Bluebonnets

One of the things I missed the most during the years I did not live in Texas were the bluebonnets in the Spring. My sister-in-law, Lindsey, would always send me a bluebonnet in the mail while I was away. This year the bluebonnets are beautiful. I tried to get a picture of Ethan and Eliana together but it was not happening, nor could I get Ethan to look at the camera ;-). I got some great pictures nevertheless.

Cousins

Ethan and Eliana love spending time with their cousins. We spent Easter weekend at Blake and Lindsey's house so Ethan got to play lots with them. I got some cute pictures of Russell and Syndey and wanted to share them. I love my nephew and niece and I am so glad my kids get to spend so much time with them.

Easter

We spent Easter with my family in Waco. Eliana looked adorable in her little Easter dress and Ethan had fun playing with his cousins. Ethan hunted Easter eggs for the first time. He really did not care much about hunting eggs. He wanted to play instead.

Ethan and his Papaw

We spent the majority of the past week in Waco for my grandmother's funeral and Easter. Ethan got to spend lots of time with his Papaw. Ethan absolutely idolizes his Papaw. One day while we were in Waco we had the chance to spend the afternoon at Papaw and Dadoo's land in Jonesboro. Ethan went non-stop from the time we got there to the time we left. He had a blast from throwing rocks, feeding the catfish, riding in the range rider (I think that is what it is called), and getting to help drive the backhoe with Papaw. He did not want to leave when it was time to go, but within minutes he was sound asleep covered in dirt and very happy. It was a perfect day for my little boy!

Pretty in Pink

Eliana and I attended Chass' bridal shower two Saturdays ago. Eliana had fun playing with three other little girls who were at the shower. One of them, Marlee, is the daughter of a good friend of mine from high school. It was neat to see our daughters together. The little girls were the hit of the shower, besides Chass of course!

Everything goes into the mouth these days

My sweet daughter looking so pretty!

Catching up...

The past few weeks have been busy ones (more posts to follow) and I have not had a chance to post Eliana's weekly pics. Here they are for those of you who look forward to seeing how my baby girl grows from week to week ;-)! I can tell you one thing for certain. These weeks are going by so fast.
