Easter Cont.

Here we are watching sponge dinosaurs emerge from capsules in a bowl of warm water. Riveting.

The Easter Bunny found us at Grandma & Grandpa Hay's house too!

Easter Pics

Not an Easter picture, but a cute picture of Evie's ever-changing hairstyles. She was born with a full head of hair, but has slowly lost it all. Here she is during her mohawk phase!

What is this?

Unfortunately my video wont post correctly, but this is what happens when I step out of the kitchen for a second. According to Madeline, Evie is wearing "a birthday hat".

Happy Spring/Summer!

It's April 1st and today's high temperature was 80 degrees! We took advantage of the beautiful weather and took a long walk along the Riverwalk where daffodils were in full bloom. I couldn't pass up a photo op, but Madeline is still a little small to hold Evie on her lap. :)

Family Pics

For the first time since Evelyn was born, we decided to go to church together this morning. Unfortunately, it still takes us forever to get out of the house, so we were 15 minutes late to church and it was standing room only. That was not going to work for a hungry baby and active toddler. So we went to my parents' house for brunch a little early. Since we were all dressed up, we took the opportunity to take a few family photos.

Field Museum

Dan took the day off on Friday, and after a rough week of Madeline having a stomach bug, we enjoyed a wonderful day downtown Chicago at the Field Museum. The weather was 62 degrees and beautiful, and if we didn't have to get home for naps, we would have loved to take a walk along the lake shore too.

One of Madeline's favorite programs on PBS is a cartoon called "Dinosaur Train", so she was thrilled to be able to see all the dinosaur bones.

She really liked pushing the buttons on the exhibits, even though she didn't listen to what it said.

More Smiles

Evelyn is starting to become more engaged in the world, and has a few favorite toys. Here she's sharing some smiles with her turtle. "Tummy Time" is also one of her favorite times to relax and talk to her toys. We love to hear all the sighs and coos that come from her.
