Happy Easter....a little late....

We got some pictures of Jackson on Easter but none of Audrey. She was only in her little dress for an hour. I hate that I didn't get a picture of both of them together on Sunday but when we got home from church, Audrey was hungry and Jackson was exhausted. I promptly fed her and Jackson went down for a nap.

Little man, right before going to bed (with the love his life, his paci)


He chews more on his paci than anything else


Tired stare


Mom & Dad kept Jackson last Saturday so that we could paint Jackson's room blue. It was green when we moved in. We wanted to do it last year but we got pregnant with Audrey, fatigue set in and we never accomplished it until now.

After I got done painting, I started snapping some quick pix of Audrey smiling. She's such a smiling thang....let me tell you. Jackson was never like this so Dan and I are enjoying every minute of it. Here are just a few of the pictures:






Finally got a serious picture from her...


The weather is starting to get warm again around here. Subsequently, Jackson and I have been playing outside alot. Audrey mainly just sleeps outside in her carseat while I read a book in the sun (and Jackson plays) or she sleeps inside and I keep the monitor outside with us. Jackson has been playing on his little 4-wheeler that we got him for Christmas. He loves it. Can't figure out how to steer it so he hits the fence, trees, bricks....generally everything. We tried showing him how to steer it but he hasn't grasped that concept yet. So, we just have to constantly keep running after him to turn him around. I took a video the other day of him and will post it later on. He loves to drive in Daddy's garden, over all the bumpy dirt piles and such. You'd think a little toy 4-wheeler wouldn't be able to go over top of it but it sure does!

Dan has been flying and trying to get our lawn looking a lot better. He had Friday and Monday off. He spent the entire day Monday trying to get it fertilized and such. I would elaborate more on it but I have no idea what I am talking about...

Work is going well for me. It's been busy, which I like because it makes the day pass by much quicker. I was pumping at work to provide milk for Audrey at the daycare provider's but it's been way too stressful so I decided to let those pumping sessions go. I've still been able to nurse her at 4AM, 8AM, and as soon as I get home until she goes to bed. It was a tough decision but it makes my life a little less stressful at work (trying to find 10 minutes 3-5 times a day was getting very difficult). I'm all about less stress nowadays too!

We had a fox in our neighborhood yesterday. I was coming back from the pharmacy and to my surprise, there is a fox running along the sidewalk. There were multiple people outside, trying to keep it confined to an area. My guess (and Dad's too) is that it was rabid because foxes usually don't come into a populated area in the daytime. I tried to call Chesapeake Animal Control, to no avail. I called 911 and prefaced my call with the fact that it was no emergency but I couldn't contact animal control. Someone had already called it in and she thanked me for calling. I guess someone came and picked it up because all the people had cleared out from the area where they had him confined. I'd like to find out if he was rabid or not. It scares me, as we leave our garage door open in the evenings and an animal definitely could get in there. This taught me a lesson to keep that door closed.

Will post the video of Jackson soon....

Hope everyone is doing well and had a wonderful Easter!
