Easter 2009

He got three baskets this year. One from us and one from each set of grandparents. Easter was a whirlwind of egg hunting, going to church and eating good food. We are so blessed to have our families so close to us during the holidays. It is so special for the kids. Nana had a really cute Easter table set. You can see the basketball on the highchair. Micah must have a ball in hand at all times during the day. He got football, baseball, basketball and soccerball eggs in his basket. We have to keep some in the tub, some downstairs for playtime, and some in the bed. He hoards three or four in his hands each night at bedtime and sleeps with them. We never knew this ball obsession would last so long!

My dad is already initiating Sam into his "all boys" fraternity. He grew up with two sisters and then had two daughters. Finally, he has some male family members. They spend most of their time squishing bugs, catching lizards, and going for walks through the neighborhood. I hear he has caught a turtle for Micah to have. So far the turtle is living off of dog food.
