Well, we are celebrating Easter a little early since we’ll be in San Diego next weekend.  Gabe and Miles looked so darling in their Easter sweaters.   And yes, sweaters were needed as it was pretty cool (but sunny!) today.

When Gabe woke up from his nap, we told him the Easter Bunny had hidden eggs and a basket full of presents in the backyard. After excitedly getting shoes on, he ran out to find the eggs. It was slow going at first, but once he realized that there were M&Ms inside the eggs, he made short work of finding the rest. He also got a Wiggles car with Wiggles characters and some Cars characters as well. He has been playing with them all day and they are laying in bed with him as I type! Man that Easter Bunny knows him well ;)

In other news, we’ve been waiting for news of little Jack Jr.’s arrival. Or in Gabe’s words, “Aun Keem da baby.”

Gabe is getting in touch with his feelings lately. He will come into a room to announce “Gabe Happy!” which just warms my heart.  Occasionally we get a sad or mad report, but he seems to be in good spirits most of the time.

Miles is downing jars of babyfood faster than we can throw them at him. I can’t believe how big he is getting. He’ll be wrestling his brother in no time!  Although he does not have words yet, many people have been pointing out to me that when he is sad and sees me he makes a sad “Mmmmmuh” cry that sounds like “mom”… which I think is just guilt so that I step in and change the diaper or tend to his needs =)

Well, next week we’ll be in San Diego with Nana Nancy enjoying some (hopefully) nice weather and recording lots of memories to share!
