Candy Eggs

Here's a sneak peak of our birth announcement - we had a lot of fun with candy eggs and had more fun eating them when we were finished. Abby and Olivia tried to sneak a bite too.

We've had another good day today and have been enjoying and appreciating some Grammy time with Grandma Mary visiting. Abby loves having Grammy around and I appreciate having some extra help with two little girls now that Steve is back to work. We even got our playroom floor mopped and swept. It is so nice having extra hands around, especially hands that Abby loves to be with.

Olivia is picking up weight (according to the Nintendo Wii) and she is starting to sleep a little better. I still end up having to let her hold onto my finger a few times during the night, but considering the fact that she sleeps for about 3 hours at a stretch right now I don't mind a few extra minutes of hand holding to get her to sleep soundly.

A Wonderful Weekend

We made it home last night after a wonderful weekend visiting family and friends in Hastings. Abby had some great birthday parties (3 of them) and enjoyed her first Easter egg hunt. We have lots and lots of pictures, which are going to be posted on our flickr site, since it is much faster than posting them here. Here's one of the pictures of Abby eating her second birthday cake. She mostly just picked the M&M's off the bunny's bow tie.

Abby got fun gifts and we got a new baby horse. She still needs a name, but we are pretty sure she is the most beautiful horse we've ever had!

I Want Candy!

Abby has discovered candy canes and would really like to figure out how to get the wrapper off them. Today we babysat Bailey and Katelyn again and Abby was really enthralled with them. She loves watching bigger kids.

We decided to wait until Saturday to go and get a tree the old fashioned way - cutting it down at the tree farm. Now we just have to hope that the 12 to 24 inches of snow that are forecasted for tonight and tomorrow doesn't bury all the trees!
