Fevers and Swine..s

This week has been a tough one. As I am coming off the worst days of being sick last week, Anna is in the middle of it, and Ashley is at the beginning. On top of that, Ash is investigating the Swine Flu outbreak cases and I am working from home and running Daddy Day Care as normal daycare rejects little girls with high temperatures.

Promise we will be back in action and have more fun posts soon!

Easter weekend with Omi and Grampallen

For Easter weekend and my mom's birthday, she and Allen headed up to 'lanter for a visit. These pictures are from their camera, so naturally, you will not find any in which my mom actually appears. They took Anna out for the day on Friday, while mommy and daddy worked away. Though they had to do a bit of rain dodging, they managed to have a wonderful day with Nanner.

One of my favorite faces she makes caught on camera!

Mommy trying to convey the concept of smelling flowers, though flowers with scent would probably help the process. Easter cupcake.....she still won't tear in like her baby brethren. It seems that, like daddy, she's "tidy".

Aquarium and Easter!

Last weekend, we decided to take advantage of our yearly pass to the Aquarium and take a trip to see the fishies! Anna loves to watch them swim around, and as she gets older, is starting to really give us a sense of her favorites... she loves the tropical fish area, as well as the glowing jellyfish. Here are a few shots from inside:

Whale Shark!

And this past weekend, as we know was Passover/Easter. On Thursday, we went to a Seder with our neighbors/friends Lee and Felicia at a friend of their's house. It was a large group and we enjoyed really good food and really great company. Anna did pretty well, only outbursting a few times with 'BAH!' during the prayer reading.

And then on Sunday, it was Easter. Angie and Allen were in town, so we had a nice Easter breakfast, where Anna got some special treats, including a cake/icing/coconut egg thingy that she seemed to enjoy (eating and getting on her face). Here are a couple shots:

And then Sunday afternoon we headed up to Nonna and Cart-Cart's for some fun in the park... we had a good time playing on the playground and Anna actually wore her sunglasses for a short time!

Random Anna Video!

Wanted to share a quick video of Anna over the last couple of months. In this clip, Anna walks with her Cart-Cart on the beach at St. George Island, shows her manners at the dinner table (with a little direction from Dad), and plays the best game in the world at that age (peek-a-boo).

Note: the peek-a-boo game had been happening for about 5 minutes before I got the camera, and ended about 10 minutes after I stopped recording. If you have kids, you know what I'm talking about.

Enjoy!
