Happy Easter

Hi everyone! I really enjoyed my second Easter. Lily struggles with the holiday a little since it means that a bunny infiltrated our property, but we managed to enjoy ourselves anyway!

We went to church this morning. I had a hard time sitting still and I "sang" very loudly at times (sometimes with the choir and at other times a solo!) Daddy spent a lot of time in the back hallway with me.

As soon as I got my Easter basket I loved the colored eggs and immediately started gathering them up. Then we went outside for an Easter egg hunt. It was so much fun. And I knew to collect them in my basket. It wasn't very warm out or we might have hunted for eggs all afternoon! After that I hauled my basket all over the house. I also carried a very heavy bag of chocolate eggs around with me (even though they weren't for me!)

We went to a friend's house for dinner and had a great time. I ate pork loin and waved asparagus around and stained my tights with strawberries. I loved it!

Finally, I collapsed in my crib after reading one of my new Easter books.

Happy Easter, everyone.

From Sunday

Since Mommy had to go to Vegas for work on Sunday she wasn't able to help turn on the computer so that I could type my message. Daddy was going to do it, but he had a technical difficulty.

Here are a couple of photos from Mom's birthday weekend.

I got to play with my American relatives and reaquainted myself with Daddy. He brought me a funny Elmo doll from NY that he had programmed to say my name!

I will write more on Sunday after the Easter Bunny arrives!

Little Neat Freak

We've survived week one with Daddy gone-- he'll be home late Friday night and we are very much looking forward to it!

I've been a little under the weather since Friday (bad diaper rash and diarhea-- not a good combination), but I am back to myself as of this evening. We had a quiet weekend at home just playing and changing lots of diapers!

I did something kind of funny today. Since I wasn't as active as usual Mom gave me some catalogs to look at and I started having a terrific time ripping up the pages. After a few minutes I carefully collected all of the shreds, broke out of the play area by climbing through the basket (pictured) walked into the kitchen and stood waiting at the trash can and then looked up at Mom to open it. Mom thought it was funny because I've never used the trash can before and I just seemed to know where it should go.

I am looking forward to seeing Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Jen & Uncle Billy next weekend!

The Canadians Were Here

I had a great weekend and loved seeing Grampy, Grammie Pammy and Aunt Suz, but only wish the visit was longer! Gramps, we got your message, but I was in the tub when you called.

Today, we helped Daddy pack for his two-week training in New York and then we went outside to enjoy the warm sunny day. We went to the park across the street and did a little swinging and a little sliding in the little kid section of the playground. Then after that we were sad because we had to take Daddy to the airport. We miss him already, but Mom promised she would do silly Daddy stuff for me every night.

Before dinner I colored a beautiful picture using every crayon in the box (except black and brown). It is my best masterpiece to date. I will scan it and email it another day this week. I also attempted to begin a masterpiece on the red chair in the living room. Oops . . .

P.S. Jamma, thank you for the Clifford book and puppet and the card. I love the puppet (I wouldn't put it down before bed, so I ended up sleeping with him), but I can't say the same for Lily! She barked back at him yesterday.
