Easter!

It's Emily's second Easter, and this year we didn't get a lot of pictures.

We don't ever go to the mall, so we didn't think to get a picture made with the Easter Bunny until the day before Easter, and by then there was no way.

I wanted to get some pictures on Easter Sunday, when we were all dressed up, but of course the lovely Texas sky was dropping freezing rain on us...so Emily had to wear a jacket over her sleeveless dress, and by the time we got home it was time for a nap - we skipped her morning nap to go to the middle church service (usually there are only two, there was an extra service this time for Easter.)

I had also hoped to get some pictures at the church - the children's area is painted with trees and flowers, and would make a great backdrop for pictures - but it was packed. There were just too many people coming and going between services, so that was another no-go.

We all still have our Easter clothes, of course - so maybe we can dress up again and re-create Easter (on a sunnier Sunday) and get some pictures then. Meanwhile, the studio photos that we finally got taken will be ready this week, so I'll get those posted as soon as I have them.

New Baby

Our friends Lee & Dana just had a new baby, so we went to Plainview yesterday to see them. Emily was just fascinated! She really liked seeing someone even littler than she is - almost like her baby at home, only this was a really real baby, not a baby doll!

Payge was very little - 5/11, I think, when she was born on the 4th - so we had to make sure Emily was very gentle. She's learning how to be gentle with the puppy at home, so this was good practice.
