Easter Eggs and Fancy Flowers

We celebrated Easter (kid style) early yesterday with our neighborhood playgroup. It was so fun to see the adorable dresses and sweater vests on all the kiddos. I remember always picking out a special Easter dress for Sunday with my mom. It is a day to celebrate so why not wear your finest and be decked out in something new (afterall, thanks to Easter, we are given the chance to be a new creation)

The happy family:

After the party, C took a nap. Playgroups and Sundays always exhaust her and lead to awesome afternoon naps! I love it! When she woke up, we walked over to the Botanical Gardens. What a beautiful day! The last time we were here we were with Aunty M (who gave C the shirt she is wearing in the following pictures). Everything was gorgeous. I took almost 100 pictures but chose a few of my favorites to show you:

C wore shorts for the first time today. It will also be the last time that she wears them for a while. I think shorts look a little weird on babies...? Here is C, practicing standing:

Loving on her daddy

I love Wednesdays

Why? Because I get to really delve into the word of God by exploring Genesis chapter by chapter and...BONUS! i get to see all my nursing-mommy friends at Bible Study (we are in the nursing mothers core group)!

Three of us all had daughters within days of each other which makes it really neat to see the girls growing together. They are both leaving C in the dust with their mad-crawling skills. Here are some precious pics of them from today:

Poor baby C needs to learn some people-skills. Either that, or she is just jealous of Baby A's hair. She tried to pull it out and made Little A! Hopefully she will not become a bully--not if Babywise principles can help it, that is!

I thought this pic of C was hilarious:

All that playing with babies made her sleepy! While we might sacrifice a nap in the morning to go to Bible study, she sure does sleep well on the way home!

PS Another mommy giveaway! If you don't have a babe, though, this adorable blanket would definitely be snuggle-worthy for your pampered pet (and I know those of you sans kiddos have pets and that they are pampered). Check it out by clicking on this pic:
