Updates

I'm finding it very difficult to update the blog with two kids! I've learned that there is very little down time with two kids - and I've also realized how much down time I had with just Will. Right now Will is playing with his toys and Lauren is in the swing. I'm finishing up the laundry and I have a quick second to upload some pictures and write a little.

Lauren went to the doctor last week for her 2 month check up. She weighed 10 pounds 8 ounces and she was 22.75 inches long. She is in the 37% for her weight and the 57% for her height. She has gone up in height and down a little in weight. Doctor Hosinski said that Lauren looks perfect and we go back in two months. (Right now Lauren is sick, but she is feeling better. I took her to the doctor yesterday to get her checked out. I was a little worried about an 11 week old baby having a chest cold. They did some blood work and checked her out. She is fine. She did gain 5 ounces, though. We spend an hour and a half in the little doctor's office - that was a TON of fun. I kept wondering if we were a part of some experiment. Stick a sick 11 week old baby, her 34 month old brother, and a sick mommy in a doctor's room for 90 minutes and see what happens!)

We got new floors last week, too. They are great. We got wood laminate floors throughout the downstairs. They are so easy to clean and I just love having the same flooring for all of the first floor. Mom came up to help with the kids during the construction and also to help me put my house back together. It was great to have her help for a week and a half. We really miss her being here, but we're looking forward to seeing mom and dad soon!

I have some great pictures of Will helping our neighbor's with their mulch delivery (something about a boy and a huge pile of mulch!), but the camera's downstairs and I'm just not organized enough to post those yet. I'll try to do it soon.

Easter

We had a great Easter weekend! On Saturday we went to an Easter Egg Hunt at Immanuel Baptist Church with the Stewarts. Unfortunately, we got a cold front and it snowed on Friday night. They had to hold the "hunt" indoors, but the kids still had a great time. Will enjoyed playing indoor golf and getting his face painted.

Saturday night we went to the Easter Service at Church. It was a very touching service - Pastor Jon and his wife Allison have been dealing with death and sickness in their families. His message wasn't a "traditional" Easter message and it really made you think about what is important. Will and Lauren did great in Sunday School.

Sunday morning Will and Lauren woke up to the presents that the Easter Bunny left for them.

We then dyed Easter Eggs and then we went over to Papa John and Diddy's house for Easter lunch. Will and Lauren had a great time and they enjoyed seeing Nonnie, Aunt Morri, and Ms. Tina. We had a great lunch and dessert. Will and Lauren Easter Day.Will looking at his Easter gifts.
