Brandon's Puppy

Hoppy Easter!!

Some people suggested earlier today that I update the blog, since I haven't done so in about a week, so here is a quick re-cap of the last few days.

We took the boys for portraits on Monday afternoon. We did not get a nice picture of the two of them together, but we did get a great one of Matt laughing, and Brandon's 4-year-old portraits, which were a couple of months overdue, came out excellent. When I receive them, I will post them and scan them for your viewing pleasure.

On Tuesday, I took Matt for his 2-month well check visit. He weighs 10 pounds, 4 ounces, and is 22 and 1/4 inches long, 25% for both. He's quite bigger than Brandon was at this age. AFter the appointment, we went to pick up my hubby. My power steering was acting funny, so he dropped my car off at the dealer after he left work.

Wednesday was spent at home cleaning and paying bills, until my sister came by and we walked to Brandon's school to pick him up, then kept walking for another half hour before it began to rain. We've been trying to walk at least twice a week while I'm on maternity so we can both return to our glorious, pre-pregnancy bodies (?!?!). We'll see if that happens before I go back to work.

Thursday was a busy, busy day. Hubby and I went to pick up the car before he headed to work. Afterwards, I had to go to the office for a little while to take care of a couple of matters. Matt and I then met up with my sister and ran some Easter-related errands. Even though I was quite tired, I got home, took the stroller out of the car, and walked to Brandon's school to pick him up. Go me!!

Yesterday was a treat for Brandon, since I allowed him to play hooky from school. His cousin Mikey attends a private school, and they did not have class on Friday (and will be on break this coming week), so we spent the day with my sister, the two boys, her cousin's son, and another friend of ours and her two boys. We took them to an indoor play area at a nearby mall, then my sister and I took the boys for their Easter bunny portraits. It didn't turn out so great, but it is their first bunny picture together, so it's a keeper. (look below the fold for the pic of the boys). Brandon might be lucky enough to miss school on Monday as well. Weather permitting, we're all going to the zoo!

Today was a bit crazy. We went to a birthday party, then my grandmother's house for a pre-Easter egg hunt with my mom (we won't be seeing them tomorrow), then went to do groceries for our little Easter brunch tomorrow morning.

You can see why the blog has been ignored, but for good reason. I'll be back next week on a more regular basis, but for now, we wish you all a wonderfully blessed Easter, or Passover, or a non-denomational weekend. Have a great one, no matter what you celebrate!
