Easter morning

Happy Easter!  We spent Easter at our house after a couple days of uncertainty.  My Mom is having a pancreatitis flare up and is at U of M.  Unfortunately she couldn't come home for Easter, but hopefully soon!  My Dad was able to join us for Easter lunch along with Tim.  Jenny was sick with the flu.  We enjoyed celebrating Christ's resurrection at our church.  I love hearing my kids singing along with some of the songs.

Nate is off for the week and has been tackling home projects.  He started to sand down the grout on our bathroom tile floor so he could re-grout it.  However, the tiles started cracking and popping up.  He then had to rip up the tiles, replace some of the wood underneath the floor and install new tiles.  Nothing like an afternoon job turning into a 3 day job!  Our bathroom looks really nice though.

Stephen started rice cereal a couple weeks ago.  I couldn't figure out why he wasn't napping well during the day.  As soon as I gave him cereal he started napping great, poor kid was hungry!  Right now we are trying to let him cry it out during the night, a frustrating experience.  He can make it from 10 pm- 6:30 am, but lately he's been waking at 5 am and just crying til I feed him at 6:30.  Maybe he's starting the teething process?  Who knows.  At his 4 month visit he was 18 lbs, 11 oz which puts him in the 89th percentile.  He was 26 inches and in the 75th percentile.  He grew alot since his 2 month checkup! 

We had parent teacher conferences for the boys.  Caleb helped lead his conference and showed us the work he's been doing.  His cursive is so neat and he just learned it the past couple of months!  Both of the boys were described as joys to have in the classroom, hard workers who were liked by everyone, and kind.  Obviously we want our kids to do well academically, but it makes us so happy to hear about their character.  Julia didn't have conferences, but we've heard good reports from her teacher as well.  That she is kind to her classmates and listens well.
