Egg Dying

We did some Easter egg dying with friends again this year.  Laine was much more aware of what to do, wanting to dye egg after egg until they were all gone.  We've been enjoying our colorful eggs as snacks since then!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!  We celebrate today the new life we have in Christ.  Praise God that He sent His Son to live, die, and rise again on our behalf.

Easter Egg Hunt

I took Laine to her first Easter egg hunt this past weekend.  It was sponsored by Vinita Park, our small community here.  As you can see in the background, the eggs were not hidden for the little kids.  

Even though Laine saw the eggs on the ground, she didn't quite know what to do.  She smiled at me and walked slowly while all the other kids ran to gather eggs.  In the end we gathered three eggs together, with much coaching on my part!  She had a great time though.

And we also got a fireman's hat from the firefighters who were at the egg hunt.  She looks great, doesn't she?

Self-Soothing

Mead has discovered how to soothe herself, for which we are all thankful.  Big sister sucked her thumb, but Mead has chosen her fingers.  Who knows how these things come about!  Either way, I am glad to not be tracking down pacifiers all the time.  I know, eventually I'll have to break these self-soothing habits, but for now I'm okay with it.

Happy Haircut!

I took Laine this past weekend to get her first official haircut.  We had one too many battles over tangles, so I decided it was time to chop it off.  Here's the before shot.

We went to Cool Cuts for Kids, which is very prepared for fidgety kids and provides plenty of entertainment to help little ones sit still.

It worked like a charm!

Here's a happy face and the cute finished product.

Sisters

Laine had such a good time posing for this picture.  She was so excited to sit on the couch holding Mead all by herself.  She actually stayed in position for another five minutes or so after I put the camera away!
