Be warned: the new blog is a mix of family stuff, favorite things and political rants. Because I can't control myself.

Is there a support group for this?

Because I am totally hooked on Mad Men (HBO series).

...one of several explanations for my lack of productivity.

About a week ago I started a new Bible study by Vicki Courtney called The Virtuous Woman: Shattering the Superwoman Myth.....amazing! She goes through each of the qualities listed in Prov. 31 and breaks them down into a week long study (for example: one week on fearing the Lord, wisdom, being a woman of purpose, etc.) and discusses what that means in today's world. It's perfect for moms because it addresses the situations and feelings that we go through every day.

This week the focus was understanding our worth in God's eyes rather than trying to be what the world tells us to be--such a tough but much needed lesson!

Anyway, I thought I'd share because I always have a hard time finding the next Bible study that will really relate to my life and help me grow. You can order it from lifeway.com

Easter Weekend

We kicked off Easter weekend by going to the big Raleigh Easter egg hunt downtown. There were A TON of kids there, a band, a few inflatables...and maybe 1 easter egg for every 10 kids. uncool. I thought we may have a disaster on our hands after he didn't get any eggs; but once he got inside an inflatable, we were good to go.

I think Easter baskets may be his love language...

We may have been 15 minutes late to church; but I did get the picture I wanted!

...this one on the other hand...ugggh! Is it too much to ask for him to smile sweetly when I get in the picture? All of the pictures of us together are like this! I think he knows it makes me crazy.

After church we ran home and iced the bunny cake.

Pez dispensers are his other love language...

Then we headed over to my parent's house and met up with them, John, Ashley, and Leah who is now a walker--she was toddling all over the place...isn't she a cutie?

Then Baylor got to re-do the easter egg hunt thing. This time he found all the eggs :)

...which made him a happy boy!

If you plant jellybeans...

Lollipops grow!

Don't make fun...I'm clearly in need of activities to keep this little one busy. Any and all suggestions are welcome, particularly those that come from former nannies, preschool teachers, etc. (got that....Jenn, Lorren, Candace, Brittainy?)
