We had a really fun Easter weekend. We might argue it was the BEST Easter EVER. Aunt Liz, Uncle Scott, Sergei & Sasha came up to celebrate with us. Amelia and Zoë were so excited they were here and Amelia in particular had a lot of fun!

Zoë got passed around a lot and as long as Mommy was in view, she was normally okay with it.

Amelia was adorable in her Easter dress... and she knew it...

There was an Easter egg hunt after the church service and Amelia actually understood it and had fun... they also learned from last year and had an "Under 4" section - she her eggs weren't stolen by crazy 10 year old boys this year...

Sister love!

Happy Easter!

Amelia has had a fantastic Easter weekend:

It started with a fun playdate with her friends - here she is ruling the sandbox.

Climbing trees already... relax anxious family members, Tom is standing right below her holding on to her.

In order to get her into her Easter dress, I had to bribe her with a donut and promise that she could change back into her snowman shirt as soon as we got home (which she remembered and asked for as we pulled back in the driveway...) As you can see, she wasn't happy at first...

But got used to the idea as she sat next to her mom the whale.

These are just too cute!

Birthday Party #2

We celebrated Amelia's birthday at Grammie's house last weekend. She was much more organized than Mommy and Daddy and had a Thomas the Train theme , complete with a tablecloth, cups, plates, and train whistles. AND a Thomas cake. Which we enjoyed until a few days ago when Yoda polished it off for us....

Grammie bought Amelia some bath crayons that made bath time even more fun.

Amelia applies "make up" with her present from Aunt Becky: A purse that was filled with a cell phone, keys, sunglasses, and make-up.

The Thomas spread...

The new sunglasses...

More Birthday Pics...

Amelia on her birthday at school.

She LOVED when they sang to her - and she enjoyed berry muffins made from scratch by Mommy.

She liked them so much she ate 4 after they came out of the oven. I think they limited her to just one at school, though :)

Having fun outside - again with the tongue... no great shock that she has chapped lips all of the time.

Halloween, Part I

Amelia and Michael on Halloween '08: A pumpkin and her superman

Amelia and Michael Halloween 09: Curious George & his ladybug.

I am loving this chocolate covered strawberry! (mommy liked hers, too!)

I don't like being away from my ookie...even on Halloween.

I am off...

See ya later!!!
Hopefully more Halloween pictures tomorrow...

The reasons behind our lack of blog posts:
1. We lost our camera battery charger. After a few weeks of this nonsense, I (Heidi) bought another one. We took a lot of pictures and when I went to upload them to the computer, we realized that we also...
2. Lost our uploader cord!!!!

Happy Mother's Day!

We had a wonderful Mother's Day this weekend - yesterday Amelia was well cared for by her Aunt Becky and Grammie while Tom and I went to have dinner with friends and then have the night to ourselves at home.

We think that Aunt Becky is finally excited that Amelia is actually interested in her - although she is a little tired after going down a slide with Amelia many, many, many times yesterday afternoon.

A happy Amelia with her aunt.

The only picture of Amelia with her MOTHER on MOTHER'S DAY. Faithful crumthekid readers may recall the not so fun Mother's Day last year when Amelia cried from 1pm - 10pm and Tom and I spent the day passing her back and forth every hour or so. Not too long after this I cut all dairy out of my diet and she stopped being so fussy. Mother's day this year it was a lot more fun to be a mom! :)
