Easter Egg Hunt Pictures

We had a lovely time Good Friday having a Easter Egg Hunt at the Webb's (my parent's) house.
Aunt Debby hid nearly 100 easter eggs that were contributed by everyone for the kids to hunt for. Nate, Cassie (my niece), & I (Sally - hunting on Rachel's behalf since she was napping) had lots of fun searching for Easter eggs. Aunt Debby gave each of her nieces & her nephew cute fun-filled Easter baskets with candy, scented bubbles, a small Easter stuffed animal, & much more. Mommy (Sally) then went to have a nice lunch @ Olive Garden with a good friend from church while Daddy & the kiddos hung out @ the Webb's. We also - before the easter egg hunt - I did a spiritual thought/ message about the true meaning of Easter using the "Ressurection Eggs."

Hope you enjoy the pics!

The Making of A Sane Mother

It has finally happened - I feel I have offically gone now from being a insane, overwhelmed, & at times expasarated mother of two youngsters now almost 14 months (Rachel) & almost 3 years (Nate) to now feeling sane, happy, & loving every minute of motherhood & it's adventures! I have whole-heartedly decided now that I plan to homeschool Nate through at least kindergarten & am quite excited by the possiblities that opens for us as mother & son. I will also do the same with Rachel.

Nate has now become a very obedient child - not just for others but me - a HUGE leap for us! He also has outrightly expressed the desire to learn to go potty like a big boy so I plan to have him potty-trained by the end of the summer. He talks nonstop & with great clarity it is amazing! I can understand most everything he says & he is extremely self-sufficent which is a thrill to watch! I hate to see how he needs me so little now but he is still my cuddly boy like always!

More later, bye for now!
