The Thursday prior to Easter I filled in for another mom and helped in E's preschool class. She has been asking me to do this for a while now, and when I told her about it on Tuesday, she asked me everyday several times to make sure it was true. I did feel wanted as a mommy. So V and I went to her class and enjoyed observing her in that environment.
Her teacher brought and "Easter bunny" to class. Originally named Barnabas, it is now called Bun Bun after having babies :) E could have held her the whole time, she love love loves animals. (I thought all kids did, but there is a diff between the way her and J respond to them, since they were babies)
Everyone has a job for the month and for March she is the weather girl.
Whenever I ask her what her favorite thing to do in class is she says, "um... i like the painting."

Saturday we spent most of the day in our pj's. We read the Easter story (again) and put Easter stories on paper and colored, and then we colored eggs. I always love doing this. We did an egg for V too.
On Easter Sunday we went to church and then headed down to D's moms for lunch. I took a Lemon Velvet Tart. It was delicious!! But it was very rich, a tiny slice is all you need, which is perhaps why it's a cooking light recipe, tiny servings. Okay, I just looked it up for the link...NOT cooking light, it's Southern Living...makes sense.
Decked out in Easter gear.
V's first Easter, and he was looking mighty fine as this outfit matched his eyes perfectly, although the pic does not do it justice.
Yes, an egg hunt. Really I think I do it as an excuse to have some chocolate in the house.
E was not feeling 100% that day. We often found her snuggled up with somebody trying to rest. This time it was Uncle Dwayne.
For those of you looking for the details on V's development, as of last Tuesday he weighed 12.5 1/2 oz. He is 24 inches long. Head and chest have a girth of 15 inches. He is a growing, healthy, happy boy. He wakes up on average 2-3 times a night still and in the mornings I'm exhausted. But he brings us such joy. He is cooing and talking more and more everyday. (video to come) The latest thing I've noticed is that he is talking to toys. Below you'll see a yellow lion(?) that plays music. I caught him talking to it as if he was saying "please, will you play me a song?" In the other one, which was taken today, he was staring and cooing at the giraffe, "oh giraffe, you are so silly!" He's a great communicator :).
