He really DOES pay attention in mass!

Recently, Junior has taken up processing around our house holding the broom I sweep the kitchen floor with high above his head while chanting, "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus..." (Just as the alter servers do when they process the crucifix in at the beginning of mass.)

And yesterday while playing with his Aquadoodle, he takes the pen-like utensil filled with water and swings it around on Daddy and me spraying water on us. He then instructs us to "do this" (as he makes the sign of the cross).

There's nothing like being blessed by a three year old during Easter season!

Gaga's first kiss


I am all for an arranged marriage, especially if it's to this sweet little man! Of course we will have to wait and see, his calling could be to the priesthood!

Easter Weekend

Our Easter weekend started out early Saturday with a surprise visit from Aunt K!!! Daddy knew she was coming in for the weekend, but it was a wonderful surprise for Mommy, Junior and Gaga. Although Junior had been a little under the weather he sure perked up as soon as he saw Aunt K and acted like he was feeling better already.

That evening we put together Aunt K's kite she brought with her and headed to the park to see how it would fly. The adults had a great time trying to keep it up in the air, Junior became disinterested quickly and Gaga didn't know what to think. We then headed to the park for a few minutes and then back home to open special Easter treats from Aunt K!

Easter Sunday Gaga woke up with a fever like Junior had the previous few days. Despite not feeling well she did great at mass, egg hunting in front of our house, visit to the great-grandparents house and more egg hunting. Junior was an expert this year at hunting eggs, finding ones that were more difficult. Gaga didn't do too bad either. Once she realized to find an egg and put it in her basket, she was ready to go. The first one she found she opened it right away! Smart girl! She knew where the good stuff was!

At the great-grandparents house we spent leisurely time eating, visiting and egg hunting once again. We even made it out to a field to try out the kite flying once again.

Aunt K took Monday off from work and spent the morning with us before heading back home. She accompanied us to Junior's baseball class and then out to lunch. The smile on Junior's face during class was from ear to ear as he made sure that Aunt K was watching every move he made. He even showed off as he hit the ball during batting practice harder and further than he ever had before!

We sure enjoyed our weekend with family and Aunt K's visit! Thanks for coming up Aunt K. We love you!
