This morning’s community Easter party had my cheeks literally aching with smiles… about a hundred little kids dressed in their Easter best showed up to make crafts and hunt for eggs. I couldn’t STAND how cute it was. I wanted to take every one of them home with me. Here are some pics of some random cuties…

And, of course, the cutest of them all (who happened to soak up LOADS of attention in her bunny ears…never tried to take ’em off!). I sat her in the grass during the little kids’ egg hunt and could not stop laughing….kids were running all around her, squealing, grabbing eggs, and she just sat there, chowin’ down on her donut hole, happy as ever. She managed to take home one egg–pink, of course. Her First Easter treasure. More goodies tonight…decorating eggs!

So she’s young, but I love the idea of baby buddies… friends she can grow up with, and I’m lucky to have girlfriends that are all having babies within a couple year span…so in the end, there will be a nice baby slew. Oh, a Baby Slew…could it get any better? That’s gunna be my heaven. God’s gunna point to a rocking chair in a monstrous nursery full of babies, and he’s gunna say, “It’s all yours.”

Here’s a sweet, girly pic from our day today which included a real picnic at the park and a trip downtown where we found this cute little gazebo. We were joined by our almost-2-year-old friend Baylee who, at one point today, leaned over, smiled and said to Lainey…”You’re cute.” Hello. Profound. Baylee, you indeed are brilliant.

And, plunkin’ away at another page. These pics have always been some of my favorites….my little heartstring. And that string just grows stronger and stronger every day! I still look at her every day and think, “Is she really mine? Forever?” ‘Tis true!

So, we’re jumping around ‘cuz we went from newborn to 9 months park page, but we’re slowly filling up the book.
