look ma, no hands!!
We’re cracker eating professionals! That is until we decided we don’t like food we have to chew. Now, we just put it in our mouth to humor mom and then stick our tongue out until it falls off.
Nice.
And I just had to blog this picture. I was trying to take one of him sitting in the high chair – no flash…when he decided the camera was impeding his view of mama. This explains our life…we’re not happy if we can’t see the mama.

the “easter bunny” visited Ellie the other night and left eggs in our yard. (The eggs were really from Grandma and Grandpa Friesen, but Ellie kept telling us they were from the Easter Bunny.)
What a time she had. The bunny hid most of them in the open, figuring it would still take a while for her to find them…little did we know that she’s a better “finder” than we thought…she whipped right through that egg hunt!
and we’re off!
counting our eggs…good thing we know how to count to twelve!
a full basket!
After the hunt was done, we went inside to the table to open the eggs…from the moment she found the first one, she was excited that there was something in them.
They apparently make the little suckers hard to open. Her expression tells me she’s putting in a lot of effort to open that one little egg.
On a side note…ever since the hunt, she keeps looking out onto our deck and saying “i don’t see any more eggs yet.” I keep telling her that maybe the Easter bunny will visit grandma’s house. I hope grandma is reading this!
We saw the Easter bunny at Wal-Mart today…in the cereal aisle. He gave her a chocolate egg and she blew him a kiss. I think she has a new friend for life!

yesterday morning, we were driving across town to our sitter’s house and Ellie was entertaining the van with her beautiful singing. The song went something like this…”i can sing my song, i can sing my song, i can sing my song…”
You get the picture.
Anyway, it was beautiful and we were a little early, so we went the long way around the loop so we could hear more singing.
About halfway around the loop (3 or 4 blocks strung together), Ellie stops and says “i’m gonna save the rest in my mouth until we get to jean’s house.” I smiled and told her i thought her singing was beautiful and that’s why i went the long way – to hear more. And she replied “okay..but I’m saving the rest for jean…in my mouth.”
