Our Easter.

We went to Von Maur and hit the sale rack and I gave Emma 3 choices and she picked this dress. She has good taste!

Our Easter was great. We went to church, hid some eggs, ate a good meal, and just spent time together as a family. This last month has been just a blur. I am thankfully feeling much better. There were a few weeks that were rough; this baby likes a very healthy diet. This is a good thing for me. I’m hoping to just change my eating habits altogether. And what a better reward than to not feel sick! Anytime I try to cheat and eat pizza or anything fried I severely pay for it with feeling nauseous and heartburn for hours. And now I am finding myself wanting a nap in the middle of the day. :) We have been very busy with field trips. I will upload pics later. Today Ethan was so excited because he got to touch a real snake, turtle, and Blue Tongue lizard. We also went to a maple syrup class for kids a few weeks ago that was really neat. We are celebrating Ethan’s 6th Birthday tomorrow. I look at him and it just does not seem possible that he is going to be 6. Even though he is at the 97% on his height so he looks more like a 7 year old but when I see him sometimes he is still just this little guy sucking on a pacifier and carrying around this soft animal we called Lou the Lamb. I still have Lou tucked away with a few of his important baby things. Emma is the complete opposite she is only at 5% on her height so all the 3 year olds are about her size. But she will be 5 years old next month. It’s just amazing to think they are only 13 months apart when you just look at them. We are taking Ethan and Emma to an aquarium in Dubuque for part of his birthday, so he’s excited. And this Sat. he will have his birthday party with his friends. So I am going to have to start my deep cleaning on the house today. But I find I just don’t want too. I think Mario is ready for the nesting phase of this preg. It's kind of a joke because I went crazy with Ethan and Emma. Mario likes to remind me of how crazy I went cleaning everything and room in our house with my "big" tummy. Mario has been sick with an acute sinus infection and bronchitis so he has been out of it the last few days but is thankfully feeling better today. I have my 13 week doctor’s appt. next week and Emma’s dance rehearsal studio practice along with a couple of eye appointment’s so next week will be pretty hectic. Emma’s very excited about her dance recital. Her costume is very cute. She is dancing to the song Do You Love Me. The girls all have worked so hard. I will take lots of pictures next week at the rehearsal. Have a great week. ~Amy
