Playing Catch-Up!

Oh goodness, I am so far behind! So much has happened in the last 2 weeks, so I will attempt to briefly sum it all up!

On April 4th we all loaded up and headed to visit Halie in Gainesville, the girls had a great time playing in her neighborhood's pool.

The next day we went to Palm Sunday service at Deidra's church, took the girls to see the Easter bunny and then Halie, Maddi, Sadie and I headed to Palatka to spend a few days with Grandma Jean!

This is proof that Sadie can and will hold her bottle when she wants to, she just rarely wants to!

The next day Grandma Jean took us to the Alligator farm in St. Augustine! We all had a lot of fun checking out alligators and crocodiles up close. Maddi and Halie even got to touch a boa constricter!

In this next picture, Halie and Maddi were standing in front of an albino alligator. As we were taking the picture he started walking towards the glass! Maddi will tell you that he was trying to eat her!

After heading back to Jacksonville with Deidra on Wednesday, we decided to take the girls to the beach on Thursday. It was Sadie's 1st time being let loose to play in the sand! She had a great time, but she kept trying to eat the sand the whole time! YUCK!

On Good Friday we headed to the creek house. While all of the girls were playing with toys on the floor, Sadie pulled up onto her knees for the first time!!

Sunday was Easter. We all went over to Grandma Jean's house for a wonderful Easter feast and the girls had an egg hunt! Maddi found 45 eggs!

Sadie's 2nd tooth broke through!

On Tuesday the girls and I were supposed to fly back to Kansas, but that morning we were hit with a bad storm. We were under a tornado watch, we had strong winds with 60 MPH gusts, we saw hail come down for a few minutes, and we lost power! I took the bad weather as a sign that the girls and I should not be traveling that day, so we cancelled our flights and booked a new flight to come home on the 6th of May, because that is when my parents were going to go to KS to visit us, so now we can all just fly together.

On Wednesday Mom and I took Sadie to the mall and got her ears pierced. I have been putting it off and dreading it because it was very hard on me when I got it done to Maddi. So my mom stayed with Sadie while I took Maddi into a store, and needless to say, now my mom knows why I have been putting it off for so long! It's heartbreaking to see your baby cry SO hard because of something you are causing, but after a loud cry followed by a short nap, Sadie was feeling good and back to her normal, happy self! She looks so adorable in her new diamond earrings!!

Ok, I think I am finally all caught up!!
