Update: Skip ahead to Easter

I thought I should skip to the next big event we had at our house - Easter - then I'll start filling in day to day life.


Aunt Pete and Uncle Lloyd came up for the weekend. They haven't seen Kahlil since he was just a couple months old, yellow, and we were still breast-wrestling. Things are a little different these days!


We had a great time during their visit. Saturday we stopped in EVERY shoe store in downtown Corvallis. I never really thought about how many shoe stores there are... but it's quite a few. We also went to the tulip festival at Green Gable Gardens... a garden about ten miles away in Philomath. It was really beautiful. We've never been there before and we plan to go back. Oh yea, we also went to The Toy Factory and Pete and Lloyd bought Kahlil the best toy ever!



Since two of Kahlil's words are 'tractor' and 'wheel' he really loves his tractor. It will be awhile before he can reach the pedals. In the mean time, he likes to push it around, touch the wheels, and sit on it while Mom and Dad give him rides. I'm working on teaching him to steer but we haven't made much progress yet.


On Sunday the Weisels came over for brunch. Aunt Pete threw together a fruit salad and whipped up a few quiches (bacon/broccoli, sausage/mushroom, and crab/asparagus), Lloyd made yummy potatoes, Jay brewed some Gin Fizzes, and the Weisels brought some carrot muffins (VERY tasty) and sweet buns. It was SO good! (Notice I'm not on the list... :-) We had a great time visiting and eating... it was a nice, relaxing day.

Baby Jack seemed to enjoy his first Easter, but he wasn't much into chocolate or eggs this year. Maybe next time.


And now here is a picture the chocolate and Easter industries don't want you to see. This the beginning of a life long addiction...
