Easter Weekend

A weekend or two ago I left my digital SLR at my mom's house (I can't believe I did that since my camera is my 1st born...goes to show you what having a baby does to you) and was able to pick it up at my sister's this weekend.  Here are some pics from our visit at her house. Of course, hauling around all of Charlie's stuff at the other houses I forgot to get out my camera :-(

For the last couple of years when I was teaching and had limited breaks during the school year Jose and I have taken Easter to travel or have a small celebration together and now I remember why. We had a really great weekend with family but driving out towards Dixon for our last visit we realized how bad the traffic was going home (around 5:30). We didn't end up leaving until 9:00 and still hit really bad traffic, not getting in to the condo until after 11:30 pm. We used to make the late drive ALL THE TIME and yet we can't do it anymore. Both of us are zombies this morning - I told Jose after my 6 am wake up call with Charlie talking that I feel like I got hit over the head.

Charlie sharing a blanket on the lawn with Logan (Carter's nephew). Charlie had never sat on the grass before and instantly tried to, with persistence, eat the grass until I had to pick him up.

Nothing beats a sidewalk chalk welcome :-)

Charlie's 1st easter basket full of big boy clothes! Thanks Nona!

Happy boy on his blanket - in what was supposed to be his thanksgiving outfit :-) Judging sizes can be tricky!
