Happy Easter!

What a great weekend it was! We spent Friday and Saturday together doing some family things and doing a bit of shopping. We finally found a new spring coat for Colby... so difficult this time of year, as everything out right now is summer stuff!! Anyway, his other one was not going to make it through the spring/summer seasons, so this one will be much better. On Friday morning, Colby and I went to the Tri Leisure Centre and met Tracy and Blake for a playdate in the playgym. Emerson went for a walk with her grandma, but we were happy to see her for a short time too (even though she slept the whole time!!) It seems like we don't see the Edmonton Cameron's nearly often enough and I can't believe how quickly the kids are growing! Gerry stayed home and worked in the basement for a while until we came home. We get carpet next week, so there are a few projects he'd like to finish up before they come for the installation! Yippee!

Easter Sunday was a long (and tiring) day! It started bright and early (as always with Colby). It was fabulous to see the look on his face when he saw what the Easter Bunny had brought for him! He knew Colby loves the 'cars' at the playgym, so he got one of his very own!! It's a fire truck! Even better than a car! He enjoyed going through his Easter basket to see the other goodies he got. The best part of the morning was our Easter Egg Hunt! I wasn't sure how he would do with this, but he surprised us! He picked up his basket and went all over the living room picking up the eggs and putting them in his basket. SO cute!! I love holidays with little kids... priceless!! It was off to church and then to Auntie Colleen's house for dinner. Yum!! It was great to see some of their family from the Beller side, too! We stayed for the afternoon and early evening and had a great time. Colby would not take a nap, so he played outside for quite a long time while we waited for Landon to wake up for another Easter Egg Hunt. Again, so much fun! The boys got some new toys from the Easter Bunny at some more houses! Lucky little guys! The new golf clubs are a huge hit! It was such a beautiful day... we enjoyed sitting out on the patio furniture soaking up some sun! :)

It has been great spending 4 days with Colby this Easter break. However, I haven't done anything for school work this weekend... oh well! Will get to it tonight, I guess! :) He is growing and changing so quickly that I can't wait for the weekends to spend more time with him. I am really looking forward to the summer (and then all of next year too!) when we'll be home together! He is beginning to talk a lot more now (in his own language of course), but is also able to say about 10 words now. He comprehends everything we say, which is also really fun to see! He's one smart cookie! :)

Anyway, we hope everyone enjoyed a great Easter holiday with family and friends. Take care and enjoy the beautiful spring weather!!
