Easter Egg Hunt




This morning, I took Claire to a local park where there was a HUGE Easter Egg Hunt, bounce houses, music, face painting, etc. We got there in plenty of time, and good thing, because it was packed! I guess I am an amateur at these things. We were right up to the line in the section marked for 1-2 year olds. As soon as they said "go" we were right in there, trying to get some eggs. (I didn't care about getting the eggs as much as letting Claire have fun, but some people were hoarding them...) We got 3. Maybe I have to run her out to the middle? Who knows!! So, next time, maybe we'll try another park or method! There were stuffed animals, but they were long gone. The few eggs we got had stickers in them, which was perfect, because C loves stickers! And I prefer that over candy. There were pleny of marshmallow eggs still on the ground. I guess people just wanted the eggs to see if they won something. It is a gorgeous day, so we sat and had a snack at the park while listening to a guy talk about and show off some animals. I think C had fun and that was the point!

Baby Boy Shower




A few weeks back, some of the girls I taught with (who also have young kids, and I have grown to cherish as friends) threw a baby shower for me and Micah. It was a blast! I was so blessed to get cute clothes, shoes, blankets, burp cloths, sheets, an ear thermometer (which I LOVE) and many other things. I loved being together with family and friends to celebrate the gift of life we are soon to meet! Here are some pictures of the fun day! Love you girls!!

Maternity Pictures

I was recently so blessed to have the opportunity to get maternity pictures done by the same photographer who took Claire's 1 year pictures. I was a little nervous about it, because I never had them done when I was pregnant with Claire, and wasn't sure quite what to expect. I had a GREAT time and the pictures turned out so great! I guess I enjoy a reason to get "ready" and reminded Chad periodically that I had my "photo shoot" coming up! I loved every minute of it. She has such an eye for detail and capturing really great moments. Here is a link to her blog. I hope it works!!
