Happy Easter

Happy Easter!  We started our day by celebrating Easter with our boys at home.  We opened Easter baskets and hunted for Easter eggs.

Then we had a light breakfast and headed over to Mimi and Pa's.





Carter put stickers on us and called us a "clown family"

Future Blonde

Jacob has started losing his hair. When I looked at it in the sunlight today, it looked like it's coming back in blonde. What do you think?

Park Fun

Today Ben and I took the boys to the park for some family fun.  I carried Jacob in the carrier while Ben and Carter fed the ducks.

Jacob Smiles

Nothing melts your heart like the first time your baby smiles at you.  Jacob has been smiling since he was 6 weeks old and I've been trying to capture it on camera ever since. My camera was never close by and by them time I grabbed it, he wasn't smiling anymore. This went on for a while until I finally captured his smile. The first smile I was able to capture was while we were waiting in the grocery store check-out line and the second smile was during a midnight feeding.
