Happy Easter

I remember Easter last year because it was the first time that I really felt noticeably pregnant.   Our yard was in full bloom and so was I.   What a difference a year makes!  The blossoming tree is gone and in its stead is a massive concrete hole and our little Grady is here and growing into his own little person. Life is good.

We had a great, low key Easter weekend.  It was in the 70s here and down right gorgeous.  We spent a lot of time outside soaking up the rays. Easter itself was filled with a great church service, an impromptu brunch as a family of three, and a dinner at my mom's house.  We utilized the church daycare for the first time and Grady did great. As a result, I sat side by side with Chris rather than in the foyer with a busy/loud little boy, which was also great!  When we picked Grady up the childcare worker exclaimed, "he sure is active, I can see why it would be hard to have him in church!" Smart lady, you got to know our son very quickly :)  

When we stopped for our impromptu brunch, we didn't have any snacks for G so he was given bits of bread and mandarin oranges from our plates.  We were not really planning on giving him real food for awhile, but to our surprise he did great and had his best restaurant behavior to date.  He topped off his Easter feast with some bits of asparagus later in the day.  The kid won't eat a banana if it killed him, but asparagus is just fine, go figure!

Easter eggs filled with puffs and a new green ball, what could be better?

Enjoying his new bits and pieces approach to eating.

And after lathering his fair skin with sunscreen all day long, I thought it was time to break out his new "big boy" bathtub.  I think Grady enjoys the fact that there is more room for his 852 bath toys.

All smiles

The kid loves his bath toys, can you tell? 

"This is the biggest duck I have ever seen!"

And here are some pictures of that big hole in the ground.  We are eagerly waiting for some tile to come.  If it doesn't come in soon, Chris may take matters into his own hands, I have never seen him so anxious  (usually that is reserved for me!).

Chris is also going to roll his eyes at the amount of blog posts this week, sorry, but we have a lot going on ;) Up next a tribute to our first child.  Happy birthday today to Miss Bella!!!  Then the arrival of Boise's newest residents, the Whitfields!  Can't wait!
