He was wonderful before church, smiling, happy, talking. Fast forward to 5 minutes before the actual baptism...crying that led to screaming and crying. Oh well. He's a baby and every mother in the congregation understood (so did the dad's I'm sure). After a quick snooze in my lap, he woke up in a great mood and the minister was able to carry him around and introduce him to the congregation and he smiled at all the right people and was quiet and it was perfect.

Beauties
Have you ever seen more beauty in one picture? I have seen lots of pictures over the years thanks to mother's business and I have NEVER seen anything that makes me happier, smile more or feel more like I have a very real purpose.

Hello Kitty...
We had three successful birthday parties for Lauren followed by Easter so let's assume we have plenty of candy and new stuff to last us a while...It was great fun though. Funny story: I told Lauren on Thursday that Saturday would be her family birthday party and she said, "So then will I be 5?" I love her so much. She is a very funny kid.
***************
Jack has his very first ear infection and is on the second type of antibiotics in a week. Side note: If you ever have to give Omnicef, know that it can change the color of bowel movements to burgundy. Just so you know, since I didn't and we went rushing to the doctors office minutes after dropping Lauren off at school only to find out that I panicked for no reason. Something about magnesium content. Sigh...

Time
Let me tell you about my life, 4 years ago today. Mother and Rebecca came down to go with me to the dr. We decided to induce the next day and I PANICKED! How was I going to give birth? I knew it would KILL me. We ate at Kipplee's, came home and John and I went to bed, but didn't sleep. I was so nervous/excited/worried/scared/excited that I didn't know what to do...
Fast forward to today: Lauren asks me, "Momma, can I sleep in your lap?" I wanted to tell her she could sleep there forever if she wants to...

This was taken in our backyard on a recent spring day. We had been home all day and I had been playing with our new camera and thought that this would be a great opportunity to take some spring pictures. This was one of 105 photos taken that day. From 10 in the morning until 4 in the afternoon. Sounds like I have a picture taking addiction...and I do. Wouldn't you with such beautiful children to photograph?
Enjoy and Happy Easter!! (I know I am a week early)

One more week
Until Lauren is 4 YEARS OLD!!! Where has the time gone? And, I see it going again with Jack. It's unfair. Completely and utterly unfair. Daily, she is becoming more kid and less preschooler. She talks like she is older, looks and dresses like she is older, uses more of her imagination to come up with even more elaborate stories, asks more in depth questions and more and more does things to entertain Jack. She loves to make him smile and chuckle. She is a little momma. I just love her so much. How to make time slow down...?

OK, so...
We are better. Best of all? Lauren never got even a touch of that nastiness. How is that possible? I don't know, but I am SO thankful!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Lauren loves school, and really loved her field trip yesterday to the train museum downtown. Jack and I went, too. He slept, I visited with a friend and then we enjoyed the rest of the AWESOME WEATHER!!! 78 DEGREES IN MARCH!!!

Getting our butts kicked!!!
So, the stomach flu. It's getting us. Long. Hard. HORRIBLY!!! John had it Sunday and was fine by that night. Monday night, Jack started vomitting. I woke up with it Tuesday and Jack continued. By Wednesday, I felt fine and Jack continued so we went to the dr. He said, "Start blah-blah-blah formula and he'll start improving". I cannot find that formula but got another one. He slowed down a bit, then it came back. Last night before bed, VOMIT ALL OVER ME, JACK, HIS HANDS, CLOTHES, MY HAIR, THE BATHROOM SINK, ETC., ETC., ETC. Wow...that's all I can say. Wow...
More later.

THE SNOW!!!!!!!
Since snow wouldn't come to us, we went to the snow. There was a lot of snow, 12+ inches when we got there, and more came Saturday. Lauren got to sled with her friends and play in the cold, and then she played some more. Lauren was very excited. Jack didn't seem to care.
Luckily, the roads were clear so travel was easy. And may I say, WAY TO GO OHIO! Some of the clearest roads I have ever seen in that kind of snow. Good job!
Now, on to spring!!!
