happy easter!

easter egg hunt at Rowan's house ...

#1 ~ Eli driving us there ... bye-bye!

#2 ~ Eli, Rowan, and J. Eli wasn't quite sure what to make of the hunt -- he liked it but didn't know what he was looking for or why. Rowan knew though, and pushed right through and filled his basket!

#3 ~ Eli found an egg!

#4 ~ Eli and all the kids at the party. They were so cute!

#5 ~ Eli's friends Rowan and Anna with Rowan's birthday cake. Happy birthday Rowan!

#6 ~ Anna and her mom, our friend Susan

#7 ~ balloons!

#8 ~ finally, a whole team to play basketball ...

#9 ~ that was a fun day! Full of cake and no nap, starting to get pretty tired here ... good thing I have Grandma Song's bunny to snuggle with ...

say cheese!

#1 ~ pretending to drive in the easter box sent by grandma and grandpa green and pretending to call them at the same time!

#2 ~ So you can tell that Eli knows how to pose for a picture now. Here he was saying "cheeeeese!" And he's holding a new present from dad -- his own flashlight

#3 ~ another "say cheese" moment -- wearing a birthday hat from school that day

#4 ~ eating breakfast at his own table and chair which we've been staining and sanding for days now.

#5 ~ We went to the zoo to see the baby elephant. This is just practicing with the statue but the real thing was pretty neat too!

#6 ~ playing around the house, Eli wanted to wear dad's shirt. Looking good!

#7 ~ wearing moms hat is fun ...

#8 ~ potty training is going good. Every time he is successful, he gets a mini-marshmallow, which he calls "ma-moosh" and also gets a sticker. Here's his collection ...
