{another update}

We had our neighborhood garage sale a couple of weeks ago. While I HATE having garage sales, I LOVE getting rid of all my crap with the added bonus of making money! This year Gerard joined in on the fun by having his first lemonade stand. And Morgan helped by just looking cute.



Morgan made her first poopy in the potty! It was more of a fluke than anything else, but we were proud nonetheless.

Morgan's 2nd birthday celebrations continued with a little party on her actual b-day. First she opened presents from us and the we had some friends over for cake and ice cream after dinner.













Tee-ball season is well underway. Hockey just ended yesterday, so Gerard can concentrate on one sport again. He's loving it, just like he did last year. Big Gerard is one of the coaches this year which means more work for him, but he's having a great time, too. It's also more work for ME since I have to watch the game AND watch Morgan by myself! Not quite as relaxing since she wouldn't DREAM of sitting in the stoller for an entire game! (Once again, please forgive the blurred-out photos. You know how neurotic I am!)











I'm almost caught up now! One more update tomorrow and we should be all set. Thanks for your patience with me!

{more pictures}

My parents came to visit at the end of March/beginning of April. Gerard's spring break coincided with their visit, so Grandma and Grandpa helped keep him busy. My dad and I took Gerard to the nature center one day during his vacation to see a birds of prey program.


They were also here for the sedar. Aunt Debbie sent the kids decorate-your-own sedar plates, which Gerard couldn't wait to get his hands on. I think it turned out nicely, don't you?


Here are some pictures from Passover, including Gerard reading from the Hagaddah and later finding the afikomen:







We also celebrated Morgan's 2nd birthday a little early with Grandma and Grandpa. Morgan really enjoyed her cake, don't you think?




The rest of the crazy gang:










Next installment tomorrow!
