Good Friday, Great Sunday
Hi again everybody sorry for the delay, but I admit something came up that kind of took the wind out of my sails enough that I found it difficult to find time to update the blog. More about that in a future entry, probably the next one.
Easter was very special this year for many reasons. For one thing, Grandpa Dave and Grandma Marcia joined us for the holiday, and also it was Ian’s first Easter Egg Hunt!! I had a buddy of mine tell me that he didn’t think his two year old would actively hunt for eggs, but as it turned out, his son proved him wrong; but so did mine! Fourteen month old Ian was an egg hunting machine!
A big thanks to Grandma Marcia for sharing in the culinary responsibilities, as well as to Grandpa Dave for fixing our snow blower that’s been half-broken for so many months! I want to also thank everybody for their cards and gifts! And now onto the photo section!
This picture says it all really, doesn’t it? We had an egg hunt, we all had a blast and laughed our butts off, and Ian shared his prizes with everybody! See this image larger.
Here’s some eggs Ian! See this image larger.
Hey there’s a bunny and an egg up there on the thermostat, Ian! See this image larger.
Grandpa Dave was Ian’s go to guy, for this holiday. Here’s how it worked… first, Ian would hand the egg to Grandpa Dave. See this image larger.

… revealing surprises inside! Place in mouff… (We stuffed the plastic easter eggs with puffs, the easily digested baby snack…. which worked well! That was Melissa’s idea, go Mama!)See this image larger.
“Nom, nom, nom nom…” See this image larger.
“Bunny!” See this image larger.
Looks like somebody’s pretty happy! “Thanks Guys!” See this image larger.
I bought these for a hilarious Easter Bunny Ian picture. He didn’t like them so good… maybe next year. 😉 See this image larger.
Ian’s foot rests on Mama’s knee during the feeding process. He does this with both of us as his legs can’t quite reach the built-in foot rest yet. See this image larger.
Ian works the flaps in a hide-n’-go seek book. See this image larger.
If it looks like I’m about to throw Ian, that’s about half right. I hoist him above my head to pet the stuffed-animal cat that balances on a wall between our living room and kitchen. See this image larger.
As I said, a good time was had by all! See this image larger.
And these people ate like kings for the next three days… thanks to awesome leftovers! See this image larger.
