Happy Easter!! We had a great holiday, with beautiful weather, finally! It was in the 60's and sunny all day. I think that Spring might actually be arriving soon. I was begining to think it was never going to get here!!

Our Easter Sunday was a quiet one. We went to church in the morning and then just hung out at home in the afternoon. Mike watched baseball, and I hung wallpaper. Charlie took a long nap - she wasn't feeling that well. (I think her top teeth are finally getting ready to make an appearance.) Later that night, we had a great dinner with one of my girlfriends from church, and her daughter. (Her husband and son were at the Cubs game!)

On Saturday, we took the baby to the local park for a city run Easter Egg hunt. She had a great time. We saw some of her friends (and mine) from church, and spent a great morning at the park playing and hunting for eggs. Charlie was completely uninterested in the actual Easter eggs, she just crawled around on the grass in search of leaves and twings that she could put into her mouth.

There was a special apperance made by the Easter Bunny, and Charlie seemed to enjoyed their first meeting!!

Here we are getting ready to hunt for some eggs (or sticks and leaves, depending).

We are excited about the upcoming visit from Grandma Co Co and Auntie Michelle aand cousin Mckenna!! We should have great weather all week. We are planning a trip into the city where we will visit the Field Museum and the Pirate Exhibit, and eat yummy deep dish pizza!! Then on Sunday is Mike's first baseball game of the season!!

Charlie is growing like crazy, and learning lots and lots of new things. She is pulling herself up onto EVERYTHING, and she also waves bye bye, and plays ball with you. She is a chatterbox, and talks to me all day long. She says mommy, daddy, hi, bye, all done, yummy, and doggie. We are looking forward to her first birthday in a few months, and have a party planned for her here, as well as one in California. (Mark your calenders - Sunday Aug 2nd!!)
