Easter in Charlottesville
We spent our 3-day Easter weekend at Grammy and Pop-Pop's house and had lots of fun dying eggs, baking cookies, napping (I think I got my best nap in over a year!!), and playing outside.
Egg decorating...
Riding the tractor!
Helping Grammy with her yard work...
Showing off new skills...
Blowing kisses!
Standing all by myself!!
Getting ready to walk! Levi took his first steps this weekend!!!
Enjoying the beautiful day!
Did I mention that Levi started walking this weekend? He can take 4 steps before falling down, and he is SO proud of himself! Time to batten down the hatches!!

Easter in Laurel Park
Our neighborhood did a fantastic Easter celebration this year, complete with an egg hunt, petting zoo, and pony rides.
We found some cracked eggs along the way...
Gunnar was a bit timid around the Easter bunny.
The petting zoo was a huge hit!
Gunnar LOVED the pig!
And holding the bunny was the highlight of the day.
Our neighbors, the Griffins, had fun too!

Our garden
I've been talking about it for years, and we finally did it. We planted our first fruit and vegetable garden!
Our produce includes lettuce, spinach, broccoli, strawberries, and blueberries. Gunnar got to pick our first strawberry crop, which yielded 2 whole strawberries. They were delicious!
Fortunately, our lettuce crop yielded quite a bit more, and we can now eat salads everyday for the next month!

Dorton Park
One of Gunnar's favorite school friends, Genevieve, lives next to the park by school, and we recently spent an afternoon there together. We had fun with rocket balloons and chariot rides!

Off to the Rivah
While Erik was on one of his epic adventures with work, I took the boys to Virginia to join in on a family visit to The Rivah to see Nan. The kids love to go fishing when we're there. And the fish like the hot dogs we feed them.
Caught one!
We're on the catch, kiss, and release program...
Such handsome fishermen...
...and adorable spectators!
What a treat to spend time with Aunt Lizzie!
Princess Gracee
Will was calling for the fish.
Thanks for hosting our wild gang, Nan! We love you!

Goofing off
Here are some photos of our favorite thing to do... goofing off!
Mealtime...
At the playground...
Testing out a new camera lens...
On the move...
Naked time!
Phew! I'm exhausted! (And, yes, this is a typical Levi sleep position. One day I'll get the I-just-woke-up photo with fingerprints on his face!)
