Happy Easter!

Hope you all are having a nice Easter weekend. Ours has been a bit wet, so we haven't been outside much, but we did get a lot done in the house.

We spent part of Saturday and Sunday setting up the furniture in the baby's room. I'll post more pictures once it's a bit tidier - right now I am in the midst of organizing the closet, and there are things all over the fold-out couch we have left in there. The bed is a combination crib and change table that converts into a 'big kid bed', and I'm really happy with it. And it's great to have both the couch and crib fit into the room - now I have a place to feed the baby at night, or even sleep in there when we have guests. We also did a big cleanup and hung some more photos and frames in the living room. I love how the house is become more ours every day. Now we just need to install the light fixtures we bought earlier in the month and it will really feel homey. Still can't believe we have bare bulbs in more than half the rooms. Oh well, there's always something to do around the house, and I like it that way. (like hemming and hanging the curtains in our bedroom, or hanging more photos and frames etc. etc. )

Looking at all the pieces for the baby's bed

"Helping" Daddy

What do you mean, I'm in the way? This is where I
shoud be!

Aimy has been as adorable as usual lately (as can be seen in the photos, of course!) She was not very cuddly  when she was small - in fact, she would often squirm away if she thought we were getting too close - but now she loves to snuggle with us, and she gives kisses all the time without being asked, especially if I am singing to her. She loves songs with finger actions and sometimes tries to do them too, though she's usually content to watch. Whenever I finish singing, she immediately says her baby version of "Again? Again?" Makes me smile every time. And she loves my Russ teddy bear (it's actually named Cocoa but I called it Russ) and will kiss it and hug it tightly and talk to it when she has it in her arms. Makes me happy that she loves something that used to be mine, even if she doesn't know it.

Otherwise, we made a traditional lamb dinner tonight and had the obligatory cake for Easter (they are everywhere here, especially when it's a special occasion), and both were delicious.

Joyeuses Pâques! Happy Easter!
