Easter Fun

We had a great Easter weekend. The weather was beautiful! We went to Oklahoma for the weekend, then came back in time for dinner in Plano. Double the yummy food and double the candy! Yeah!
Abby had lots of fun for her first Easter!

Happy Easter!

Hope each of you had a very happy Easter this year!!!

Easter Egg Hunt

Tonight our class from church had a picnic and Easter egg hunt at the park. We took Grant & Kendal with us because Mel & Chris had dinner plans. It was a fun time! Trying to get 3 kids fed out on a picnic table in the wind was not my favorite part, but we did all get to eat at some point. Then the fun began ... the egg hunt. Na gave Grant a "pep talk" before regarding strategy. Kendal just wanted to open her eggs - she wasn't so much into finding more than one. Grant filled his basket, emptied the contents into my diaper bag (I didn't know this till we were leaving by the way) and then reloaded! He and Nathan together are dangerous! Below are some pictures of the fun evening we had together. The only unfortunate part was the wind and the cold. We all were a little under dressed.

Finally!!!

Ummm, where do I begin? I know you are thinking ... FINALLY she is blogging! We have been super busy... it has been crazy.

9 Months - Abby turned 9 months at the end of January. She is such a good girl, we really enjoy every minute.

10 Months - Abby turned 10 months at the end of February. She is all over the place these days. As you can see I had to tape the sign to her back, because I can no longer get her to sit still for a picture. Wild woman!! She crawls, pulls up, stands up and holds on with one hand then drops down and off she goes again. She loves to get into everything she not suppose to get into ... dog food bowls, doggie door, cabinets, drawers, etc...

We had to put up a baby gate to keep her out of certain areas ... menace! As you can see she doesn't like it ... she goes up to it and bangs on it, trying to push through.

Her new favorite toys ... old Easter eggs I found in the closet.

I love to eat paper or leaves or anything I can find on the floor!

In between January and February we had lots going on. I had a big show for work, so that always takes over our lives for a couple of weeks. Right before that Abby was sick - it lasted about 2 weeks. It started with an ear infection, then she got sick from the antibiotic so the doctor took her off the antibiotic and then she ended up with viral bronchitis. It was not so fun. I was sick during that time and so was Nathan. Ugh, not fun being sick at the same time.

Then last week Na's uncle passed away. Duane had been sick with cancer for a while ... it was still very sad, but we are glad that he isn't suffering any longer. We left last Tuesday to go to the funeral in Kansas. We drove through OK and dropped Abby off at my parent's house, then went on to Kansas for a few days. We are actually still in OK tonight. We will be going home tomorrow, and I am looking forward to getting back to the rountine of life. We have been so busy the last month that I feel like we are "off" our normal schedule. I hope we can get back on track this week.
