Easter Egg Hunt






We had our church egg hunt yesterday morning. The kids, of course, raked in the goods. Fortunately (and unfortunately), I think they ate ALL the candy yesterday. The good news is that they were with Gary all day while I worked on a presentation and I didn't get my hands on it. You all know of my late night eating habit.

The kids are with me all day long, all week. Prayers are greatly appreciated! :) (for both)

Levee Run




I ran in the Levee Run! We didn't take many pictures, because we were busy running after the kids. We all had a great time. I am proud to say that one year and 3 months after my transplant, I ran a mile in 8 minutes 2 seconds. I could have had several more seconds shaved off if I hadn't ended up behind all the strollers and walkers in the beginning. I will be ready next year!



Wedding pictures






Unfortunately, I didn't get as many pictures as I wanted, because it is hard to do when you are in motion, in pursuit of 3-year olds.

Our Trip to Dallas






Brady and Reese enjoyed the hotel! I hope that the sliding glass closet doors are still in tact, and I am grateful that they still have all their fingers. I should have slipped little notes under all the doors on the floor we stayed on saying, "I'm sorry." Of course, as I have discussed before, it is probably just easier to have a t-shirt made that says, "I'm sorry." I could just wear it everywhere we go.

We were so happy to see Hunter and Ragan, Lesley and Taylor, Nanna and Papa, our grandmothers, and my cousins, aunts, uncles. Chad's wedding was great, and the kids enjoyed dressing up. Brady and Reese were not intimidated at all by the crowd at the reception, but it was a little tough keeping up with them when they were zooming through people like little ants. Brady found the dance floor, and they both enjoyed the decorations a little too much. I wish we could have stayed longer to visit!

Our little dragon






Dragon, dinosaur, alligator . . . He changes is mind every day about what the costume is, but he has worn it 3 days in a row now. I guess it is his own "pretty dress" like Reese has. We went to the aquarium on Saturday and caused quite a commotion with our little dragon. He acted as if he had on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. I think that some people thought we dressed our kids up everywhere we went, because one guy in the elevator said Reese looked like Strawberry Shortcake. That was not our intention. We just cannot get that dress off of her, and well, she does have red hair. Anyway, he also wore it to Joey and Wendy's yesterday. The kids had such a great time, and Merrin is such a happy little girl! I wish I could attach a video of the "happy dance." The girl's got moves. It was a really good weekend.

Picnic at the Park






We took advantage of Gary being off work on Mardi Gras to go to the park. It was a really nice day, and the kids were glad to have daddy home!

Parade






We went to one small parade over Mardi Gras. The kids love the junk, and I am probably never going to get it out of the house. I don't understand why you see adults keeping this stuff for themselves. Where does everyone put it?

Unfortunately, they both got a sword. It doesn't take long to rack up the injuries and tears with that. They also both got things that the other wanted. Reese got a very ugly fake flower, and Brady demolished it within a couple of days . . . tears all over the place. I think she has recovered by now. We got away with only going to one parade, but I don't think that is going to last long!

I think it is more interesting to look at some of the people in the background of the photos! Check out some of the expressions!
