Easter Eve

Today was a 'little bit of everything' day. V and I worked together to get the food cooked and the house cleaned for the big get together tomorrow.  I took Bran and J to the playground again until Bran had an emergency bathroom situtation and we ran home to make it just in time!  I walked the block with J a couple more times and he fell asleep in the stroller.  For fear that he would wake up if I moved him, I parked him front of the front door, came inside and worked on centerpieces.  He slept for about an hour out there and then sat it in for another hour eating chips and grapes before he would let anyone take him out. He was happy as could be just munching away and soaking in the sun.

Sadly, today was the day we said goodbye to A's dear great Aunt Jenny.  She was a wonderful woman and will be deeply missed.  This evening M and I went over to her Mom's house for a gathering of some of A's family.  It was a nice time looking at pictures and eating (that's what we do in this family, afterall!) 

When we got home, J decorated easter eggs for the first time with the other kids.  Actually, I should say that he decorated one easter egg.  He cracked his other one and proceeded to eat the entire thing!  Can't wait for tomorrow! His first full Easter experience.  The bunny didn't bring him a basket or hide eggs last year.

Pitt: Saying Goodbye

★ Julian's Latest and Greatest: ★ Cousin Bene gave him his first sip of beer tonight, he preferred his juice box. ★ He loves birds. He sat with cousin Chris today for almost an hour watching birds out the window. I guess it's time to get some bird feeders.

Andre Update: I didn't turn on my computer this morning because we had a lot to do in order to get ready for tomorrow while M was out spending time with her Grandma (Aunt Jenny)-so we didn't talk today. I hope that he will be available in the morning to watch J get his Easter basket and do his egg hunt!
