Not too much to report

We haven't had too much going on.  My dad spent a few days in the hospital so that put quite a spin on our lives.  Sorry I didn't update.  Here are a couple pictures of Connor and my dad.  He has not felt well at all.  We hardly have any picture of him and Connor, we are pushing for them since we never know how long we have with my dad. 

 Grace started soccer, she LOVES it.  Here she is with Kaelyn, her best friend. 

 Grace is pretty good, thanks to Cal and Hannah.  They have taught her some of the basics. She can't wait to play on the "big" team. 

Connor is growing like a weed.  He is 3 months old, but wearing 6 month clothes. He laughs, coos and makes TONS of crazy noises.  He loves his mommy.  He is sleeping through the night and has been for a while now.  I can't believe how lucky I got with him.  His heart issues are ok.  He has had some break throughs... we see the cardiologist thursday.  He is totally a thumb sucker.   Grace is crazy like always.  She is doing great in school. She has been doing great in swimming as well. She is almost ready for the next level. I am going to try to get pictures soon. I am hoping with my new camera I can get some half way ok pics of her in the pool.

Happy Easter

We did alot to get ready for Easter this year. Craig had Grace "cute" me into making a bunny cake, so here is what we got.   

 

Grace loves to play and to dress up.  We were waiting for some company and this is what I was entertained by.

 Grace and my mom(Grammy) had an Easter Egg hunt.  I am not sure who had more fun 

Connor ready to watch his first Cubs game. 

Grace colors eggs with my dad for Easter.  They don't have any fun at all. 

We went by Craig's family for Easter.  Grace loves to play with all of her cousins.  Especially Ryan since they are so close in age.  Ryan got a car for his birthday, thankfully he is a better driver than she is.  He gave her a ride, I think they had a great time!!

Ryan finally decided to check Connor out once Grace touched him

We decorated Easter cookies, you can see the excitement....

Craig was lying in floor by Connor and then Dylan got on his back... then Ethan had to get in the action, then Ryan and then Grace.  Well I had to get a picture then yell at them for being too close to Connor.

We went to see Great Grandma Ecker while we were so close.  She got to meet her 40th Great Grand Child.

Here is Grace right before the Easter Egg hunt

Here is Connor and Papa

Here are some pictures of the kids I got on Easter.  Grace was a ham as always. Connor looked so cute in his suit... thanks Aunt Kelly!!!

I think I'm a bunny

Connor is such a happy baby, I love it when he smiles.  He really thinks I am the funniest person alive. 

He does love his sister... as long as she keeps her space!

I am so sick of not having pictures of me and my babies.  So here we go!

 And you know Grace has to get into the action

 Grace and "Buddy Man"

 Got Grace some bunny ears....

 This is soooo true... he is a bottomless pit.  That is all I do is feed this kid.

 AGH! Isn't he adorable!!!

 Yeah.. you know you wanna pinch my cheeks!

This year, the teachers were working without a contract until now. They just went on strike for 2 days.  No, they were not after more money.  It was about their healthcare benefits.  Anyways, Grace was very interested in Daddy going to work and walking in a circle.  So we did drive by.  We took these pictures at home because he works on a busy street. 

 I got one good picture of Grace at Church on Palm Sunday. She was in the front of the line for waving the palms. 

 Isn't he the cutest baby ever?

 Our umbrella broke and was in the backyard waiting to get put out for the garbageman.  Well it was windy and Grace decided to play with it.  I am surprised she didn't end up visiting some of our far away friends!
