Visit and milestones

This week Evelyn was able to push herself to sitting. She can now roll both ways well and sit up. She is still SOOOOOO close to crawling but just has not do it yet. She is unhappy in any of the 'containers' that we have for her and would much rather just sit on the floor surrounded by toys. As long as she is content we are happy. She is eating lots of foods as long as they are pureed smooth. Any lumps and she gags and turns red and it is really quite a scene.

We had a wonderful visit from Grandma and Papa starting March 16 'til the 24. The kids would have been happy if Grandma and Papa had just announced they were staying here for good. The weather was fine and we were able to go to several parks and play in our backyard. We made it down to the city to wonder around and stop in a bookstore there so G & P could spoil the kids with lots of books. There were many highlights but I think what J, M and E loved the best was 1 - always having at least 1 adult to themselves at all times, 2 - listening to G&P read lots and lots of stories, 3 - playing games and taking walks with G&P. I should add that Joshie was thrilled to play Papa's iphone games at any chance he could get.

We are looking forward to Easter Sunday, eggs and candy. Today the kids made egg shaped sun catchers out of contact paper and tissue. The weather has been lovely so Joshie has been helping me to plant seeds. We will be dying eggs tomorrow and going to church and dinner at MeMaw's on Sunday. It will be a nice weekend and the girls have the sweetest dresses to wear for church :-)
