Mmmmm... chocolate.

Another easter at Uncle Phil and Auntie Ellen's. Visiting was great. Food was delicious. The easter egg hunt... becoming legendary. Every year it is just so much fun seeing the the kids tear through the greenhouses piling the pails full of chocolate goodies. The easter bunny is always generous.

Our camera is on the blitz (again) but we did manage to get at least one photo.



Anita finds her first plastic easter egg to chew on. She is a little young for chocolate yet but Matthew and I managed to get some chocolate goodness for ourselves.

I hope everyone had a great weekend. Hugs and Kisses from Anita.

Anita's first baby cereal & sleepover (sorta)

Yesterday Anita had her first taste of food (unless you count the time Matthew you gave her some mash potatoes and she made lost of gagging sounds and ucky faces).

She did really well eating up her rice cereal. She had approximately 10 very small spoonfuls. More than I expected for sure. This morning she was less attentive and only had 3 small spoonfuls.




The first picture I took yesterday caught her by surprise because of the flash. Matthew and I had a good laugh when we looked at this photo last night. She is going to hate me when she is older for posting this one. Hehe.



Ah... now here is the pretty happy baby....

Oh and I meant to post this earlier but I forgot until now. Anita had a playmate come over for a visit on Saturday night. Danielle and Conrad's son, Espen, came over to play. They were quite taken with each other but as time rolled on Anita got a little jealous. Especially in the evening when I was attempting to put them both down to sleep. on that note, I am SO glad I didn't have twins. I would get one down and in sleep mode and the other would give a holler or cry and they were both up again. I finally had to get Matthew to bring Anita downstairs until Epsen was asleep and then I was able to get her to sleep too.

Here is a picture of Anita and Espen playing:

It's a Girl! Congratulations Ruth and Matt!

We just got the news that Ruth and Matt's baby arrived this morning. She was a big girl just like cousin Anita weighing in at 9 lbs 14ozs!

Congratulations! We are so happy for you. Can't wait to see some pictures and hear the official word on her name.

Love, Matthew, Barbara and Anita
