Happy Easter

Jelly Bean Prayer

Red is for the blood He gave,
Green is for the grass He made,
Yellow is for the sun so bright,
Orange is for the edge of night.
Black is for the sins that were made,
White is for the grace He gave,
Purple is for the hour of sorrow,
Pink is for the new tomorrow.

A bag full of Jelly beans,
Colorful and sweet,
Is a Prayer...is a promise...
Is an Easter treat!

Easter Parade

Never saw you look quite so pretty before
Never saw you dressed quite so lovely what's more
I could hardly wait to keep our date this lovely Easter morning
And my heart beat fast as I came through the door
For In your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it
You'll be the grandest lady in the Easter parade
I'll be all in clover and when they look you over
I'll be the proudest fellow in the Easter parade

On the Avenue
Fifth Avenue
The photographers will snap us
And you'll find that you're In the rotogravure
Oh, I could write a sonnet about your Easter bonnet
And of the girl I'm taking to the Easter parade

Olivia is 3 months old!

Hi all! Olivia is already 3 months old (plus a week) Already! She's been sick this past week, but she's getting better now. Because she was sick, we went to the clinic Monday, and they weighed her of course. She gained 1 and 1/2 pounds, and 2 inches in a month! She now weighs 13 lbs 11.5 oz, and is 24 inches long!!! She has been sleeping through the night since right after she turned 2 months old. She is now sleeping in her own room in her crib. She wakes sometimes at night if she kicks her blankie off or something, but as long as she's warm, she sleeps through until at least 7 am, sometimes til 8 or on a good morning, she will sleep until 9!!! That lets me sleep in and get some rest.

Below is a slide show that captures some of the moments from her 3rd month. Enjoy, and please leave us a message!
