Spring has sprung!

Hadley and I couldn't be more excited that Spring is in the air.   The flowers and trees are blooming (watch out allergy sufferers), the smell of fresh cut grass and fresh rain makes you want to get outside and hunt bugs (well maybe Haddie might feel differently on that one), and the Easter bunny has visited our house!  What more can you ask for?   Oh wait, I think I hear Mama in the background asking for BBQ .... Nana can you ship us some :-).

Today was a busy day that started with a early morning visit from the Easter bunny.  You can see from the photos below that the Easter bunny must really like me.   Haddie on the other hand.... not so much.... Well maybe the Easter bunny just knows that she isn't able to eat candy yet so that's why all she got was a stuffed bunny.   Although, Haddie seemed happy with her pink bunny so whom am I to judge.   Later that morning we went to church.   Daddy and Mama thought they would keep us both in the pew with them today but that lasted a total of 15 min.   I got to go play in another room with my church buddies and with the trains that I love.  Hadley and Mama hung out between outside and the hallways and later joined Daddy towards the end of the service.   After church Haddie and I rested up before we went to visit Auntie in her new home in Annapolis, MD.   Auntie and Jacques have a new home now and invited us out for Easter dinner.  It was wonderful!   Besides the fact that I got to play with Jacques.... Auntie had Easter ham, deviled eggs, potato salad, lemon poppy seed cake.... the list goes on and on.  Daddy and Mama almost had several heart attacks since I really seem to be a magnet to Auntie's breakables.  I'm not sure why they panic, I didn't break anything.   Daddy and Mama also took turns chasing me and keeping me away from the Easter candy.   Haddie on the other hand just relaxed and took it all in.  Oh but the one thing that got Haddie super excited today was Jacques giving her puppy kisses.   She loves Jacques too!   Here are some photos of recent spring photos and Easter weekend.

We hope that your Easter weekend was a fun one too!
Love,
Emerson & Hadley

 "Seriously, you mean I can't eat this?"  "Why does big brother get chocolate and I don't?"

 "Mama, Scuba Steve needs a bigger pool to swim"

 "Mama, when will you be done with the props... the bunny ears are throwing off my balance when I bounce"

 "Do you think the Senate will let me use this photo for my name badge?"

 "Hadley just isn't feeling it but Daddy and I just want to dance"

 "So Daddy gave up beer for Lent and Haddie's the one that ends up with the beer on Easter... go figure"

 "Auntie, you Rock!"  "We just loved your Easter dinner and fun festivities"

"Haddie wants to know when we're getting a dog" "Mama says when we live in a place that doesn't consist of mowing the lawn with a weed eater"
