Spring is Here!

Well yesterday was the 1st day of spring but you wouldn't know it as we have woke up the past 2 mornings to a dusting of light snow! However, it didn't take long for the sun to start shining. Annika is getting bigger by the minute. She is starting to smile when you talk to her vs. when she just passes gas, ha, ha. She is also cooing and making noises and noises that are more pleasant that is rather than just crying! She is awake a lot more during the day which allows for more play time, but she still has a day here and there where all she wants to do is SLEEP. She doesn't like to sleep in her bed during the day she would much rather sleep in her little papasan chair out in the living room--therefore she doesn't sleep soundly, but it allows me to get a few things done like brush my hair and teeth, etc. Sometimes even shower.

I have been catchin quite a bit of slack for not posting anything this week--but again we are just not that interesting :-). I guess I could talk about our family highlight of the week: Tuesday night we got out of the house and went to a Bingo night at the H.S.. The evening was proof that I have been inside too much for I was really getting into it! It was almost scary! But Annika was really good and was quiet and content sitting on our laps as we furiously dabbed away!

Yesterday we had a special visitor. My friend Shae from here in Redmond came home for a visit. She got married in September and moved to Georgia to live on her husband's family ranch. It was her first time to meet Annika. We went to lunch and hung out at the house for a bit. It was nice to catch up. She is staying with her sister and it turns out her sister lives on the other side of our back fence! Small world.

This morning Annika got her picture taken with the Easter Bunny--she practically slept through the whole thing! I don't have a scanner otherwise I would post it. But Monday morning I should have pics of her in her Easter dress.

Hope you all have a great weekend and are enjoying your first few days of Spring!
