Easter!

(narrated by Mommy)

For the boy who loves eggs and hiding, this was probably the best holiday yet.

Here's a shot of our 35 colored eggs, ready to be hidden by the Easter Bunny.
As emergency vehicles top Jack's list along with trains, we couldn't not make a police car egg.

Ready to go egg hunting!

Ready... set... go! Our backyard was the site of a 74-egg hunt for a bunch of our friends. You can barely make out Jack's stripes as he is nearly trampled in the stampede. Awesome!
Egg Hunt, Take 2! Jack requested an egg hunt the next morning, so he got one of his very own. Bets are still out on who had more fun... Jack finding eggs, or the "Easter Bunny" hiding eggs. Apparently the Easter Bunny can't wait until Jack is older and can make even more challenging hunts.

Missed one!

But made up for it by looking UP -- a good strategy when the Easter Bunny likes to get tricky.

Easter basket loot.

More loot.

Two very special Easter trains from Nana Peggy and Grampa Kent. Thank you!!!

Enjoying the easter candy and trains from Nana and Pa.

Ah, yet another holiday marked by consumerism and lost religion... we'll take it!! Cheers.

...and we're back!

Mommy says that we've surfaced from the depths of the un-bloggable, now with a job secured, a house on the market, grand rounds complete and an almost-2-yr-old on our hands (that's me!).



For this return to the blogosphere edition, a special shout-out to my friend, Will, with whom I got to play last weekend. He is teaching me about the new responsibilities that I will face being 2. Here, the subtle nuances of train driving.
I'm catching on!

Here, Will is teaching me that it IS ok to be the rider once in awhile (I usually PUSH the car). I'm not convinced. Mommy, however, looks thrilled.

I'm also very lucky that my friend Will has outgrown his toddler car bed. He gave it to me!! (thanks to Will's Mommy and Daddy!!) Here I am hamming it up by my new bed.

Organizing all my stuffed friends in my new bed is thrilling.

Organizing receipts in my new bed is more serious, apparently.

Intensity.

Finally, in honor of easter, I thought I'd cook up an egg in the handy-dandy egg cooker.

Eggs apparently sleep peacefully when they get cooked.

More to come. We promise!!! ;)
