Egg Hunt at School and Easter at Home

Here's a video of Caroline egg hunting at school. She hasn't figured out that the idea is to find the eggs and then open them. Maybe next year!
Caroline wasn't feeling her best Easter Sunday so we had a lazy day at home. We watched the Masters and I cooked a big meal to celebrate our first holiday in our new home. This is a video of Caroline hunting eggs in the living room since it had rained all night and through the morning. Yes, she is wearing Santa pj's! What can I say, they still fit so she's still wearing them!
This is a picture of Caroline and Alex on the back porch. She's extra snugly when she's feeling under the weather.

Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center

We're so lucky to live right down the road from the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. We took Caroline to their native plant sale last Saturday. She had a lot of fun people watching and checking out interesting plants. She picked a couple blue bonnets which is illegal in Texas! I'm glad that she didn't get caught!

Nona's Visit, South-By-Southwest and Trip to LaGrange

Here are a few things from Spring Break that I did not have time to post. Here's a video of Nona reading to Caroline in the bath. She LOVES this peek-a-boo book.
This is a picture of Alex, Chad and their girls. We all drove down to LaGrange for Lucas's Christening. It was a beautiful day! For those of you that don't know, South By Southwest is a HUGE music festival in Austin. It's every year during spring break in case you want to come next year!! We took Caroline to one of the outdoor concerts on the lake downtown. Here's a quick video of Caroline and her Daddy enjoying the Bob Schneider set.

Easter

I hope all of you had a great Easter. We had a wonderful long weekend at home. Caroline and I had our first mother-daughter shopping day Friday. We went to Sandy's, the best place for kids shoes in Austin. She loved picking out shoes to try on. She looks like such a big kid in her new sandals. Here's a link to pictures from Caroline's school. She had so much fun at the egg hunt. http://flickr.com/gp/29456218@N08/8i8Ha9

We're Back!

We are finally in our new house! We spent the night here for the first time Thursday, March 26th, but we haven't had internet access until a few days ago. We have a long way to go- decorating, organizing, etc.- but the worst is over! I have so much to update since I last wrote. Caroline is all over the place now that she's walking. She even tried hopping last week at school. They painted the kids feet so they could hop like bunnies across the paper. Caroline did a lot of staring at her painted feet, but she's been trying to hop ever since. One not so great "first" for Caroline. She had her first sick visit to the doctor last Tuesday. She had an ear infection and is taking her first round of antibiotics. She started feeling much better right away. I had been blaming her sleepless nights on teething (she has four teeth now- top two and bottom two). I learned my lesson! Here are a few pictures from last weekend. We attended Taelyn's (Chad and Gwen's 11wk old) dedication at her church and a cookout afterwards. Caroline looked so pretty in her dress from Nona and so cute in her pink outfit from Kellye. Here's a quick video of us trying to get Caroline in the bath. She loves her bath book from Aunt Sherry.
