All Dressed Up (and no place to go)

Ethan was all dressed up and ready to go.

Our Easter weather

Watching the Easter choir sing

When I called my last post "Holiday at Home," I wasn't really planning on it being literal.

Sunday morning, we got up bright and early, dressed in our Sunday best, and got ready to go to church. But then... Levi drove over to our boss's house to feed his dog, and when he got back, he said, "We'd better rethink going to church today." Apparently, in the 1/4 mile or so to and from our boss's house, he almost slid off the road 3 or 4 times. So we had a very homey Easter! I thought since Ethan couldn't go to church, at least we could watch a service on TV. Not a very typical 1st Easter for him, but maybe he'll enjoy hearing about it when he's older.

We did have a really nice Easter lunch with David (who lives close enough to walk over), which made it still seem like a special day. And my "Holiday at Home" prediction was more accurate than I meant it to be!

Holiday at Home

This is a notable weekend for Levi and I - our first holiday with just our little family. We usually take every possible chance to head up to Fort Collins and spend time with our families, but this weekend, it just seems like a good time to stay here.

So it's not just our first holiday with "just us," it's also my first holiday meal to cook! Good thing ham doesn't show any signs of being hard to cook. And thankfully, my culinary audience is not very demanding: one baby who will probably eat only Cheerios, and a husband who would probably still say nice things if I served him heated bologna (at the very worst, "This is one of those things you probably shouldn't make again").

So for the next holiday, we'll gladly head to town, but tomorrow, we'll just relax, celebrate Jesus' resurrection, and watch Ethan and the dog do cute stuff in our own little house.
















This picture has nothing to do with Easter or the above blog. I just liked it. It is Ethan's reaction to the dog trying to lick his forehead clean.

We're back...

Since "entering the modern era" well over a month ago, we seem to be blogging just as often as before -- that is, very rarely. Unfortunately, the otherwise lovely computer that we've borrowed to use at home has USB ports that don't work. At all. So no uploading pictures at home. And I feel a little cheap blogging all the time without a single picture to go along with the text. These are my lousy excuses for the lack of bloggage the last few weeks.
To make amends for lost time and lost photo ops, here's a little snippet that sums up the last two months or so. He just keeps getting cuter and cuter! There is also a new photo album on my facebook for anyone especially interested (ahem...Angela...).
