Easter Weekend

We had a pretty busy Easter weekend. Actually, our Easter celebration started the week before at an Easter egg hunt at Rolling Oaks Park in Southwest Ranches. On Saturday before Easter we went to another Easter egg hunt at Weston Regional Park. Friendly advice, don't be late to the Weston Easter egg hunt. It starts at 10am sharp and it only lasts about 45 seconds. There were thousands of kids on the 4 baseball fields. On Easter Sunday, we went over to Mimi and Papa's house for another egg hunt. Our festivities concluded at the Greenberg's house for their annual Easter feast. Cindy always has quite the spread. This year she made lamb chops that were amazing.

Here are some highlights:

Brody Learning To Play Golf

Holiday Park has great activities for little kids to learn sports. Currently, Brody is learning to play golf. He loves going to the sessions with all the other kids. The challenge for Brody is that he is a lefty trying to learn to swing righty. Here is a video of his efforts.

Videos of Chase

Here are a couple of recent videos of Chase playing with a kazoo and with his bubbles.  He is pretty easily amused.  Also, there is a funny picture of Chase on our video monitor that shows him looking at a book that he grabbed from his bookshelf in the morning.  It keeps him pretty occupied in the morning.  He stays in bed and finds ways to amuse himself.  He never fusses for us to come get him.

Brody's Birthday

Brody had a great birthday celebration.  It seemed to last for weeks.  He had his party with all of his friends at Bayview Park on Saturday the 12th, then he celebrated his birthday with the family on his actual birthday, finally he celebrated at school on the 16th.  He was very excited to have all of his school friends come to his birthday party.  Thanks to everybody that celebrated with us.

At his annual checkup, he measured in at 40 1/2 inches and 34 1/2 lbs.  This puts him in the 47th percentile for height and 38th percentile for weight.  He also had a couple of shots that he took like a champ.

Brody's Cars Sliding Puzzle

This sliding puzzle was all jumbled up and I was stumped so I gave it to Brody just to keep him occupied for a few minutes. I turned away for 2 minutes and all of the sudden Brody says "I did it." I looked over and was stunned.

Merry Christmas

Brody and Chase had a very Merry Christmas. We started the fun a few days early by visiting with Uncle Tom and Grandma Moran. Grandma Moran is always a gracious hostess. Now we know where Mimi and Mommy get it.

The weekend before Christmas, Grandma and Grandpa Sheffer came down to visit and stayed with us. They are always a big help and it is fun to stay up and chat with the night owls.

On Christmas Eve, Grandma Thomas came over for breakfast and to open presents. We enjoyed Laura's World Famous Baked French Toast (at least it should be world famous). She loves to see the boys open their presents. Brody is so polite. He is even happy and thankful when he is opening clothes that she has bought him.

We went to Christmas Eve Mass at St Anthony's then on to The Costa's for dinner. The boys had a great time playing with Dylan. They are eagerly awaiting his little brother's arrival.

After the boys opened their gifts from Santa Claus, Laura's family came over and we had another batch of her World Famous Baked French Toast. It was a great time. Christmas Afternoon we went over to the Melnicoff House for the Annual Beef Tenderloin Feast which hit the spot as always!
