Broken Computer = No New Entries

We have a ton to blog about, but our computer is broken. I am reduced to blogging at the public library while my boys play trains- is that pathetic? Just wanted to put a new something on so you wouldn't be forced to look at my new (not so new anymore) haircut. We hope to have our computer back within a week or so, and then we will re-join the blog world!

Spring Cleaning

I am the worst at getting my hair cut; I love it, but never do it. My last decent hair cut was in May of 2006. It was way past time; I was living in a pony tail 24/7. One of Jordan's fellow residents did all the research and found me a great salon where a couple of weeks ago I had my hair chemically straightened (like a reverse perm) and cut. I am super excited to say that I am no longer a white girl with an afro.

Augusta National

Thanks to Jordan's brother Jamey's great connections, Jordan was able to attend a practice round for The Masters with his dad and Jamey. Jordan has spent his entire life watching The Masters, so getting to see Augusta National up close and personal was an amazing treat.

The Maple Festival

We took a little road trip to central New York for the Maple Festival the first weekend of April. The boys were super excited for the train ride to the actual festival sight. Henry was in the middle of a tantrum, but managed to say "cheese" for the picture.

We loved sampling all the maple products. Maple syrup (freshly made), maple cream (maple lovers version of peanut butter), maple suckers, and maple cotton candy- nothing like a little sugar rush to dispel the gloom of the cloudy skies.

It was a great little get away and we're continuously grateful to live in a place with such fabulous day trips!

Sunday Visitor

Wouldn't you be so excited if this were your child? We were entertained all Sunday by watching the neighborhood Asian children enteract with this little skunk. Toward the end of the day, they loaded it up on a skateboard and took it into the woods. One little guy even asked if he should get it a blanket.

Easter

This year we hosted an Easter Brunch late Saturday afternoon for a few of the other Dental Residents and their families. In between actual food and dessert, the dads conducted an egg hunt in our back yard. Henry did a great job even though it was his first public egg hunt. Hunter quickly discovered the down side of using a bucket- eggs bounce out! Next year I'll be more on the ball and find bags. The boys loved having friends over to share in such a fun activity.

Yesterday's egg hunt got our boys super excited for the Easter Bunny to come. Hunter did tell me though that the Easter Bunny needs to be "more tricky" in hiding eggs.

Whopper eggs are my favorite Easter candy, but I'm a pretty big fan of good jelly beans too; Jordan loves Cadbury Eggs. All the boys want to eat are "jell beams". So now I have way too much left over candy that is calling my name. Who can say no to Whoppers?

"I'm a lucky boy"

Hunter was pretty excited that he found both money eggs. (Note: next year make sure we have one dollar bills before Easter morning).

Potty Time!

This is where we spend a solid amount of our day lately. If it's not Hunter, it's Henry, and sometimes it's both. We go through a lot of hand washing, but soap is cheaper than diapers, so bring it on! Hunter has decided that smiling for the camera is not nearly as fun as pulling "silly" faces. I hope it's a phase he grows out of quickly.

Seriously, what can I say about this picture? I left Henry on the potty so I could run down stairs and check on Hunter. When I came back up, here's my little Henry enjoying a good read. Could he be any more of a little man? Same day as top picture, so luckily the camera was still right by the bathroom.
