Early AM

Brody woke up at 4:30 this morning. I went in to get him and he sweetly said "Momma, I wanna wink a watuh, pease" Hard to resist, I know.

And then, he never went back to sleep. It is mornings like this that the bad momma wishes that Tivo had a playlist function...Thank goodness Daddy is an early riser on the weekdays!

Happy Dust Please!

Just a request for some positive vibes for my sis-in-law Elissa. She's had some pretty horrific experiences with kidney stones during her pregnancy and is miserable. She's been hospitalized a couple of times for pain management and hydration. They were supposed to do an amnio this week to see if baby Lauren's lungs are mature enough to schedule an induction. Although I am so excited to meet that little baby, I want her to be healthy and strong too! Elissa is 36 weeks this week so I am sure that baby will be okay should they decide to go ahead with it. Especially since she's a tough little girl!

Here is Elissa at her baby shower this weekend. She was such a trooper!

Things I am Looking forward to...

1. Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac arriving on my doorstep tomorrow
2. New Banners for the blog coming soon (see #1)
3. Getting older and better this month
4. "RENT" in May
5. A visit to Sequim (date TBD)
6. Mottet in July
7. Seeing Jack J. in the Gorge in August
8. Maui 2009 here we come!

Easter for the Prock Clan

We found some sand in the bath tub before the mornings bath and Boone was convinced that the Easter Bunny must have washed his feet before he left their baskets.  Daddy's friends also left a present of two beer cans in our front yard and he was also very concerned that the Easter Bunny might have littered! After Bunny Baskets we drug our Daddy out of the house and headed to Gram and Papa's for our First Hunt of the day.

It was a group effort to find the "golden" that, in the end, Ashley graciously shared with Boone!

The Second Hunt of the day was after a yummy Easter dinner at Nana's.  Boone, who "couldn't eat another bite" before dinner started, ate two pieces of ham.

Boone stayed a little more focused this year and seemed to have a lot of fun.  Brody gets lots of help since he is the baby.  But really, he doesn't seem to need it.  He loves to hunt up the eggs.  The kids were so nice and gracious this year, making sure everyone had enough eggs.  Listening to them say things like "I just got one, you take that one" really does a mother/auntie's heart good.

Hope you all had a Hoppy Easter!
