This was the first weekend since #2's arrival that we've felt fully functional as a family. Joel had Good Friday off of work and we went on a picnic at the park. Marie's quite the little monkey climber these days, and it was fun to watch her play on some of the toys that she has never been able to before. On Saturday we went to the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences (basically a bunch of skeletons and taxidermied animals, with a few life fish/bugs and a sloth mixed in). Good stuff, though. And, unfortunately, Joel had to go to church by himself today since Marie's got a bit of a cold - again. Her 2 year molars are coming in so her hand has been in her mouth a lot lately. Combine that with shopping carts, museums and cold/flu season and you have a sick little girl. She's not too bad, though. We still had a wonderful Easter Sunday. Marie and I stayed home and watched The Passion for Kids, which I highly recommend. Very good. And then we colored her new Bible Story coloring book and talked about how Jesus died on the cross for us all and rose again to forgive us of our sins. She is very interested in Jesus and the Bible, which is exciting! And some friends from church brought us Easter dinner! Can't beat that.

Here is a photo overload for those who are interested. Mostly my mom, I suppose :-)
