Happy Easter!!

Andrew didn't take too long to find his basket...


...and Nolan did pretty well also.




The Easter Bunny left them tons of candy, trucks, balls and even a new sippy cup!



Lola was into it too!



And it's off to our own egg hunt!



Andrew found tons of eggs, even the ones that the bunny hid cleverly...



...while Nolan was meticulous in his search.



Searching for the candy!



Ummmm, Nolan stuffed a little too much chocolate into his mouth.



And loved it!



Do you think Andrew enjoyed opening up his eggs???

Return of the Easter Egg Hunt

Elizabeth had to hold Nolan back from busting out and grabbing a basket!



Nope, that's not the basket I want...



Nah, not that one either....


THIS is the one I want!



And in the 3 & 4 year old hunt, Andrew was so excited that he stumbled out of the gate.



But he got it together and started gobbling up the eggs.




Andrew checks the merchandise while his friend Elsie lunges towards some fresh eggs.


I think they were looking to make a trade.



It was pretty muddy out there. Nolan obviously found some if it. Elizabeth lifted him away like a shopping bag to get him out of it!

Easter Egg Hunt Part 1

Nolan gets a kick out of watching all of the kids two and under running around like crazy to pick up their easter baskets. Tomorrow will be a full post of all of the pictures from the hunt.

Get out of the way!!

Nolan swoops past Nick and "The Mystery Machine" while playing trucks in Cleveland.

Slip slidin away

Nick, Doug and Andrew enjoyed a beautiful day in Cleveland by wearing out the slide over and over.


Nolan was very interested in watching the fun.

Toooo cool

Chattanooga Choo Choo!!

On our way back from Florida we stopped in Chattanooga, Tennesseee to see the world famous train. We learned later, unfortunately, that the actual Chattanooga Choo Choo is housed in a different part of the city adjacent to a Holiday Inn!??!? I guess you can sleep in rooms that are actually part of the train.

Anyway. This was the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum, and the kids LOVED it!



No, there is nothing wrong with his face. he was just smooshing it against the glass.




About the only way I can get Nolan to stop crying was to toss him up and down.



Andrew was pretty much mesmerized during the entire ride.



Cheezin for the camera.



How cute is HE!!




Nolan held onto his new train for the rest of the trip.

A little Uncle Steve lovin'

Zoo Part Two

We've been way behind on blogging but we are getting caught up now that we are back from Cleveland, we have a lot of pictures to show, including finishing up from our trip to Florida. Here are the rest of the highlights from the Palm Beach Zoo.



The monkey didn't seem too fazed, but Nolan was a bit freaked out!



Andrew greeting a Peacock.



No cameras, please!



He doesn't look too excited, but Andrew was thrilled that he got to pet an alligator.
