Spring is Here!

Wow, I love the weather.  Spring is here and the weather is so beautiful.  Yesterday Ethan, Julia, and I went to the park before dinner.  When we got to the park, we were surprised because it was actually a little bit chilly.  Nevertheless, Julia loved it!  :)  She was kicking her legs in excitement almost the whole time.  It seems like she really enjoys the outdoors (and also loved the attention she was getting from Mommy & Daddy...).  I will have to take her to the park more often.

My good friend, Angie, had her baby.  His name is Joshua.  He's such a cute little boy!  It was amazing holding a newborn baby again.  How quickly I have forgotten how small Julia was.  When I was holding him, I was thinking to myself, "I can't even remember Julia being so small!"  Yet, Julia was even smaller...  Anyway, it was fun meeting him.  Congrats, Angie!

Ethan surprised me a few weeks ago.  He told me, "I have an idea for dinner but I want it to be a surprise."  In the car I closed my eyes so it would be a total surprise.  When I opened my eyes, we were at Jared & Lisa's house (Ethan's brother and sister-in-law).  It was Wednesday night - America Idol night!  Yay!  I love watching American Idol, but since we don't have t.v., I just watch YouTube to get my American Idol fix...  So, I was super excited when I found out we would get to watch it live.  Ethan had ordered pizza, so we ate pizza and watched the show with Jared's family.  Fun times!  Jared & Lisa have been kind enough to extend the invitation to watch it each week since then.  :)

Ava & Julia.  So cute!

Julia is becoming more "mobile."  When she woke me up in the morning to eat, here she was sideways in her bassinet!  I guess it's probably time for her to not sleep in the bassinet anymore (she sleeps in the crib during the day but I prefer to have her in the bassinet next to our bed at night...)  Excuse her scary eyes (the flash was bright).

When I layed in her crib for a nap, she was not sideway.  Funny girl!  Atleast in her crib she has room to lay sideways.
