Easter Pic
Easter
Today was one of my favorite days with Lizzy. She didn't sleep great last night (but I did see today she broke the skin of three new teeth last night so that could explain it!!!) but she LOVED Easter. I'm embarrassed to admit that we took her to the church nursery for the very first time today. She's gone to "big church" with us but is now at an age where sitting still and quiet for more than 1.5 minutes is not an option. So, she went to the nursery.
I was a little apprehensive about how it would go. She been very clingy lately, and I wasn't sure she'd like Sunday school once she realized Rob and I weren't staying. But, Lizzy walked in that room like she'd been there every Sunday of her life. Didn't shed one tear as we left! In fact, when we picked her up she tried to wiggle free to go back in and play some more. I couldn't be more thrilled.
As soon as we left church we met Mimi and Uncle Gates at the Argyle for lunch. Lizzy loved visiting with the Easter bunny and getting her picture taken. However, she didn't quite get the whole concept of picking up the eggs during the egg hunt. She was much more interested in what all of the other children were doing (she didn't seem to notice that what the other children were doing was picking up eggs!!!). Lizzy had a great lunch with my family and especially enjoyed the cheesy potatoes (she also decided to condition her hair with them as well).
After a nap we met Honey and GDaddy up at the SACC to go swimming. Sweet Aunt Lizzy even came up too. Lizzy was very excited to get to show off her "swimming skills" (aka: splashing in the water, getting in and out of the baby pool 100 times, etc). Her grandparents were so sweet to come out to watch her.
Lastly, we finished off our very busy day with an engagement party for our good friends Helen and Paul! They got engaged on Friday and everyone's been waiting for this for so long that we couldn't wait to throw a party!! I happened to have set Helen and Paul up on their first date so we weren't about to miss this celebration! Even Lizzy came along! We tried to teach her for her first word to be "FINALLY" to say to Paul but she didn't go for it! Just teasing!
Sweet Lizzy was so worn out when we got home she could barely sit up to get her PJs on. I know she will sleep well tonight and so will her Mommy. It was such a great day. Very busy and exhausting but my sweet little girl looked so precious in her Easter dress with her baby pearls on. She looked so cute with her Easter basket, running around the house. She was so excited but didn't really know why. Seeing the joy of a child can't be beat. It melted my heart. It really hit me today to think that Christ feels that for each of us, but even more than we could ever imagine.

Renewed Effort
So I am making a renewed effort to actually write on the blog more than once every three months or so! I love the idea of using the blog as a way to share with family and friends what is going on in our lives as well as have a record for myself of all the great things God is doing in our lives and His faithfulness.
Lizzy is turning 14 months old this week. I truly wonder where the time has gone! She is such a little PERSON now with definite likes and dislikes. She finds some things funny and some things annoying. She has facial expressions to match all of her feelings! She's starting to walk and couldn't be more proud of every step she takes. We jokingly call her "Lizzy the Lion" and when we do, she literally makes a roaring sound. She thinks it is hilarious (and we do too)! I can't wait for her to start talking- I want to know what is going on in that little head of hers!
Rob has been busy with all of the upcoming Fiesta events. "Each recurring springtime..."! He works so hard on his real job; I admire his willingness to take on so much else. I know it's been hard on him lately not being as home as often as he'd like to see Lizzy. But, Fiesta will be over soon, and we'll be back to normal (aka boring) around here!
We decided a few weeks ago to put our house on the market. We've had lots of showings but no offers yet. I am praying for God's will to be done and that if it's supposed to sell, it will be in His timing, not mine. His timing always works out so much better.
All in all, we are doing well. I write this with a thankful heart tonight.
Love,
Katherine
