We had fun with William for a couple hours on Saturday morning. He was rather fussy -- our sweet baby is definitely about to pop a couple of bottom teeth and it's obvious it hurts and is making him a bit cranky. Still -- he was loads of fun and we saw lots of smiles. We read books and watched him crawl all over the house. Rascal and Daisy were his constant companions. It was nice that Dave was able to be home and could enjoy some time with William as well!
Will was missing his daddy. Thank goodness for Auntie Bree.
Daisy just had to have a taste of that little finger!
I can eat my socks if I want to! Socks are so yummy!

Easter day was just gorgeous -- bright and sunny. We got a late start on getting the house ready (since we'd been out with Patty and Steve the night before -- dinner at the Dakota, taxes, and then lots of laughs while sitting at their bar watching their slideshow sales pitch intended to convince us to go on a Caribbean cruise with them in January) and even had a couple minor setbacks (who knew the leg to the dining room table would break off?) Still, it all came together. Dinner was yummy -- pork loin roast, red mashed potatoes, broccoli puff ... William even got to try some potatoes. And dessert -- when Bree and Jay came we had the unveiling of "the Easter cookie tray" which was scrumptious!
William had fun opening a bag full of Easter treats. There were some books (Mema made sure that the Paines had a copy of The Tale of Three Trees and William especially liked The Ten Ladybugs book), a personalized water bottle to take to the zoo this summer, and a rolly ball with a cute little monkey on top that we all loved. The best part though, was playing with the tissue paper!
We really had a wonderful day. It was nice to be able to spend time with Josh and Jessica, Bree and Jay, and mom. We were able to get a nice shot of William and GG Glennys ...
After dinner everyone settled in and started to watch the final round of The Masters. I finally left everyone and headed out to visit my mom. It was great that Dan, Renee, and Melanie were there too. We all were able to keep mom company as she ate her dinner and then we watched the exciting finish of the golf together. I didn't end up getting home until after 8:00 and was exhausted. Still -- Dave and I were able to watch "Celebrity Apprentice" together (it's one of those shows we can't believe we actually sit and watch but can't seem to pull outselves away from!)
It was certainly a wonderful Easter. We missed Daniel and Meghan but know they were having a nice day too. I keep thinking ahead to a wonderful Mother's Day weekend with them that's coming up and that makes it easier to be apart on special days like today.
AND we're all looking forward to a big family vacation together next summer!
