Easter Bunny Brunch

This past weekend, we took the girls to their second annual Bunny Brunch. Grami Tami, Uncle Ted, Aunt Kelly, Nora and Jimmy joined us. Yet again, the weather didn't cooperate very well but everyone managed to have a blast anyway. The girls were VERY much into the Easter egg hunt this year. Not at ALL, however, into the Easter Bunny. They screamed, cried and tried to run away! Click here for last year's pictures and to see how much they have grown!

Ok Lucy, you distract the bunny while I take his eggs

Hey, these eggs have chocolate in them!

Tunnels

The girls have a little tunnel that they play with at home. They love to play hide and seek and, while they do crawl through it sometimes, mostly, they scoot on their butts to get from one end to another. Apparently, it seemed logical for them to do the same thing when they found a "tunnel" (aka-arbor with benches underneath it) on campus at Notre Dame. Lucy ran across the grass shouting "tunnel, tunnel". When she reached it, she sat right down and proceeded to scoot on her butt for about 30 feet, from one end to the other. Claire, of course, followed suit. It was quite the site but to them, was completely logical.

Growing Up

Our little Lucy is really growing up..... too fast! It has been quite some time since Lucy has had a stretch of time that she wasn't sick. Since she has been healthy (knock on wood), we have seen her personality really start to develop. And what a darling she is! And FUNNY! In a continuation of the "God Bless You" story from Claire.... Claire sneezed last night and I said, "God Bless You". Lucy followed it up with, "Amen". Judd and I were laughing hysterically! It was so cute. She is into hiding things and then saying, "Where'd go?" while holding her hands up. Then she says, "I hide it" and goes and gets it to show you. When she wants to be held, she stands at your feet, with her hands in the air and says, "I hold you". She's got her pronouns mixed up but it is so darling! She loves to go on the swings outside and play with her baby dolls, tucking them in and giving them blankies to sleep with. Just when we think she's growing up too fast though, she asks for her blankie. Below, she found her back-up blankie and decided that she needed both of them, while drinking her ba-ba.... and playing dress-up. This girl is a multi-tasker! And we love her very much!
