Easter Pictures

I'm really not sure how I feel about blogging right now.  There is a small part of me that misses it, but a larger part of me that does not want to spend the time or mental energy to get thoughts that are longer than a status update written down.  I am probably not going to be blogging on a regular basis anytime soon, but I know I need to post some more recent pictures of the kids.  Easter was a great chance to take some to share.  Grandparents (and anyone else who may actually still be reading this), enjoy...







You can barely see it here, but Nat's wearing a tie.  It's ridiculous.






We hosted Easter dinner at our house.  My parents and sister were here along with my Aunt Shirley and Uncle John, and my grandfather.  The men are missing for this impromptu picture.

Eater baskets from grandma!!!






Aunt Lisa and Nathaniel both adore each other.  It is sweet to see.

Random Updates...

Patrick built a garden box this year.


He had some help doing the planting...


We are hoping for a lot of peas.  They planted them in intervals to spread out the harvest season.  We were very excited when they sprouted.
Patrick built a pea trellis so the peas would be happy...

I love that he involves the girls in the process.


Our excitement grew as the peas quickly started wrapping their tendrils around the trellis.
Stay tuned for more gardening updates.  We've Patrick also planted peppers, cherry tomatoes, squash, zucchini, lots of herbs, tea, and flowers.   


In other news, a bird family has been building in our bird house.  How cosy.


 This little guy is still stealing our hearts.


 He is more alert these days.

and still gets LOTS of love from his sisters.


Wednesday marked 9 weeks.  He had his 2 month check up on Tuesday.  As we suspected, he's growing.  11 lbs, 5 oz to be exact...

 He has also begun smiling and "talking" which is awesome.  We've yet to capture a smile in full bloom on camera, but this is close...


 He does still does plenty of this though....which makes mommy very happy.

Patrick's cousin, Tina, sent the cutest package from Hawaii.  How sweet are these hula skirts?!?  We are going to have to host a luau this summer just so Nathaniel can wear his adorable Hawaiian duds.




Camille has transitioned to a "big girl bed."  She started taking naps in Adeline's room a few weeks ago, and then we decided we should turn our guest room into a room for Camille.  We just purchased an ADORABLE daybed from Craig's list.  I'll try to post pictures soon.  She loves to do all things "big," so this was an easy transition for her.  If only the ease would carry over to potty training (which we haven't started yet)....sigh.

Two year birthday pictures coming soon...

Easter Finest

Thank you, Grandma, for the coordinating Easter dresses and hats....SO CUTE!!!


Oh, yes, he DID wear plaid, seersucker overalls!!!  I KNOW!!!



I took the girls outside before church to try to get a few pictures.  Camille wasn't having it!


But she cheered up a bit when we got back inside.



I couldn't resist...



Someone commented that Camille is ALWAYS smiling.  She is a pretty happy girl, but I thought I should post a picture of her "serious" face.

We spent the afternoon with Patrick's family.

Grandma spoiled them...


Mikey

Madison and Jenny





Taylor and Dominick

Here's the best one of all the cousins...


and one with Grandma...


Seriously, how cute is she in that hat?!?


Mikey was having a bit of a rough day.  Why is he crying here?...

It might be because my oblivious daughter is playing his favorite for today guitar.

Yep, it's guitar envy...


Then there was bubble blowing...



and egg hunting...
