Last Post on Easter- I Promise!

I just had to share these two pictures with you, because they are classic.  I promise you this is exactly the order that they were taken in.  First Elijah was clearly, unsure of the Easter Bunny and then, he warmed right up to him.  That's my boy!

Lucas and Daddy

Just some pictures of Lucas and Aaron from a few weeks ago.  Lucas is 3 weeks old here (taken 3/21/13).

Lucas and Daddy

Such a sweet picture. Lucas Lying on Daddy, completely content.

Fun on the play mat

P.S. There will be posts for the next two days!  So check back at 12:00 pm PDT for your daily fix...at least for the next two days!

First Bath

We gave Lucas his first bath a couple of weeks ago.  Let me just say, with our new baby bath tub, and two years of practice under our belts, this bath went much better than Elijah's first and subsequent second bath!
Seriously, we are old hands at this baby bathing thing, and much more confident. Though I must say confidence in child handling/rearing is one thing that Aaron does NOT lack. I of course handed him the reins again, as I DO indeed, lack the confidence to bathe a newborn baby...though I did do it myself about a week later when I was forced to (Aaron was away, and the baby had "lost his lunch" so....).
Ok enough of that, please see for yourself the GREAT BATHING ADVENTURE!

There is something special about this picture.   Can you find it?
 If so, leave your finding in the comment section!

Newborn Photo's Untouched

My favorite!

We were supposed to have our professional photo shoot done this week, like we had with Elijah when he was 4 weeks old, but unfortunately my photographer got sick and couldn't shoot this week, and she was booked for next week so we decided to scrap the shoot and take some family pictures with her later in the year.  That opened the door for me to take a little artistic license and create our own little photo shoot for Lucas.
We have great natural light in our bedroom, so I figured that would be a good place to do the shoot. I cranked up the heat to 80 degrees, opened the blinds and blanketed the bed in new white sheets (I even ironed them!).  Here are a couple of shots from our little shoot.  I will post all the shots somewhere (any suggestions?) so that you can see them all.  I also will be trying to figure out how to touch them up so that they look more professional and will then be sending out birth announcements.
*Note there may be more pictures coming on this subject, as I would like to take some of him au natural, but I wasn't feeling particularly eager to shoot a baby in that state with the guarantee that he would pee....on my bed... so...well... actually...maybe I won't be taking those shots...i guess it will remain to be seen. ;)
Oh and GRAM! These should print really well for you!  Let me know if you have any trouble with the quality and I will email them to you.  Love you!!!!!

THE END...

A Little More Easter Before it gets too Late

We had a great Easter this year.  Elijah is finally old enough to understand (a little bit) about dying eggs and then hunting for eggs.  He is 5 months older than his cousin Lizzy, and even though they are boarding 2, the age where months between ages seem to start to diapear; it was apparent that he got the whole "Easter Egg Hunt" a lot quicker than Lizzy.  But Lizzy did catch on and they were off!
It was so neat to watch them, and encourage them to find eggs.  We have some pictures below of the "Dye Job" and the "Hunt" and I believe even a little video.
Hope you all had a wonderful Easter too.  We love and miss all of you!

Our Gentle boy did such a great job "gently" putting the egg in the cup

"cheese!"  Elijah and Lizzy at work

Mommy's addition to the egg decorating! (come on! I had to dye a couple too!!)

Elijah and Eddy (Elizabeth's Cousin) on the hunt!

Lizzy looking for her next find (she quickly found out there was candy inside so wanted to open each one as she went)

"I found one!"

UT OH! Stealing eggs - Little thief!

"CHEEEZZZEEEE" Elijah and his basket full of eggs!


Here is a video of Elijah on the Easter Egg Hunt. I wish you could hear him say "egg's" it  sounds like "E-CKS" it's so cute!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!
