Happy Easter!







We all enjoyed a great Easter weekend with egg hunt, a friend's 2-yr old birthday party, church, family bikeride, and ham feast prepared by Derek. What fun! Thank you all for the cute cards and yummy gifts! The weather was really nice, so we felt pretty fortunate for that too. Alex took a 3 1/2 hour nap at school today. Apparently we wore him out! Poor kid!

Lately, he has been learning all sorts of new tricks and his speech has been improving everyday. He can say all kinds of words (maybe just that Mama and Papa can understand) including spoon ("boon"), bike, duck, blocks ("bock"), blanket ("baba"), bottle (also "baba"), puppy ("pa-pa"), etc. He knows that doggies say "Uh-Uh" and ducks quack. He also tries his best to say many, many other words, but most are unintelligible babble! He can give high five's and also knuckles. Sadly, he has also learned what time-outs mean because he sometimes thinks it's fun to hit mommy. Not so fun after all!

Thanks for checking in, and hopefully we'll be posting more regularly again now that things have seemed to settle down a bit and I finally finished my real estate courses too! Hooray! Love, Traci
