Easter Fun

Happy Easter to all!  We had a good time celebrating the holiday weekend, despite having our hands full with a cranky newborn.  Adalynn took part in a few Easter egg hunts, spent time with the Easter bunny, and decorated eggs.  At least she was a happy camper.  Wesley, on the other hand, has turned into a grumpy-gus.   He no longer just sleeps and eats.  Now when he's awake, he gets bored rather quickly and gets extremely ticked off if he's not eating.  Unfortunately, he's still not interested in rattles or other baby toys so there isn't much we can do to combat the boredom other than move him around to change his scenery.  The guy has more seating options than we do between the bouncer seat, pak-n-play, newborn pillow, boppy, and the swing yet he doesn't care to be put down for long.  He has decided that the little aquarium mat isn't too terrible, so we can keep him occupied with that for about 10 minutes.  We're not sure if he's just in a crotchety old man stage or if his actions are simply a result of still being under the weather.   I just hope it doesn't stay this way.  For some crazy reason, I thought he would be more laid-back than his sister was as an infant.  What was I thinking?  Anyway, he further frustrated Mommy when he decided to go through a growth spurt on Easter Eve, resulting in an adorable Easter suit gone terribly wrong.  It was all we could do to barely squeeze him into the thing.  I had intended for him to wear the suit for Easter, his infant dedication at church, and an upcoming wedding; but that is no longer the case for the latter two events.  Oh well, I'm glad he's healthy.  Hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend!  Here's a sneak peak at our festivities......

Not sure why my sister thinks the Easter Bunny is so great.  I, personally, find this oversized rabbit to be a bit shady.

Adalynn decorated Easter eggs for the first time.  (Because Mommy was finally successful in making hardboiled eggs for the first time).

I love to play dress-up.  Today I'm dressed as a door-to-door 40 year old salesman who is down on his luck and hasn't bought a new suit since he was 25.  Mom is trying to pawn this off as my Easter outfit.  Good luck with that, Ma!  My story is much more believable.

Everyone keeps gushing about how cute Adalynn is in her Easter dresses every year.  Maybe I'll step it up a notch and actually fit in my outfit next Easter.

Here's a blast from Easter past.  This is one of my favorite photos of all time so I thought it would be fun to share it again.  Here's Adalynn on her first Easter............
