Happy Easter


Maggie seemed to enjoy her first Easter. We went to church with my parents and then the rest of the Nance/Isler/Pressnell clans converged for a yummy dinner and the obligatory egg hunt. MagB did not particpate in the egg hunt this year but - cousins be warned - next year it's on! She did, however, participate in her day care's egg hunt on Good Friday and I'm just going to come out and say it: she got gypped! Of the six eggs she came home with only two included treats - one with some gummy lifesaver bunnies (which mommy enjoyed) and one with some stickers. The rest were empty. Empty! WHO BRINGS EMPTY EGGS TO AN EGG HUNT??? Now I might not be so bothered by this had I not spent all week worrying about what to include in the eggs Maggie would take to school. I mean, what do you put in a egg for a 9 month old? Candy is out. Stickers are an option but they don't know what to do with them yet. Michael graciously raided two different Target stores looking for options. (Thank you honey!) We finally decided on socks. Exciting? No. But what infant could not use an extra pair of socks? And, they fit easily into a small plastic orb. Of course Maggie was not bothered at all by the lack of treats. I, however, was a bit miffed.

With that rant, I will leave you with some more Easter pics of Maggie and a darling video of Michael making Maggie laugh. I love that precious laugh!

Hope you all have a great week!

Water Babies

Last weekend was the first Water Babies lesson for Maggie. She really seemed to enjoy the water. Here are some pics:


Here's MagB sporting her cute little swimsuit cover up!





Waiting for class to begin - Maggie sizes up the competition!



Entering the pool. At this point she is still not sure what to think!



Getting the babies used to the water:


Blowing bubbles!



Now it's her turn!


The back float!

Underwater she goes:

Mommy was more bothered by it than she was!

Look Daddy - I'm kicking!

Hope you all have a wonderful Easter weekend!
