This year has already been a interesting, with Jamie getting sick, our lives have had a bit of a shift and I have been so fortunate to have more nephew time. Here are a few of my favorite pics from the last few weeks. These two are absolutely exciting to be around. One minute they are fighting like cats and dogs (gnashing of teeth, hair pulling, head butting, etc.) and the next they are super lovey and can't be separated. You NEVER know what you will get from them.
Easter brought their first memorable egg hunts which were OH SO LOVED. In fact, we hunted eggs for hours this weekend and Monday morning as I woke Maggie to go to Nanny's in my usual fashion of "Hey baby, are you ready to go to Nanny's?" She responded with a groggy, "Are we hunting more eggs?" At first I said "No" but so as not to crash her hopes I quickly changed it to a "Not that I know of, but if you ask Nanny nicely she may hide them for you." This girl was quite competitive and really liked finding the truly hidden eggs.
Here are a some of my favorite pics: (WARNING There are a LOT!)
Taken Easter Sunday after the last of MANY egg hunt's.

Taken outside our house on one of the first true Springlike days.
My little model. Seriously though, doesn't she look like an ad girl?
Dragging Poppy along to be her holder/keeper of her Easter Egg's at the church egg hunt. So happy he and Grammy live close enough to catch some of these special occasions with our great big crazy family.
A little Good Friday Easter Egg Hunt, for practice of course.
One of my favorite, non-looking, pictures. Totally her, distracted by the surroundings but somewhat focused on the task at hand.
On our way to Nanny's for a little late night egg dying, Maggie said first you get some water, then you put the dye in it, then you put the egg on a spoon and lower it into the dye. I politely asked D if he had taught her how we would dye eggs to which I got a resounding NO. Puzzled at the in depth knowledge of the process, I asked her where she learned how to dye eggs and she answered OSO. She loves that crazy Disney Jr. Bear! There have been weeks on end where she begged Nanny all day to watch him.
Easter Sunday they were both being Terribly Two. We decided to forego the picnic we had planned and instead focus on sneaking in a nap for both to get them ready for the last egg hunt of the day.
By the way, I hope you enjoy these pics and I hope to start blogging more frequently. I have been making small life changes and really want to get back to this for many reasons, the two biggest being to keep in touch with family and to chronicle the life of our precious little girl!
