Easter


We went to an Easter hunt near the park this year. It was pretty packed and pretty warm. Nora got to do her first egg hunt--she was a pro, as one of her interests right now is putting things in other things. 




Spotting the egg...

Going to get it...

Fancy stealth ninja move to secure egg...

Success!

Longest line in the park... for snow cones. John is towards the middle with a blue grey shirt and floppy hat, to the right of the lady with an umbrella. 



As each age group went, the times to complete the egg scrambles got shorter and shorter. Ry was also an egg gathering pro. 

We ran into Katie when they finished. This is an attempt to get two small children who really want to look at their bag of eggs to look at a camera instead. 

Trevor getting ready for his dash. Ry, Nora, and I were sitting off in one of the few shady areas eating our snow cones. Trev's was so fast that when I saw him heading back towards us I thought he missed it or something went wrong because he was coming back so soon







We made the controversial Carter-ish bunny cake. This year the coconut  started to creep onto the head. There was a lot of critique about the lack of black licorice whiskers and the amount of jelly beans. There is talk of John taking over bunny cake production next year... I expect little objection if this movement actually takes place.

Nora was not sure the eggs were worth gathering so early in the morning

For as cute as everyone looked, we were not very photogenic as a group... this was the best shot:


I tried to take pictures of the kids together... also questionable results...


And some attempts at the boys all together: 



And the girls:

Nora's Stats and Tricks

Nora had her 1 year appointment and is keeping up with the boys.

Weight: 21.9lb-- slightly over 50th%tile
Length: 30.5 in-- slightly over 75th%tile
Head circumference: 18.5in--90th %tile

I was looking at the boys charts and Ry seems to still be in the lead in all areas at the one year mark--in comparison to Nora he was about two pounds heavier, two inches taller, and his head size an inch longer. Also compared to Nora, Trev was about a pound lighter, an inch shorter, but pretty close in head size.






And she's been working on her walking skills lately:
