Not over it yet

I can't get over how great this past weekend was. David and I were both off Friday so got to spend time together at the park with the baby, enjoying the gorgeous weather. If every day was like that... We went to my grandparents' house to celebrate my Dad's birthday, and even though we didn't do anything major the rest of the weekend, it was so nice to be able to get outside. I love watching Adam notice so many new things outside, and I just wish I knew what was going on inside his little head! Anyway, I wanted to post Jessica's slideshow of some new pictures.

We're Rollin' Now

Sorry to send my few blog followers into a tizzy by not posting in so long! Our little man can now roll over! I have been hot on his tail the past few weeks, always with the video camera in hand, to catch the much anticipated first roll. Of course, most of you already know that kids and babies do not perform on demand, and apparently Adam is no different.

Papa (Carson) drove up this morning to drop off a couch that was given to us (thanks, Leah!) and since I was close to leaving for church, David ran out to pull my car out of the driveway. Adam was playing in the living room under his little jungle gym. When I walked down, he was on his belly, and off-center of the jungle gym. Knowing David would not have left him on his belly because Adam usually protests, I had to confirm, and of course, Adam decided that this morning, the one minute he was left alone, would be the perfect time to try this rolling-over thing. So I put him on his back and he quickly replayed for us what we had missed! So I wonder, which way did your babies roll first, front to back or back to front?

Happy Easter!

What a beautiful day to celebrate our risen Lord! We have had a fun weekend, traveling to Corbin to spend time with the Strunks and to celebrate Sarah & John's wedding shower, Leah coming to town and John's birthday. Adam was a good traveler!

We made it back late so we could go to church today. We got up and ready for the 8:30 service - quite an accomplishment! It was Adam's first day in the main church service, and he was really good. He slept a little, played a little, and LOVED looking at all the big tv screens! We have noticed at home that he is always straining to see the tv if it is on, so of course the four big jumbo-screens were like a party to him.

We had Easter dinner at my mom's and then came home to dye our Easter eggs. You can see how much Adam enjoyed that!

Speaking of Easter eggs, David and I have dyed eggs every year we have been together, but the kit we bought this time was a real dud. One tablet didn't dissolve at all, there was no purple dye (tragedy), and several colors were sub-par. I looked carefully when buying this year because last year's kit did not contain a wax crayon (also a tragedy, and I am scarred by this, you can tell). So I got the box that contained a crayon, lots of colors, and thought we were good to go. Not so much. By the way, who wants a BROWN egg? We were not impressed. David thinks we bought a "neon colors" box three years ago, so I'll have to look for that one next year.

Adam is 5 months old!

Is it Big Blue Madness Yet?

Look who's big enough for his UK outfit now? Adam needs it to be basketball season (or football will do) so he can wear his cute little clothes! Wait...are there still games going on? I only remember because I'm mentally spending the money David might win in his bracket challenge. He was the only one to pick the final four in our group of ~165 people! Yea! Hopefully I didn't just jinx him. Once that's over, I guess we'll have to cheer for the baseball team... But this happy fella, isn't he adorable?
