Reese Birthday Party



Saturday, April 26, we celebrated Reese 3rd birthday at Freeman Lake. The theme was Dora and there were lots of little girls. Gehrig was a little shy being around all those girls, but Mason got him into the groove. He enjoyed playing with Mason a lot. The weather was beautiful and it was nice to visit with the family.

Easter





On Saturday, we kept telling Gehrig the Easter bunny would come to see him. He kept telling us "no" Easter bunny! When Sunday morning came, we told him the Easter bunny had come and left him a special basket. He didn't really understand but was excited to receive the movie "Incredibles"!

This year, our family went to my family church, Harned United Methodist and then had spent the afternoon with my parents. I am in the process of transferring my membership to Elizabethtown, so I did the scripture reading this Sunday as my private good-bye to the church I have been a member of for 43 years! This is a big step for me and a very emotional one, too.

Gehrig is really growing up and developing his own style. He has decided that he doesn't like the "cute" clothes that mommy does. It was battle, but he finally settled in to wearing the outfit I had bought for him to wear for Easter.

Gehrig enjoyed seeing his cousins, Joey, Jill and Adam and especially liked watching a baseball movie with Gramps. He was a little nervous about seeing him as Gehrig didn't like seeing Gramps in the hospital last week. Once he realized that Gramps is okay now, he was just fine. We had an enjoyable Easter visit!

Easter Egg Hunt





On Saturday, April 11, I took Gehrig to his first egg hunt at our church, College Heights Methodist. It was a smaller hunt and a good one to break him in. Gehrig was very tentative and didn't quite know what to do. I had to coax him, but he did all the hunting by himself. In the end, he got 18 eggs and won a prize for the least amount of eggs collected for his age group! He was very excited about winning a prize!

Coloring Easter Eggs



On Good Friday, Gehrig colored Easter eggs with Olivia, Ethan and Jack at Gigi's house. The kids had a big time coloring the eggs, eating pizza and playing together. Gehrig is wearing his bunny hat he made at school on Thursday. He wore it everyday until it finally fell apart!
