Yesterday was a busy day. We blessed Billy and celebrated Easter. Ricky was about as wired as we’ve ever seen him and when he finally crashed last night, he slept hard too. Kevin did a nice job with the blessing and Billy just went right to sleep with all the men bouncing him. Uncle Tim was holding Ricky when it came time to go to the front and Ricky ran right up to the front with all the grown up men! He just wanted to help, too.
After sacrament meeting, the whole mob came to our house for an Easter dinner. The weather had been perfect the previous days and was supposed to be good on Sunday, too, until the weather forecast Saturday night. Sunday was still sunny, but chilly. With jackets and sweaters, the backyard wasn’t completely unpleasant. We had an egg hunt for the little ones and there was a lot of visiting and family time. While Ricky was running all over the backyard playing, Billy just slept through the whole day and let anyone and everyone hold him. I was so busy, however, that I almost forgot to get a picture of him in his blessing outfit.
I did forget to take a picture of our whole family. With Ricky on the run, it wasn’t worth it to gather him for this shot.
And, I didn’t even think to get him posed in his Easter outfit. So here is Ricky swinging in the backyard with his cousin Jackson. Shorts seemed appropriate when the forecast was for the 70s.
The Easter Bunny came to visit and left treats for Ricky and Billy and Cousin Danny who spent Saturday night at our house. Ricky really liked finding the Easter Eggs, once he woke up enough to realize what he was supposed to do.
“Blue’s Clue” is Ricky’s current fascination. He watches the show in a dazed state, completely unaware of anything going on around him. As soon as an episode is over, he says “again” and he could watch the show, literally, for hours. And, thanks to the show, he now finds clues everywhere. This morning, he took me into his room and showed me a stain on his carpet (someday we WILL replace all the carpets in this house) and told me that it was a clue. A clue to what, I still don’t know.
