Happy Easter & Getting Ready for Baby!!

What a fun day we had celebrating Easter!! When you woke up, you walked right by your Easter Basket! Daddy had to point it out to you, and then you immediately wanted to Skype with Papaw and Tessie so they could watch you open your gifts. You were definitely the MOST excited about the m&ms in your basket.

Happy Easter!! Already in your dress-up costume!

MMM...this sucker looks YUMMY!


Sully & Mona don't get what the excitement is all about....

After opening presents, we went to one of our favorite breakfast spots on the beach: Kate's Pancake House. It's our Easter tradition to have breakfast there, and you gobbled up your pancakes because you knew where we would be going next: THE BEACH!! For the 2nd year in a row, it was a BEAUTIFUL Easter Sunday, so we had to take advantage of the day and spend some time appreciating the beauty of the sand and sea. Unfortunately, we had to leave because you decided to take a mini-swim in the still-freezing cold water. But, we did return later that afternoon in appropriate beach attire, so you could play in the tidal pools and the sand. Still, while there, we managed to get some great photos!

You are always eager to get your toes in the sand!


The water was COLD, but you didn't mind chasing the waves.

Your baby brother is scheduled to arrive in less than five weeks, and we've done SO LITTLE in terms of documenting this pregnancy. When we were expecting you, we took photos of my belly WEEKLY, but we're so busy/tired this time around that we haven't done so well with keeping up with that. We took advantage of the beautiful morning to snap some shots of Mommy's belly so we could remember this time. It won't be long before this blog becomes stellar stories about both YOU and Phoenix! And so the sharing begins....

That's the belly...and the ocean.

Love your face in this one. You continue to be
very concerned about the disappearance of my belly button...
