Easter weekend


What a gorgeous Easter weekend! We were happy to share the weekend with Gram and Gpa (otherwise known as Jim and Mom). We spent Saturday afternoon at the park pushing Libby in the swings, going down the slide and pushing the stroller. It was a lot of fun! Libby loves the park and loves watching the other children. Craig hadn't had the opportunity to push her on the swings yet so it was his mission for the weekend. Libby squealed with delight from her bucket swing and Craig looked like he was having fun too.



Sunday, we attempted to change Libby's napping schedule by getting her up early and playing hard all morning but to no avail. Craig and I went to church and Libby slept soundly in her crib while her grandparents babysat. The service was wonderful and best of all, Carson Linkous was an angel throughout the entire service and for his Baptism!! He looked beautiful in his Christening gown and tolerated his water and oil bath like a champion! The stunned look on his mother's face was wonderful. After church, Libby, Gram and Gpa joined us and we took family pictures by the azaleas. A family tradition. There are many pictures of me and my brother in our Easter outfits standing in front of the blooming azaleas in the yard. There is even a bump picture in front of the azaleas from last Easter. Since our yard only has small, young bushes, we headed for one of the local parks.

After pictures, we had lunch at the Linkouses house. They had a wonderful luncheon in honor of Carson's Baptism. We enjoyed visiting with Michelle and Stephen's families and with our friends. A wonderful weekend!
