Cookies for daddy

Daddy comes home today from a conference so Paul and I made some cookies for him... of course we had to test them first (while sitting in daddy's chair!).

Playing with Kaitlyn

This morning Kaitlyn was especially playful (and of course is sleeping again- no complaints from me!). She's really been enjoying her playmat and this chair with hanging toys recently. At times it seems like she's trying to talk with some of the critters hanging in the picture. She's also smiling a whole lot and even gave me a big grin at 4:40am this morning when she was up for a late night (or early morning?) snack- she already knows how to butter up mom.
She was also smiling a lot last night sitting with me in her boppy while we reclined on the couch. I was making funny faces to get her to smile while holding up the camera... clearly there isn't a smile in the picture but I thought that it turned out quite funny anyway.

Little Paul at the Aspers Masters

On Sunday afternoon little Paul and I played golf around the house while daddy watched the Masters... and he had his plaid pants on from Easter as appropriate attire.

Easter in NJ

We had a great trip to see Nana, PopPop, Uncle Chris and Uncle Ryan this weekend in NJ. Everyone was a good traveler (whew!) and we got home safely Sunday afternoon to finish watching the Masters.Paul enjoyed many Easter egg hunts, both inside and out. There was a trail of eggs from his room to his easter basket on Sunday morning, although he picked up whatever eggs he saw first!
There was also a fair amount of "uncle torture"- Uncle Ryan was rolled across the front yard at one point.We even got to spend a special Easter dinner with Aunt Mary Ellen, Uncle Bill, Katherine and Megan.

Fun with Uncle Ryan

The end of the weekend was spent by daddy and Uncle Ryan planting the previously mentioned forsythia as well as 20 white pine seedlings on the top of the hill behind our house (we are incredibly greatful for Ryan's help!). No sooner had Uncle Ryan finished working in the yard than his little buddy HAD to play with him.
