We had a great Easter (despite the chilly weather). James LOVED coloring eggs, and was so fond of his creations that he insisted on sleeping with the eggs in his room. There were a few tears shed when his favorite blue egg cracked (I am surprised that it even lasted the full day to begin with). We planned on attending Easter Sunday mass and were going to head out for breakfast afterwards; our plans changed slightly as we pulled up to church (on time, miraculously). There were people spilling out the doors of the church; AKA the holiday church goers. I can proudly say that we are not grouped into that category of people. Yes, there are Sundays that church is not an option (to be expected with small kids) but we are trying to start the habits of church going early. Pretty soon James will be able to participate in Sunday school, which I know he will enjoy. My only regret was that we were not able to snap any pictures with James in his church clothes, I am always amazed that he even keeps them on through mass. There are not many times that I veto clothing choices; however church can sometimes be the exception. We also participated in Capitol Kids 12th Annual Easter Hat Parade around the Capitol. James was thrilled to meet Peter Cottontail, and make an Easter Hat with his own personal "flair."
The past few weeks have been busy, work is starting to pick up and our personal calendar is enough to make your head spin! Henry has been sick with a cold this week, and his baptism is scheduled for Saturday. I have a pretty long list of things that need to be done, but the lack of sleep from nursing Henry back to health has led to a lack of motivation to complete my tasks.
Spring, we can't wait for your arrival! We are now dealing with a stir-crazy Toddler and a Mommy that has spiked one too many coffees in the past few weeks.
