Double the Pleasure

Ethan has been a bit of a handful lately . . . today I walk into the living room and he had found two pacifiers in his diaper bag. We're supposed to working on weening the pacifier, I think we just took a step backwards- oh well!

Family Photo

So, we forgot to take one on Sunday when we were all dressed nicely. This was taken on Monday right before we left. Ethan has about had it with pictures at this point and would not cooperate- plus the sun was in our eyes- don't we look great!

Pregnant Wonders

Chiara and I took this picture to appease our mother. She always says we do not take enough pictures, etc., etc. Chiara is due May 20 and I'm due July 26th. It will be great to have these kids so close in age!!

Easter Egg Hunt

Here are a few before pics. I love Ethan's outfit- he looked so serious and grown up- like a little business man! And Norah looked so ladylike! Time sure does fly . . .

Easter Outfits

We tried to have Ethan and Norah pose together for a nice Easter picture in their cute outfits. This was the best I could do! The would not look at the camera at the same time- it was very frustrating! I love the second one b/c they are more facinated by dirty leaves than taking a nice picture!

Aunt Chiara

I thought this was a cute picutre- Ethan and Norah are listening to baby Hemsley and waiting to feel him move!

Easter Eggs 2

Easter Eggs

Chiara and I decided to dye Easter eggs with the kids. Norah was a very good girl during this process and did not touch the cups without Chiara's help/permission. Ethan, on the other hand, continued to reach for the cups despite numerous warning- and finally got one- and dumped orange dye all over himself and me!

Easter Weekend In Iowa

Ethan, Jim and I headed to Iowa to spend Easter with Chiara, James and Norah. Ethan had a great time tormenting- I mean spending- time with Norah. The weather was beautiful on Saturday, so Norah and Ethan had lunch outside.

Easter Egg Hunt

Nonna's work hosted an Easter Egg hunt in the beautiful gardens they have. Ethan and Addison came for the hunt and had a great time. They even had a big parachute that the kids had fun playing under!
