Easter

Springtime is an emotional time of year for me. The past few years have been completely life-changing in many ways, and for some reason everything has happened during this season (the births of our sons, tornado, miscarriages, etc.) I was home alone (well, the boys were asleep, and Ethan was gone) the night before Easter, and the movie The Ten Commandments came on. I had a complete meltdown because last year at this time we were sitting in the hospital watching this movie, waiting to find out if our baby was okay (which he/she wasn't.) I was upset because I feel like I'll always associate Easter (and that movie) with the loss of our baby. Our other baby we lost on March 20th, so those couple weeks can be hard. My only hope is that I will never take for granted the children that I have here on earth and will recognize the many blessings in them.

In other more positive news, we went to Tiernan's two year Dr. appt. and he now weighs 30 lbs. (75%) and is 36 1/2 in. long (92%.) We celebrated Easter this past weekend by first going to the town Easter Egg Hunt (what an adventure!) and on Sunday went out to the farm.

Tiernan LOVES going out to the farm. We looked at all the equipment-all he could say was "WOW, WOW, WOW!" He even got to sit in the new tractor.

Egg hunt at Grandma and Grandpa's house. He wasn't too excited about it-just picked up a few eggs and then wanted to look at the loader and the sheep.


On the Saturday before Easter, we went the Town of Windsor Easter Egg Hunt. It took literally one minute to complete, so we spent another few minutes on the playground, but it was way too crowded!

He didn't quite understand what the fuss was all about. I was a little concerned we were going to get run over (by the parents, that is!)

He finally got it figured out-just in time for all the eggs to be gone!
