Happy Easter

Even though we have quite a bit to catch up on and will get back to those soon, for this post we are fast-forwarding in our blog time-line to present day - Easter.  For this year's Easter weekend, we were blessed with some beautiful weather and took full advantage of it.  Saturday the sun began to shine and we finally got some weather above 50 degrees.  Charlie unfortunately had to go in to work on Saturday but Katie, Griffey and Brady took a long walk around the neighborhood.  After dropping Griffey off at home, Katie and Brady continued to walk to Roscoe Street where all the shops are located because one of the shops was having the Easter Bunny.  Brady was a bit shy at first but then he thought it was quite fun to pick out things off the store shelves and bring them to the Easter Bunny, he even thought it was fun to throw a ball at the Easter Bunny.

And then we tried to sit on the Easter bunny's lap for one picture and this is what we got:

Oh man, makes me feel like a rotten parent, posting this picture and making our little boy sit on the scary Easter Bunny, hopefully I havn't scarred him for life but he bounced back quite quickly with a new dinosaur book and lunch date with mommy.

Saturday night we actually had dinner plans with Brady's best buddy at daycare, Oliver and his parents.   Brady and Oliver have been friends at Daycare for quite awhile now and it is super cute because they get so excited to see each other.  Brady was a little confused when we arrived at the restaurant and saw Oliver there, but Oliver quickly warmed him up by screaming excitedly and waving his hands around and pretty much the whole dinner went like that...the two of them screaming back and forth, giggling and mimicking each other.

Sunday morning, Brady woke up at his usual weekend time of 7:30 and we told him about how the Easter Bunny had come and laid eggs in our basement.  We are not sure if he fully understood our story about the Easter Bunny but he sure liked finding and collecting the eggs and we loved watching him.

After a big breakfast (Katie made a Leslie Mowry speciality - Egg Strata), we all needed a nap and luckily Brady wanted to take one also.  And then after our naps, we headed to Wrigley Field for the Cubs-Reds game and another beautiful day outdoors.  It's amazing how much Brady has changed since his last Cubs game last year when he fell asleep in the Baby Carrier, and now he is clapping (unfortunately to Daddy's dismay he was clapping for the wrong team), dancing to the music, sitting in his own seat (although we still only paid for two )  and wanting to walk up and down the rows......oh the toddler years....how we love this time so much.

We hope everyone that reads this had a wonderful Easter weekend as well.
