6 weeks

First I want to wish everyone a Happy Easter! I hope everyone had fun hiding eggs, dressing in their Sunday best, and eating lots of chocolate! But most of all, I hope everyone took time to remember the reason we celebrate Easter. I am so thankful for my Jesus, who sacrificed His life here on earth for ME. And I am so thankful that because of His amazing grace, I will one day live with Him in paradise!

We went to Houston for the weekend to spend Easter with our families there. Saturday we went to Livingston and the kids had so much fun running around and looking for eggs.


Poor Erica had a tough weekend. Her eczema is sooo flared up. She is so so so miserable and just scratches all day long. I felt so bad for her because she just seemed to be so down most of the weekend. She definitely had moments of enjoying herself silly, but I hate seeing her so "off".



Leah loved all the attention she got from the family. She got passed around and couldn't have been happier to have the change of scenery.




And Graham was all boy out there in the country. He ran around and played with dirt and rocks, just like a little boy should! He was so funny at the egg hunt because he found one egg, then he was done! He ran off to show Daddy and didn't feel the need to find anymore eggs! ha!



Saturday evening we went to my brother's new house and saw it for the first time. We got to visit with him, his fiance, and my mom. Then we got to eat BBQ for dinner. I'm sorry, but the BBQ here in San Antonio is NOTHING compared to what we used to eat in Houston. When we lived in Humble, there were 2 places right by our house that had some of the best BBQ ever (Tin Roof and Spring Creek). We thought for sure when we got to SA, there'd be some good BBQ. We were highly disappointed. There are several different places, some better than others, but they don't hold a candle to our old faves. Then my brother told us about this frozen yogurt place where they have all these different flavors and toppings, so we went there afterwards. Sunday morning we got up and went to church at our old church and it was so nice to get to see everyone again and introduce them to Leah! Afterwards we ate lunch at Eric's mom's and then headed home that afternoon. It was a VERY full weekend. We were all exhausted when we got here. The kids all slept til 9:00 or later this morning. Leah even slept a good 6 hour stretch last night!

Leah is 6 weeks old today! And I am now proud to report that she is exclusively nursing during the day! I am still pumping at night, and giving her bottles of expressed milk during the night. I still can't believe this has worked out so well for us! She is growing great and getting so strong!
