First Bath together!

Rachel and Anna had thier first bath together a few days ago...it worked really well with Anna in the baby bathtub inside of the big bathtub! They had a lot of fun playing together!

Foreshadowing things to come!

Daddy is the best!

Thanks, Grandma

Shovel some food into Anna's mouth and you will be her new best friend. This loves to eat and can put away some food. So far she likes just about everything...the plain yogurt is a little sour for her but just add some mashed banana and voila...a yummy lunch! Her little smile says is all...thanks for feeding me, Grandma!

Easter Birthday Party

Rachel had a very small party the day before Easter with just a few of her friends. It was such a fun time and because her birthday (the 20th) fell so close to Easter this year I decided to do an Easter Egg party. So, we colored Easter eggs and had a Easter Egg hunt afterwards. It went so well. This is the first time we have colored eggs with Rachel and we'll definately do it again next year...it was a lot of fun!

Easter Egg Hunt

The Friday before Easter I decided to take Rachel to her first Easter egg hunt. It was the Town of Cary Easter egg hunt and although my neighbor had warned me it was crazy...I had no idea! What should have taken me 5 mintues to get there took 20 minutes to just get to the park and and park my car. Then we had to walk 1/2 a mile to get to the correct field for her age group -and by the time I got there, the egg hunt for her age group had ended so I let her go to the field close by (didn't want to miss out after the ordeal to actually get there!). Well, it was more of a run and grab as many eggs as you can type of thing rather than a hunt. They just scatter eggs all over a baseball field! Rachel seems a bit disappointed in this picture. Not sure we'll be doing this "hunt" again next year!

Cupcakes this way!

On Rachel's birthday we had our neighborhood friends over for cupcakes! Many of our afternoons are spent playing outside with our neighbors in the cul-de-sac.
