Easter Pictures

Just a few pictures from Easter Sunday. I wanted to get a family pictures, but there was so much going on, it just didn't happen. So, who do you think Ms. Hannah looks like?



There are several more outtakes on our picasa page. Enjoy!

Everybody Needs Motrin

Hannah was cracking us up tonight... again! She was bringing her stuffed animals into the kitchen where I was cooking dinner and Daryl was working on a project for Kingdom Kids (our church kids program). She sat all her animals in a circle and began "feeding" them with a baby spoon. As we started paying closer attention to her chattering, we realized she was saying that "everybody was sick. Everybody needed Motrin." Really, we don't drug our daughter up THAT much, but she is a fan of Motrin!

Tomorrow we will be using "Resurrection Eggs" to tell the story of Easter to the kids. I was going over it with Hannah at suppertime. She was SO EXCITED to see what was in each egg. She kept clapping her hands and asking for more. Unfortunately, she didn't quite grasp the significance of the empty final egg. In fact she was kind of disappointed. Oh, well, maybe next year?!?!

For a snack tomorrow, we will be baking "Resurrection Rolls," thanks to a link sent to me by my friend Kim. Hannah and I did a trial run. I think she was more excited about the empty roll, especially since the inside was coated with yummy cinnamon and sugar. She's a bit young for the "theology" (I think Daryl was kind of laughing at me as I "explained" it to her), but it was a yummy activity to do!

The Latest with Baby Boo

Everything is looking good! Praise God for the ability to be able to say that. I had my regular check-up with the midwife today. Can I just say how much I LOVE the midwives!?!?!? Erica was such a calming influence after such a stressful month. She agreed with us that a repeat ultrasound so quickly after the first one was probably not going to be very helpful. It would be better to wait until Baby Boo was a little bigger that way we could see if the cyst on the brain (not really a concern, but present) had resolved itself and there would be a better opportunity to get some pictures that were unclear at 18 weeks (apparently the health of the toes were undetermined, most likely because Baby Boo wouldn't like the tech take a good picture). So, my Monday ultrasound has been cancelled and a repeat level 2 will be scheduled in about 4 weeks.

Baby Boo wanted to make sure I knew he/she was ok. The baby was moving like crazy this morning. Now I'm starting to feel the movement that has been so obvious on the ultrasounds. It was kind of funny, the baby settled down for nap at the same as Hannah. Is there hope for same nap times after the baby is born? I won't hold my breath!

Here is another clip of Hannah. This was again taken after Levi's birthday party. As you see, the cake was coursing through her veins!
