We hope that you all had a great Easter weekend! Ours was filled with family, friends and firsts, but no new baby! Oh well...Isabel will enjoy Easter more next year anyway! On Friday night, Jacklynn proved to us that her ears were feeling so much better by sleeping in 3 different places while we, or shall I say Nic, helped his uncle move...without fussing or seeming to care! It is so nice to have our flexible and content child back! Then she spent the evening with OWO and Gam on Saturday night so mommy and daddy could have a much needed night out with friends! Sunday morning started out with a bang when Jac and I came down to eat breakfast and realized the Easter bunny (Gam AKA Nic's Mom) had left her a HUGE basket of goodies! She thoroughly enjoyed taking each item out and requesting it be opened immediately!
We headed to church and then to the Barn for lunch...with all of Nic's mom's side of the family...and then some! Of course, we had to do a small photo shoot with Jacklynn looking so precious (more pics to come from my good camera!)...
It was a little chilly outside, but she kept wanting to get down and walk around...thank the Lord she loves the outdoors!
These are all the great grandkids (outside of the womb...two more girls on the way!) on this side of the family. Aren't they precious little girls?! Jacklynn(14 mos).Jillian(18 mos).Lauren(18 mos).Sophia(26 mos.).
After lunch, it was time for the Easter egg hunt. This was a big first for Jac. It took her a minute to catch on...at first all she wanted to do was take her eggs back out of the basket to either shake or chew on them, but then she figured out that she should let them be and go find more! She actually caught on really well and definitely enjoyed it!

Opening all the eggs...
It was a really fun day...even with no nap! Jac eventually crashed around 4:30 pm and slept on the couch for awhile. I definitely miss being with my side of the family on holidays like this, but am so thankful for Nic's family...where would I be without them?!

Thanks for the post on our blog. don't you love blogging? It keeps you so connected! We were so glad to hang out at the party barn yesterday. It had been a while since we've all been together, so we enjoyed the family time.
Good luck in the next weeks as you get ready for the baby to arrive. We'll pray for you! I'll put a link to your blog on our blog and check back for pics of the baby!

Great pictures and the one of you and Nick and Jackie is really really good or you guys. Jackie just looks so much happier in all her pictures. She was even the only smiling for the "girls" pictures. So cute!! She is a beautiful little girl.
