Easter Weekend

We had a very exciting Easter weekend. Washington ended up with some amazing weather and we spent the whole weekend outside in some form or another. For Easter the Easter bunny left a trail of eggs for Callie to follow to find her hidden Easter basket then we headed out to church.
From church we headed down to my parents house to enjoy some amazing sunshine.
Look mom! The Easter bunny brought me new sunglasses and a camera! It's what I always wanted! (and yes, she is wearing Santa pajamas)

We got a quick family shot in before we got dirty!

And we attempted a Callie shot - we thought putting her next to the flowers would be a pretty picture, instead they ended up just being a massive distraction! O well

While Callie was napping we filled a couple (pretty big understatement) eggs and hid them out in the yard! I think Grandpa will be finding them for the next year. There were A LOT of eggs.

Waking up from naps and cuddling with Grandma

Bubbles were by far a highlight of the day

Hunting for eggs - her Easter shoes didn't last very long - ha! Went back to our old croc standbys

Maya and Bennett searching for the eggs! They did a good job leaving some for their younger cousins

Overall, this is a very successful cousin shot - we are just happy if they are all sitting next to each other and not crying....we will work on looking at the camera another time!

More egg hunting

Playing with the giant balls outside

Being able to blow the bubbles by herself was a highlight for Callie - she opted out of the dying of eggs and other activities just to blow more bubbles

Rolling and Reading

Callie rolls ALL over the place!!! One of her favorite places to end up is her bookshelf. Look what I found! As a side note, it looks like one of our cats is finally accepting that Callie is part of the family (or atleast, she isn't going anywhere) and has become very tolerant of her. She lets Callie "pet" her and will even walk up to Callie (which, if you know this cat, is VERY unusual - there are some people who still have never seen her). The other day when I was getting Callie from her nap this was outside her door. Apparently the cat loves Callie enough to bring her toys.

Another Plane Ride

So, Callie and I spent my spring break in Pennsylvania. It was a wonderful trip and Callie just LOVED being spoiled by all her aunts and uncles, cousins, and grandmas! (she was a bit in shock when we came back home and she was stuck with just mom and dad - she also took a two hour nap the day we got back, which she has never, never (and probably never will again) done, traveling sure is exhausting!). I was a bit nervous about the very long plane ride, but besides not eating at all, Callie did fabulous! Although, she never really did understand why she couldn't grab the people sitting next to us or in front of us. Even though she got sick on the way back, she was still a wonderful traveler. She loved sitting with Grandma and looking out the plane window (yuck!). We met Grandma in Chicago - at that point in time both Grandma and Callie needed a snuggle, so they spent part of our layover cuddling up in the airport. (sorry, I took these with my cell phone) Looking out the ...

Complete and Total Exhaustion

So, Callie has come down with a case of croup (good ol'daycare) and we had a VERY rough night on Sunday. She was up every 20 mins - hour coughing. Luckily Preston was home and we took turns with her - eventually I ended up sleeping with her in the chair (although she still woke up coughing every hour) because I didn't have to work on Monday. Needless to say, we were not a very exciting family Monday night. We were all in bed by 8 and Callie continued to get up a bit but not nearly as much as the night before. The last time I went in to see her was about 11 - the next thing I knew it was time for me to get up for work. When Preston got up, I made the comment "she slept better than on Sunday" and he just looked at me and laughed. Apparently, she got up a bunch in the middle in the night and I was just too exhausted to realize it. He said I was so out of it that one time I told him it was the rain, not Callie crying.....I'm going to choose my version of the story and...
