Levi - 19 days old

Easter Festivities

We were so excited to be invited to the Tagg Easter Egg Hunt this year. Miriam and Simon are not great egg/candy hunters (which is fine by me) but they remembered last year and were excited to see some of their old friends. The weather was great, so just being outside was wonderful. We love our new house but miss our ward and friends from our old town.

We woke the kids up a few minutes early on Easter morning so they would have time to check out their Easter gifts and find the eggs the Easter bunny left. They both got new backpacks so they would be ready for our trip to California in a few weeks. We filled the backpacks full of fun little gifts. The Easter bunny filled football eggs for Simon and flower eggs for Miriam full of candy.

Coloring Eggs

When we started talking to the kids about coloring Easter eggs Miriam immediately asked if we were going to Grandma's house. We have colored eggs there in the past and Miriam loves her traditions. So we decided to head to Michael's parents to color eggs this year. It didn't take long for Miriam and Simon to each color a dozen eggs. Levi took a nice nap and I took pictures.

and then there were three

the first couple of days

We have been enjoying our quiet time here at home with baby Levi. Miriam and Simon love giving him hugs and kisses. Here are some pictures from our first couple of days at home.

^^Michael has given all our kids their first "bath" at home^^

the rest of our hospital stay

After having a baby I am never a big fan of the two day hospital stay. This time was no different. It was always so much better when Michael and the kids came to be with me.
