Easter

We hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! Michael had a great first Easter. We spent it with Juice, Pa & Uncle Curt in Earth. He looked so handsome for church and just had to leave church once! Thank goodness daddy can calm a boy down. :) It was a great weekend full of golf, rain and taking naps. The Easter bunny even knew where to find Michael! He brought him bunnies and little chicks, some clothes and even left a few eggs.




Michael grinned at his momma with his eyes open for the first time on Monday! Yes, I teared up a bit! He had just eaten and we were just talking. I kissed his forehead and he looked at me and did his little half grin that he does in his sleep. So stinkin' precious. He's starting to hold his head up better and better each day. *Knock on wood* but he is starting to go 3-4 hours at night between snacks! Momma is really enjoying this extra bit of sleep. It's finally starting to be warm enough for us to take walks...unless the wind is blowing 90 miles an hour (gotta love West Texas!). He loves these walks. He starts out awake and a couple houses down, he's out! Thank goodness tax season is over! Daddy got to come home a little early yesterday and go for a walk with us...



Ok, one more sweet Easter picture...

the easter bunny is coming to town!

hoppy easter to you!

one month old

Our baby boy is one month old today! What a great month it has been! I never imagined how life was going to change for us. Everyone tells you that it'll change, but you never really know until you experience it for yourself. You know you are going to love this little guy, but you never imagine you could love him this much. You know you're going to be tired, but you never imagine you'll be this tired. :) You know he's going to be super cute, but you never imagine that he's this dang cute...

What a wonderful weekend we had in Earth! We ended up leaving a day early and thank goodness we did because a blizzard hit on Friday! Wow! We didn't get pictures because it was just way too cold and windy, so we snuggled inside by the fire!

Saturday, my mom's friends had a Meet & Greet shower for Michael. It was so wonderful. Everyone was so kind to come meet Michael and love on him. They also brought tons of gifts for him! So many cute clothes and books and toys and diapers....all great!

Michael finally got to meet his only great-great grandmother!! She was SO excited to meet him!


Here is our 5 generation picture...Grandma Bills, Richard, Pa, Momma & Michael.

This is from the Meet & Greet. Grandma, Momma & Michael, Juice and Noni. Noni (aka Jeanne) is my nother-mother and the Meet & Greet was at her wonderful home. Thanks Noni!


Uncle Curt is giving Michael is first guitar lessons! Michael loved it! He just sat there listening and watching his Uncle Curt. We are so glad Uncle Curt is back in the Panhandle so we can see him more often!


I had to steal me some kisses!


Michael has had his days and nights mixed up a bit this past week, but *knock on wood* he's trying to figure it out now. It's amazing what a few hours (all at one time) can do for a momma! :) We are so hoping that Saturday is a warm, sunny day with no wind because the Indians are playing baseball and Michael wants to go watch them play. Maybe it'll work out. Other than that, this week should be pretty uneventful. I've got my checkup on Thursday and daddy is super busy with tax deadlines....which by the way, we are SO ready for tax season to be over with so we can play more with our daddy!

When you are saying your prayers, please say a little one for Michael's friend Braylee...that she will come into this world healthy and safe!

big growing boy!

Michael's two week checkup was today. He is a growing boy who loves to eat! :) He now weighs 9 pounds and 3 ounces! He did so good at the doctor. She had to stick his foot to do the newborn screening and he only cried a little. Dr. Landry said that everything else looked good. She said that his clogged tear duct will probably come and go. His eye looks a lot better today though.

Thank you to Grandma for going with us today. Michael enjoyed his day out with her! He even took her to Carino's for a lunch date. Then he took her to the mall for a little shopping. Sorry that I slept through our date Grandma!


Needless to say, after a day at the doctor and a little shopping...he was glad to get home to his daddy...
