Happy Easter

So close!  All but one photo uploaded with the proper orientation this time!

Loving all the smiles the past two weeks!

Easter Sunday started out as a holiday with no plans, but ended up to be such a fun day.  One thing just led to another...

Nope, no Easter basket in there...

Found it!

Who needs candy to enjoy their Easter basket? (We saved it for the forthcoming egg hunt)

We did plan brunch with Kerry and Paul at a restaurant in our neighborhood followed by an egg hunt in our yard for the girls.

The basket is filling up.

Ellis got an egg too!

Since the weather was so nice, the Shaws got out their slip and slide!

Nora and Finn, warming up.

 Doug and Diane (more neighbors) hosted an impromtu egg hunt in their yard, originally intended for their two grandchildren, but ended up including seven extra kids!

Who needs an easter dress and basket?  Finn's shoes, a bucket and a bathing suit are fine.

It ended up being a fun day outside with friends.  You never know what the weekends will turn into in this neighborhood!

Other than that, it has been life as usual.  Ellis is awake more during the day now, but continues to wake up just once or twice during the night for feedings.  He is really getting big, any guesses on his two month weight?  He's getting too long for the 3 month sleepers already!  He has also started smiling a lot more and cooing the past few weeks, so fun.

Other than getting cold, Ellis enjoys bathtime.

First visit from the ice cream truck this year.  Only $3 for a fudgesicle :)  And they always come right before dinner...

Munching on bacon before dinner one night

So grown up.

Fairy wings!

 You may notice all the bibs-Ellis spits up a lot.  This makes for lots of laundry (his and mine); appearently he takes after Uncle Bruce in this regard.

Tummy time. He actually likes it!

This weekend we are planning to smoke some pork butt and have the neighbors over to enjoy it.  Next weekend Mike, Emily and Croix are coming for a visit which should be a lot of fun!  Life just marches on, luckily Ellis is portable right now and just goes with the flow!
