Easter 2010

Easter this year was pretty laid back for us. We spent it with just our little family in the morning and were able to sleep in which is unusual with the little man but he woke up early and then laid right back down and we got to sleep until almost 10. It was absolutely beautiful. The Easter bunny did come visit Andrew and he got a whole bunch of new clothes, a lion toy that makes noise and has little teethers on it, and a bunch of new movies that he will enjoy someday. But for now mom and dad can enjoy them. James got some new clothes too which he had been badly needing.

That afternoon we spent Easter with our "Austin Family" and had a bbq which was a lot of fun. We counted up and had 11 adults and 19 children. It was quite the full house and I'm glad it was at the Scotts and not my house. :-) All of us brought our own steaks or chicken and we grilled those and Leslie made her wonderful gorgonzola cheese sauce to put on the meat and then the rest of us brought sides. We had enough food to feed twice the amount of people that were there and it was delicious.
Some of the older kids trying to hide from the camera.
And the younger kids having some backyard fun.
And this is Keri with her sassy new haircut that is now also red. So cute.

Then the older kids hid eggs for the younger kids at the park and we had a little easter egg hunt. Here are all the younger kids just ready to go.

Here are a couple of family pics that Betsy was kind enough to snap of us and I love that she caught Andrew smiling. So fun.



Hope you all had a Happy Easter and enjoyed celebrating the true meaning of it with family and friends. And of course enjoying what the Easter Bunny brought you.

St. Patricks Day

For St. Patricks Day Andrew was at his sitters and he got to have a fun day at the park with her 2 little ones, the 2 Haynes girls and the 2 youngest Ashford girls. He had a pretty fun day. He loves being outside and walking so the park was perfect for him. And of course Laura took a ton of pics so here you go.






Don't you love his cute little car blanket? Thanks Aunt Michelle, you have great taste. Funny that she picked out the exact fabric that I did except mine has a black background. Compare the blanket to the curtains in the nursery and you'll see.

Cute pics and a short video

These are some more pics taken of Andrew by his fantastic babysitter and friend Laura.

Here is a cute little video of Andrew not quite knowing what to make of the sound but he really likes sounds and then his cute little friend Emma the butterfly.

More Pics

Andrew has been going to the baby sitter twice a week while I am working. And my sweet friend Laura and her 2 little kiddos are the greatest babysitters he could have. He gets all kinds of lovin' and I get lots of pictures of the little guy that are super cute. Emma is the cutie patootie that you will see holding him in a lot of the pics. She told her mom that Andrew is her best friend and she loves on him the whole time he is there and loves to pet his soft little head. I'm so glad that he has a fun place to go while Mom is at work.



Laura even captured one of his rare moments of sleeping. He looks so peaceful I wish he would do this more often. :-)
