Alex is making his first trip to Paducah for Easter. Mom has been trying to help me find a cute Easter outfit. Who would have thought one of the best children’s clothing stores I have seen is in Paducah? We have used the same box to mail numerous outfits back and forth. Part of the problem is Alex’s size.
Below is a Newborn size that is way too big:
This one isn’t too big, but it’s too thin:
I really like this premie outfit, but I don’t think it will fit in two weeks:
The hunt continues.
We woke up to quite a bit of snow on the ground – silly Milwaukee. Wade had arranged a wonderful surprise for me – an afternoon just for us. Nate and Amy had agreed to watch Alex so we bundled him up:
and let him play in the snow:
After dropping Alex off we had a Japanese lunch and then headed home. Wade took a long nap and I finished a couple of organizing projects I have been working on. What a great afternoon!
Happy Birthday Heather!
Today was a wonderfully lazy day. We stayed in our pajamas till around 3 or 4 and did a bunch of nothing! It is supposed to snow tonight (6-9 inches) so I voted for an evening in with a fire and popcorn. We had Amber, Nick, and Abram over from across the street for a little Wii action in front of the fire. (They even brought yummy birthday cake.) Amber had to leave before too long to put Abram to bed, but we kept Nick up for a while racing and talking.
Happy Birthday Papa!
Today was a day of errands (without Alex). Wade came home to babysit and I had a doctor appointment, a dentist appointment, and made a run to the grocery. Of course, I also had some time to play with Alex and Madison:
I have never been a good napper. The problem used to be that I would wake up incredibly grumpy – regardless of how long or how short or where I slept. Now that I really need naps I find that I am rather particular. I don’t seem able to nap unless I am home alone (with Alex), on the couch with a blanket, and it’s daylight. With all my weird quirks maybe I should just give up on it all together….nah. I’m off to take a nap.
Wade took Alex and I out to dinner tonight. I chose one of my current favorite restaurants, Claim Jumper. For the second time I got a free piece of their motherlode chocolate cake. The first time we had placed a carryout order online and their system hadn’t received the order. To compensate they threw in a lot freebies – including a piece of cake. Tonight we have no idea why we got the free dessert. The waitress just brought a piece of chocolate cake and a piece of carrot cake when we were ready to leave. Yumm!!
Happy Birthday Aunt Beverly!
I’m pretty sure Jerry was hiding 20 dollar bills for Emily and Wade long before I was around. Every time we see each other (whether they come here or we go there) Jerry is sure to hide a 20 for Wade and a 20 for me. Sometimes we find them quickly and sometimes it takes a long time. When everyone came to visit for Alex’s birth, I found a 20 in his crib. It isn’t the first time Jerry has hidden money in Alex’s room, but I couldn’t figure out why there was only a single 20. When I found two more 20s in the candy bowl in the kitchen, I realized Alex was now getting a 20 too. Until he’s old enough to realize it, we are adding his 20s to his college fund.
Last night as we were getting into bed Wade and I both found a 20 and a Reese’s egg under our pillows. I went to Alex’s room and he had a 20 and a box of Peeps (long family story there). Anyway, Alex wanted to say thanks.
