Walking, hats, and family time...

It has been a while since I have posted because we have had a busy month.  Zeke is 16 months old now and continues to amaze us by his happy, easy going personality.  He's talking a little bit more, and we think he has just added his first sentence..."What Dat?"  He also seems to refer to my mom as "Nynna."  He doesn't call me Momma yet, but says it a lot.  His favorite words are still "Uh-oh" and "Bye-bye" with a southern drawl!  He has continued his fascination with hats, and has become very creative in finding "hats" to wear!

The recycling bin is always fun!

He is walking about 40-50% of the time.  He's much more confident inside the house.  When he's on the concrete outside, he holds very tightly onto one of our hands!  What a smart boy!

We had a nice Mother's Day weekend at my parents' house.  I was glad I got to celebrate with my mom and my son!

We had a couple of weeks at home, then we headed back to my parents' house to spend the weekend with Ken, Janie, and Riley who came to visit from Texas.  We all managed to fit even though my parents are doing construction and the kitchen was blocked off!  We had fun visiting, sharing meals, and swimming.  Jared, Jami, and the girls came over to celebrate too.  It was a great Memorial Day weekend!



Brother and sister!



Zeke loved them!

  

Fun new car!



Zeke's Great Uncle Ken!

There's no one like Wynna!

We headed back home after the Kennedys left.  Zeke was excited to see his Dadda!  We are so thankful to have such wonderful family.  It's a blessing to be able to spend time together, and we don't take it for granted.  We look forward to this summer when we get to go down to Florida to see Gregg's parents, siblings, and extended family. 



Easter 2011

This year we spent "Easter Eve" at my parents' house so that we could go to church that evening while my mom stayed home with Zeke.  The above photo was taken after Zeke fussed for a minute when my mom handed him to us (see below).



That just shows how much he adores his Wynna!  Anyway, we knew we left him in good hands!  We were able to go to church and dinner, which was a nice treat.

The next morning, Easter Sunday, we went to lunch at the Atlanta Athletic Club with my parents and Jared and his family.  It was a special time spent together celebrating our risen Lord.

After we ate lunch, we went back to my parents' house for an "Easter egg hunt" for Zeke.  The girls had already done theirs when Zeke was napping.  He was tired at that point, so the pictures aren't great, but you get the idea!

Last Easter, he was just a little peanut that fit inside his Easter basket.  Now it's hard to believe he is 15 months old and full of personality and can stand next to his basket! 

We are so thankful for Christ's sacrifice on the cross.  We know life on earth will never be perfect, but we have the hope that eternity will.  Praise the Lord...He is risen!!!
