Happy Easter

pictures to come... I can't find my camera cord!

Easter morning The Easter Bunny hopped by 6174 Fawnlake Court. Wyatt was ecstatic to find a trail of Easter eggs leading from his room all the way down to his Easter basket complete with a Thomas the Train remote control engine! Ava was happy too, she got her very own Sophie. Nothin' says happy teething baby like soft rubber giraffes that squeak.

Easter carries with it a personal significance for John and I. Three years ago on Easter Sunday we found out we were pregnant with Wyatt. Fast forward to this year and here we are, rushing to get to church on time with two beautiful babies. God had us wait a long time for this, and now that we have our complete family I couldn't be more thankful.

We used this Sunday to officially re-join Hickory Neck Church. Now that we live in New Kent it is only a 25 minute drive back to the church I grew up in, we were married in, Wyatt was baptized in and on June 6th Ava will be baptized there too!

After church Marnier and Grady joined us for brunch at home - we made deviled eggs, croissant wrapped chicken salad shaped like carrots, ham biscuits and mimosas. YUMMMM! Wyatt had an Easter Egg hunt in the living room since it was pouring rain outside. With all the Easter candy and excitement Wyatt started bouncing off the walls. So that evening the Lil'Man went outside in his rain boots, jacket and beanie to SPLISH, SPLASH, SPLOSH in every puddle he could find. What a way to burn some energy.

All in all, our Easter was just what it should have been... Church, Family and Easter Eggs!

And the Work Continues...

Well I was holding this until I had pictures but now a month later and I still can't find the camera cord! So I'll add them later :)

After two and a half months of waiting our yard is FINALLY getting done! When we closed on our house the weather had been really bad, rain coupled with snow making for a sloppy mess around our new place. We agreed with the contractor that we'd wait until the lot dried out to do the yard.

Now here is the lesson learned: DO NOT move in to a house and pay the man until the job is 100% finished! 

The yard was suppose to be done in March and now here we are in the middle of April. The contractor is getting it done... but when the check has already been paid your place on the priority list falls down the list pretty fast!

Unfortunalty for John the week they've decided to roll in with dump trucks is his week on Night Shift. So besides the lack of sleep, we are so happy this is happening.
