Easter dinner at the Rules

After church, naps, and lots of EATING, we went to Nana and Papa Rule's for a delicious turkey dinner (and more eating!). Everyone took turns holding Elliot of course, and we snuck in a family photo as well.

Easter Morning

Rachel had her first Easter egg hunt yesterday morning -- although because she doesn't like chocolate (!), the Easter bunny left gummy critters instead, as well as an Easter basket with a lovely new twirly tutu.
The piece of candy in her hand is a bunny. After she bit the head off, she carried it around for 2 hours without taking another bite, and didn't actually finish it off until she found it again this morning -- 24 hours later.

These days, at 4 months of age, Elliot is already 17 pounds, and able to do a pretty convincing impression of Winston Churchill.

The Sindens visit

Our friends Shannon and Chris visited from Toronto last weekend, and they brought along their daughter Bridget, and our mutual friend Mia.
