Easter 2015

This past weekend has been very busy. John and I both took Friday off, and we we headed to Mankato for Easter. We hung out with Rachel on Friday, and then spent the night and had Easter with the entire family on Saturday.

It ended up being a beautiful day on Saturday, so we spent most of the day visiting out on the deck and even got in some bean bag games. It was really nice to see everyone and the kids had a blast with all the attention and playing.

We headed back Saturday evening, and we spent Easter Sunday at home. It ended up being another very nice day, so we spent a lot of the day outside playing. We blew bubbles, played sidewalk chalk, played in the sandbox, and we even painted a birdhouse that Emma got from the Easter bunny.

Emma had such a fun weekend. Her and Jenna were two peas in a pod again, but Emma also had fun with Trevor, Cody, and Kyle. They were pretty cute with her. She also really enjoyed her aunt and uncle time with Rachel and Ryan. She ran around and played hard all day long. But, amazingly, she basically put herself to bed for a nap, and she slept for about 2 hours. I guess she was tired!

Elliott did really well with all the commotion. Unfortunately, he has another cold. He's not as bad as he was with his first cold, but he is snotty, and coughs at night, and pukes up phlegm along with some of his bottle. So, it's fun times at our house again. We are giving nebs and sucking out his nose like crazy again. But, he is still in a good mood and smiling all the time and talking too. He found his voice, and he loves to use it.

After a quick weekend, it's back to work again today. I work call today and tomorrow, and I work the weekend. So, yay. And, it's supposed to be rainy and cold all week. Boo.

Hope everyone had a great Easter, and have a wonderful week :)
