Hop hop hop!

Caroline sure enjoyed her first ever Easter egg hunt!  James, Amanda and Olivia hosted again this year and the Easter bunny hid a TON of eggs for the two girls (and Rhys) to find.  

C was pretty good on her own, but we did have to show her what to do so she could score some loot before the master hunter Olivia got them all.  Nana Lu was an especially good guide.

Rhys is very easy to photograph these days!  Hehe.

When the baskets were full we all went back inside to check out the loot, including the baskets from the bunny that went to the Nanas' house.

Break for cousin hug time!

Finally, we finished the morning with a piñata smash (I crafted!!) and some cupcakes.  Yummy.

Uncle E wanted to see the belly.  So with fists full of frosting, Caroline obliged.

Happy Easter to all!

Thanks Auntina for the shamrock tutu!

Big sisters

So not only will Caroline be a big sister come late summer, Megan will too in early Fall!  Megan announced her news on her chest.

Caroline just wanted to do what Megan did so she had to sit in the chair. ("Chair" being one of C's most favorite words these days.)

I tried to snap some pics of the girls together as well.  Not too successful.  Toddlers...

Then they were off.

I leave you with...the belly.

Megan is two!

Megan Yost, who we share Daiane with, turned two last week!  It is a photographable moment.

Some from our weekend.

Out and about at Home Depot, trying raisins for the first time, and enjoying a traditional Irish breakfast for lunch!

Wheeee!

So this is happening

Due around the end of July. Since this is likely the last we will see of inside baby before birth, I figure there is no better time than now to share. Outside baby has not a clue.

Airplane!!

Right there!

Did you see it?

How Caroline helps

Getting any organization done with a toddler is just counterproductive.  In our house there is a lot of sitting in vessels.  For example, crafting supplies:

Caroline is wearing a Freeman special there.  She wanted to put on that rashguard soooo badly.  So we did.  Funny girl.

Sometimes we fold clothing:

And finally, installation of a fun magnet wall.  Hard to drill holes with tiny dancer on top!

I eventually got that done though!  The girls seem to like it.
