It's been awhile since we've posted an update -- sick kiddos and a month full of activities have taken pretty much all of our free time lately! Thankfully everyone appears to be healthy now, and the activities haven't slowed down, but Mommy and Daddy have vacation in our sights (next week), so we can handle a hectic schedule for another few days!
Emma had "Dress Like Your Favorite Character From A Book" day a few weeks ago at school. She wore red/white striped leggings, a white shirt, and red piggytail bows in her hair and went as Olivia. Unfortunately, she refused to let me take a picture. But trust me, she was adorable!
That weekend, we went to the new park near our house to check out the playground. Emma had lots of fun running around while Daddy snapped photos. Andrew sat in the shade and watched all of the kids playing. He'll be out there joining them before long!
After that, we decided it was time to see how Andrew did with rice cereal. At first, he thought it was great fun because he had the whole family standing in front of him watching -- this kid loves an audience!
Then he tasted the cereal and decided maybe this particular activity wasn't as fun as it seemed at first.
He ended up crying for his bottle after that. I don't think he quite grasped the idea that this mushy stuff in his mouth was supposed to end up in his tummy. I didn't try cereal again until this morning, and it went much better.
Yesterday we all got up early and went to church for Easter. Then we had Mommy's family over for ham and all the fixings. Turns out the Easter Bunny left baskets for the kids not only at our house, but at Grandma & Grandpa H's house, Great Grandma Gerken's place, and Great Aunt Martha and Great Uncle Don's house too!
