing it;) it was a great weekend, but a little intense! LOL

So much to do so little times sometimes:) And I am learning more and more, how shorter time seems with two kids, as everything takes twice as long at this stage:) haha so I have to get more creative!

Hope you all had a great Easter weekend remembering the reason we live!

Alex two months!


I am so bad..poor second child, doesn't get as near as much attention to detail:) I don't think I posted a one month update, but here we are already at two months! And what a two months it has been! So first of all let me say I have the greatest little guy ever..I adore him, and he is overall a really good baby:) But..these last two months have been one of the hardest times in my life. Why? well two kids is an adjustment, then there is sleep deprivation, and no time alone with hubby as baby still goes to bed around nine and so does hubby as he gets up at 4:30am...but the biggest thing has been we have been SOOOO sick. I mean non stop for two months straight. To be honest we have felt like we have been under attack ever since the hospital and both Dave and addy having the flu. We have had the flu, colds, than the stomach flu again, and another round of colds. Through in there Dave working seventy hours the other week..I am one done mama! But, through a lot of prayer and perseverance i am surviving. Barely it felt like some days, but i think we are finally on the mend. And i am so looking forward to a long weekend and celebrating the reason for living this weekend with family and friends!!

But back to my little man..he is great;) He is smiling, and cooing, and as of today rolling over. Hes the easiest baby in the day, but still has his fussy time in the evenings. Its getting better though, and slowly he is going to bed earlier so that I get a little bit of a break at night. he's so sweet, and watching him and Addy together..well, nothing is better;)

Hope everyone has a good rest of the week! I am hoping to find a skirt for this weekend at our new Winners! thats right, that is what is exciting in our town:)*grin* And look forward to coming back with our Easter recap!
