Easter

We had a wonderful Easter weekend. Every "first" with a baby is amazing. We took Salem to her first egg hunt.

She enjoyed it. Chad and I both had tears in our eyes when we ran out onto the field to find eggs with her. We took her to the zoo for the hunt. We didn't make it to the 2 and under egg hunt so we joined some very rambunctious three year olds out on the field. She didn't even seem to be phased. In fact, she loves big kids, so it made it better. She looked so intently at each egg, studying them. A baby's curiosity is one of the most amazing things about them. And we love watching her learn about the world.

We didn't go to church. (GASP!) Some of our best friends, Jim and Abby, went into labor this morning and I headed to the hospital. Between Salem's nap schedule and making sure she eats on time, it's hard to plan for a service that starts at 9:45 (nap time) or 11 (just waking up!). So we had our own little family and reflection time. We sat outside, played in the grass, drank our coffee, and truly thanked God for all our blessings.

We are so thankful that we have our girl to celebrate special days with. Very thankful.
