As we drove to church I thought about last years Easter sermon and how emotional I was about the whole Jesus as a SON thing. How the Pastor read parts of Love You Forever, and how I hoped I made it through with less tears.
Well, we weren't there 20 minutes before we were paged to come get our screaming youngin. The ladies tried all the tricks, a walk outside, a ball, ELMO, and nothing worked. Until he got a hold of me. Then he was fine.
In all honesty, there were many more kids there than normal and a hand full of them were crying. I should have known it wasn't going to end well. Hardin does not do well when others cry. Or maybe he just wanted to get to his cousins faster.
On a side note. If I didn't know better, I'd think Jason staged the entire thing. He had a bit too much fun at a wedding we went to Saturday night and wasn't exactly upset when we had to leave the steaming hot church.
Next up was Justin's for lunch and an egg hunt. Mimi sent the most adorable little outfits for the trio and they had a ball running around. We tried our hardest with the pictures, but it's much like herding cats these days. And mine is the run away cat. The other two are the sweet lap cats that stay put. Still, the three of them in their pink and green may be the cutest thing I've ever seen.
It is so fun watching their little relationships form. Lillian can say Hardin really well now and talks to him all the time, and this was the first time I noticed Cawley playing with him as a companion and not a baby. He kept saying "Hardin, come here... Hardin, do this..." Melt my heart.
And yes, Hardin had two Easter outfits. That's just what happens when you have two awesome grandmothers who buy you perfect little outfits!

How sweet are those hugging cousins! Those three (and hopefully more??) are going to be sharing a lot of fun over the years!
ReplyDeleteWe've been friends so long this won't creep you out (or I hope it won't)....BUT is it weird that I've spent the last 10 minutes just staring at these adorable pictures. And wiping away tears?
ReplyDeleteYour blog is so much more than a regular old blog to me. I remember where I was the second I found out you were pregnant, and I remember praying for H before he was born. I remember the first pictures, seeing him in person for the first time...and wow! That same tiny little baby is now closer to a little boy.
Still cute as ever, though. And I won't be all out sobbing until he loses the knee socks.
Love the new layout! The kids are adorable, as usual!
