Happy Easter!

Amelia Marie celebrated her first Easter Sunday!

This is one chubby bunny!


The boys are always thrilled when it's 'picture time.'


Dad, come on, you're embarassing me!


"OK, why is everybody feasting on ham, potatoes and cake and all I get is this tasteless biter biscuit? I can't wait to be a toddler..."


Amelia loves watching the boys and grabs on to them whenever she gets a chance! Photo above is accompanied by a squeal of delight! Aaron is so sweet with Amelia, always bringing her toys and giving her kisses.


The only way we could get Charlie to sit next to his sister for a picture was to let him hold on to his Easter egg. Here they are, big bro and little sis, 2 years old and 6 months old respectively. More people are saying that Amelia has "her own look" now and doesn't have as much Charlie in her face, but there's still a resemblance for sure!


It's so funny to think that now we have the beginnings of a "kid's table." The boys spent about ten minutes here and then decided they would rather just play with their new goodies. This photo is also subtitled, 'Charlie tries a deviled egg.' Notice his expression and the discarded egg on his plate. He wasn't a big fan.


Sweet Mia is six months old and is entering that fun stage where she smiles and squeals the day away. She's trying lots of new foods too and, of course, likes the sweet fruits the best, oh yes, and biter biscuits too. When she gets something less desirable, like plain cereal, she rolls it around with her tongue until she can flip it back out of her mouth--very funny to watch. She hasn't succeeded at grabbing her feet yet, but we're wondering it that rotund-o-tummy could be getting in the way..?

Charlie and Grandma. What fun! Grandma brought all kinds of Easter goodies and even staged an Easter egg hunt for the boys! During church, she was the designated toddler entertainer and, after they left for their Sunday school class, she held a sleeping Amelia for the remainder of the service. It's always a nail biter having the boys "in church" for the amount of time before the kids are released to Sunday School. This morning, there were a few rather loud exclamations of "Uh Oh!" as Charlie dropped his raisins on the floor. Last week, the pastor said "We will see..." and Charlie exclaimed "Mom! A..B..C!" Luckily there are an abundance of toddlers in our church, babies of all shapes and sizes too, so hopefully no one will remember the source of church disruptions.
