 | The countdown has begun! We have 5 weeks to go till my due date (if you are keeping track Erin was 2 weeks early!). I have been feeling great - just some creaky hips but I have to have some reason for Dennis to have to get up and get me sweet treats! I have been feeling the same as I did with Erin, I look the same, but Erin has said all along that it is a boy. Let us know what you think! |
Visitors
Dennis's Mom and Stan came to get their winter dose of Erin in early February. When Dennis and I went on a date Erin told them it was "fun when Mommy and Daddy were not home." This hurt a bit and then we realized they let her eat cookies, licorice, watch TV and stay up 1 hour past her bedtime - that is MUCH more fun than Mommy and Daddy!
Some friends from PA came for a visit and Macy and Erin hit it off as if it had been days not months since we last saw them. We took our turn and went for a visit to the Lehigh Valley and had fun catching up with our friends and seeing how big all the kids are!
Holidays
It has been so fun getting ready for holidays this year! Erin loved to use her stamp made from an apple to create Valentines Cards for her grandparents. We had friends over for Valentines Day and the first day of Spring and, as you can see, she loved to lick the icing both off plastic knives or beaters. For St. Patrick's Day we made shamrock trees but the most fun was Easter. We went on an Easter Egg Hunt and Erin was so excited to tell the Bunny she went on the potty. She would run forward a few steps and backwards a few steps - he was exciting and scary at the same time! She did tell him but that excitement wore off so I guess we have to think of another plan because she has to be out of diapers before Santa comes!
Performer
Erin loves to get dressed up in her fancy clothes and ballet dance all around the living room! She is quite the ham. She also loves to sing from behind the curtain of her puppet theater and watch Dennis play the guitar.
Random
The first shot is just a family photo but the second one is special because it was taken at Franks Diner. Dennis takes Erin to "Franks" every Saturday. Laurie is their favorite waitress and Erin orders either grits and a bagel or pancakes and eggs. We all look forward to this weekend ritual!
