Easter 2015

A carousel makes for a very happy Eleanor!

And so do the swings! What fun!

I love this picture that Will captured. It just is pure joy on both of their faces!

And then there's this crazy face! Silly boy!

My babes and me! We were getting ready for Eleanor's egg hunt!

Cohen participated in the hula-hoop contest! He's not bad!

The whole family on the train-ride!

Happy girl!

Watchin' the world go by!

Cohen and Daddy!

Love these two so much!

Daddy and Eleanor found a "fishing" spot!

If it involves water, Eleanor is all-in!

Cohen and his two buddies from school, Brennan and Colton!

Getting ready for his egg hunt!

A full basket and a happy boy!

One last slide on the way out!

Our preschool did an Easter festival yesterday (Saturday) and it was SO MUCH FUN! We were a little worried about the weather because we had a fairly high percentage chance of rain yesterday, but the sun came out and it was absolutely beautiful! The kids had the best time riding the little rides and hunting their Easter eggs. I couldn't have asked for a better day!

Eleanor and Cohen with the Easter bunny! Will and I couldn't believe Eleanor actually sat there and smiled! Apparently, EB is not nearly as scary as Santa Claus! Who knew?!

The Easter Bunny came to see Cohen...

...and Eleanor! 

Eleanor wanted to hunt eggs before she even looked in her basket! Silly girl!

Now she's interested!

Cohen looking at all he got!

Looking at one of her new books!

And then going over to show brother!

Cohen with his new SpiderMan pillowcase!

Shaking her new forks around. She was very excited about these!

Our little Easter lamb with her new "ears!" She loves to wear headbands with ears on them! Hehe!

We had a very happy Easter! It's so nice to be able to do special things like this for our kids. I hope one day they look back on these kinds of days (and experiences like the festival yesterday) and remember what fun we had as a family! We truly are so blessed by these two. I couldn't ask for more!

Spring is here!

Fascinated by all the pigeons outside the Houston Zoo!

While brother was fascinated by the ducks!

I just love that smile!

And this one, too!

Eleanor didn't like that Cohen was sitting on that rhino's horn. Not one bit!

Coloring pictures after a day at the zoo!

Sometimes it's just a wear-your-shirt-as-a-hat kind of day!

Groucho Marx lookalike! 

Mmm...a sno-cone and Chutes & Ladders! What fun!

Sitting outside enjoying the warm weather and eating some lunch at Jason's Deli!

Daddy and Cohen at Donuts for Dads at Cohen's preschool last week! 

My little monkey has figured out how to climb from the couch onto the end-table and sit there like a perch. Silly girl!

Uh-oh. This is a picture from over my shoulder as I stood in front of Eleanor during her first time-out. She had several chances to use nice hands and then when she hit me (twice) it was time for some "thinking time." The funny thing is, as you can see, she didn't seem to mind too much!

See-saw fun at the park!

Enjoying the swings!

The weather has been so nice lately that we went on a bike ride... 

...well, Eleanor enjoyed her buggy ride while Mom pushed! :)

Another trip to the zoo last week. We're members and during the week, it's a nice place to go to get out of the house!

Riding the carousel!

This trip, Eleanor didn't seem to mind her brother climbing on this statue. She still didn't particularly want anything to do with it, though!

On our walk back to the car, we spotted this momma duck with all her little ducklings!

Two little sillies!
