Easter

We wish you all a Blessed Easter!

This year Easter seemed very strange. We had asked the doctors at clinic last week if we could go to Mass but unfortunately the answer is still no, and especially not at Easter where it's usually more crowded. It's sad that we have so very much to celebrate this year but we're not able to do so. We did enjoy celebrating some of the more secular aspects of Easter.


Olivia and Peter decorated easter eggs. I can honestly say that I helped them each equally. Peter enjoyed our little craft activity so much that we will definitely have to do more of these sorts of things.







The easter bunny did visit our house and left plenty of eggs for the kids to find. I didn't have any expectations for how much or how little Olivia would be interested in the easter egg hunt so I was very presently surprised. Olivia did pick up a few eggs and put them in her basket. Peter also had a blast finding the eggs and putting them into her basket. We had brunch with some friends from Washington who just were transferred here to Ft. Bragg. Ft. Bragg is such a large place, we're really excited to have some other people here that we know.

I took so many egg hunt pictures that I had a really hard time deciding on my favorites so I just made a smilebox show. Enjoy.....

Step into a Slim Jim

A couple of weeks ago Olivia's doctor suggested that we try giving her a Slim Jim as a snack. We had been taking about Olivia's recent obsession with chewing things. The doctor suggested that we try a slim jim as it would give her something to chew on and it would give her some extra calories. We have tried it and Olivia seems to love Slim Jim's. Funny I've still never in my life tasted one. It doesn't appeal to me at all but she seems to enjoy it. Although she doesn't seem to understand why I'd want to take a picture of her trying to enjoy her snack.

One year, 4 months, and 21 days

Today I looked at Peter and I couldn't find a trace of the little baby who was born one year, 4 months, and 21 days ago. He's 100% toddler, he's all boy, no more baby. It's bittersweet, I miss my little baby but I'm so excited to watch him grow and learn things.

Day +252

Everyone at clinic today commented on how great Olivia looked. I took these pictures with my cell phone, she did look adorable, I just wish I'd gotten a beter pictures. Our visit to clnic was a little anticlimatic, her regular doctor is doing his inpatient rotation upon 5200 and our nurse practicioner is out of town. There are not any major chages we are continuing to decrease one of her steroids and I hope that it continues to lead to an increase in her attention span.
