Random Thoughts...
I wish I could post my Easter pictures today, but there was not time to download them.
Addie says Mama and Dadda! It's so adorable, I love that she's babbling and saying words. She talks mostly when no one is looking at her and she's playing alone and when she's being changed on the changing table.
Addie is wearing 12 month clothes. She still fits into 9 month, but they are a bit snug. I broke down and put Addie in an adorable dress for Easter. I had purchased a springy pant outfit, but decided at the last minute to be impractical and put on tights!
Jackson has had a really great week of listening and I am so proud of how much he is helping out. Yesterday at the Easter gather he had some moments... he bullied his much bigger cousin Luke and got in hot water! Grrr. But he was without a nap and had far more sugar than any little one should.
Ron's dad is failing and needs 24 hour care. This means that we have lost our great babysitter, Grandma Jan, for now. We have a new nanny that we are trying out starting next week. She'll work for us most of the day and Grandma Jan will take over for the last couple hours of the day. This arrangement will work until Jackson's old teacher is done with school at St. Ben's... she'll be taking over for the summer.
We are lucky to have great family members. Mom, Bill, Mell and Terry came over this weekend and helped us with yard work. The previous owners of our home did not keep up with the bushes and trees, so there was a lot of work to be done. I feel so relieved to get help with the major things and now we'll be able to keep up along the way. It's so hard to get big projects like this done with two little ones.
When the MN Rollergirls start up again next season... you should go. What fun, it's a hoot.
Jackson likes to bake. When asked "would you rather watch a t.v. show or bake with mom?" he bakes with mom. I was hoping a bit that he would choose to watch a show so I could get the baking done with less mess, but he's always fun to have in the kitchen.
Baseball season has begun. Jackson told us during the first exhibition game that he was a "Cardinal Fan" Uh? HELLO? THIS house is a Twins house. Any Cardinal fans want a three year old boy?

It was fun to work in your yard and see the changes that can be made in a couple hours with so many people helping.
Addie did look adorable in her Easter dress and it was so much fun watching Jackson hunt for Easter eggs.
