Happy Easter!

We hope everyone had a great Easter.....we sure did. We woke up Sunday morning and Kate looked around for her Easter basket. Well, to be honest she didn't have to look to hard. I'm not sure we would've kept her interest too long if we didn't make it easy on her. After finding her basket and enjoying her gifts we got ready and met the Weiland's at church.

After that, we went back to their house for an Easter lunch and egg scavenger hunt for not only Kate, but for us "kids" as well. My mom set up a great game for us and the adults all had a great time. After that, Kate woke up and had her own little scavenger hunt. A big thanks to Deb for putting it together. Kate had a blast and we sure enjoyed watching her!

Rock & Read Baby!

The past week or so, we've made it a priority to bring Kate into her room before she goes to bed for the night and rock in the glider while we read books. We termed the activity "Rock & Read". It didn't take Kate long to learn the phrase and she's been saying it quite a bit lately.

On Saturday night, Shelly took Kate into her room and the two of them nestled up in the glider, put a blanket over each other and began reading. Without hesitation, Kate looked up at Shelly and blurted out..."ROCK & READ BABY!" We've been laughing about it ever since!

Her vocabulary has grown so much in the past month or two and beyond that, some of the stuff coming out of her mouth is beyond hilarious! That's our Peanut!

Flooring

Last weekend Greg, Laura, Brooke and Charlie Burch came our way for a few days. I was able to "coerce" Greg into giving me a hand tiling the bathroom since he had done it to his bathroom a few years ago. We also tackled the laminate flooring in Kate's new playroom while we were waiting for the leveling compound in the bathroom to dry. Once that dried up, Greg handled the tiling while I finished the laminate flooring. So to be honest, Greg is the one that did all the dirty work. He measured everything, cut the tiles and laid them. All I had to do to finish it was grout. When Saturday evening rolled around I was so thrilled with what we had gotten done.

The whole crew ended up spending the night and it was so nice to have them up for a few days. The kids had a blast together and we got so much done. A huge thanks to Greg for giving up his Saturday and helping us out. We're so appreciative!
