Easter, Sticker Sunday Morning, and Prego Update

We decided to take it pretty easy this Easter, mainly because I didn't have the energy to make a big deal about it.  But we did have the family party and here is the beginning of the hunt:


On with the hunt!!!  Asher did a pretty good job of finding the eggs, and then proceeded to open them and eat the contents rather than search for more eggs.  Seriously - why leave the goods for the possibility of more goods in the future???  The boy is wise beyond his years.

It was tough going for a while, we gathered very few eggs.  However, we got plenty to keep him hyper for at least a week.
And here are the kiddos with their hauls.  I think it only took about 25 pictures to get them all smiling and looking in the same general direction.  And, yes, this is what you get. :)


And, just for funsies, here is a picture of our little family before we add baby Vanna to the group. 

That was our low-key Easter.  No special outfits.  No major gifts.  Nothing really that amazing, just a small lesson about what Easter is all about, a fabulous family dinner and memories that will hopefully last a lifetime. 

On a side note, we had a fun family Sunday morning that involved stickers and I couldn't resist sharing the evidence: 


Dad played too, but his evidence makes him look high so I decided to hide that for future blackmail. :)

And finally, I don't have any pictures on the pregnancy issue, obviously, because it just isn't pretty.  However, I can say that we are nearly to the "safe" period of 37 weeks.  It has been a rough go, and the end isn't any easier than the rest of the 8 1/2 months.  I've been having contractions for a few weeks now, and we had a couple near runs to the hospital.  Yet, with it all, still no baby (whew!)

I keep going back and forth on when I think she will finally be joining us.  Asher was 10 days early, and judging by the increased level of contractions I'd guess she will also be early.  However, I think this girl already has a mind of her own, and will likely come when she feels good and ready.  Which translates to: 2 weeks late... :)
