Easter 2010

We went to St. Louis to spend Easter with Jeremy's family. It was a good trip...other than nearly all the STL I's passing around a sick bug...we (thankfully) did not catch but it seemed to be awful for the infected. and definitely diminished "kid time" for them. sad. But here are some highlights:

-Isaac having a "blowout" on the drive up...we pulled off the highway at an exit with no services. We changed him on the top of the trunk. good times!

-going to the zoo on Saturday! it was a beautiful day and Irene and Xavi did very well! I think they outlasted Didu who was ready for a nap before them! :-)

-hanging out on the new deck/patio poolside. it is a beautiful addition and we are excited to go swimming when the water temps climb a bit!

-swimming in the hotel pool. Irene wore "water-wings" for the first time and she LOVED IT! She was a riot as she jumped fearlessly into the pool and loved "sim simming"...

-Xavi and Irene's first Easter Egg Hunt together...pretty much just watching Irene and Xavi interact the whole weekend was a riot. They are funny. Can't wait for Isaac to join in the shenanigans.

-Here is an Easter Album.

Sometimes a lot of things can change in a year...Here is a picture from Easter 2009 followed by one from 2010:
Also, these are the Easter outfits that the kids wore. We actually didn't get these pix until the following weekend, once we were back in Murray. But they are great and we thought we would share!

Mmm, that album made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Probably more than if I'd actually been there (what with the puking bug). I especially love the pictures: of the three kiddos together on the couch, of Irene and Xavi with Didu at the lake, and of Irene holding the egg out, like 'what do I do with this now?'

Maybe I should just go ahead and have a baby...they are awfully cute.
