Wade rolls over!

We are all sitting on the floor in the living room: Sunny is wrestling with daddy, I am writing on the laptop, baby Wade is 'talking'. Then he screeches and rolls from his back to his tummy. Yay! And then one minute later, he rolled over onto his back again. I am very excited about this because I thought since he is almost 20 pounds and a bit chubby (he is 4 months and wearing 6-12 months clothing), it may take him longer to conquer this milestone :) It is amazing how quickly the kids are growing right before our eyes.

Spring Break 2009 Part II

After we left the L'Amie/Ellis clan, we went South to Stuart to see the Stephans. Stuart,Uncle Kenny, Uncle Mikey and Aunt Teri (and the cousins), Aunt Molly, Uncle Jim and a bunch of Germans got to meet Wade for the first time! We went on the boat with Opa, Cole and Wyatt; played at Kenny's house, had an Easter Egg Hunt and brunch at Teri and Mike's; swam in Oma and Opa's pool (Wade's first time in a pool); and had a second egg hunt at Oma's!!!! Also, we took the new minivan on it's first road trip. Although I have not totally accepted the fact that I drive a minivan, I LOVE IT!!!!

Strawberry Pickin'

We went Strawberry Picking this week with our friends, Andy and Julie. I thought Sunny would do all the picking but she was over it after five minutes ... then she wanted to see the chickens. So with all 18 pounds of Wade strapped to the front of me, I filled two baskets full of berries. My back and legs were so sore the next day!

Spring Break 2009

Spring Break used to bring up memories of bikinis, late nights and possibly a beer bong. This trip I would have given $1 Million to be able to go to bed at 9 pm and not wake up until 9 am. And the thought of anything containing alcohol only made my throat hurt worse. Mine how times have changed! We all arrived in Fl with a nasty cold and everyone was feeling about 90% better by the time we left 9 days later.
We spent lots of time with Crys, Nick and Brett, a little time with Grandpa, Susu, Grant, Mom and Poppie. This was the first time Brett, Grandpa (& the kids) and Poppie got to see baby Wade. We also went to mom friend's, John and Joanne, and fed some pelicans and then they fed us!

Easter Egg Hunt at Sunny's school

Sunny was sick the whole week before Spring Break. She even went to the doctor the day of the egg hunt. Her teacher, Ms. Cayla, convinced me that it would be okay to bring her for the hunt and lunch. Here she is hunting and with her best friend, Ansley.
