A little of everything

We are almost 2 weeks out from the arrival of Joslin and it has gone by so quickly. We were home in time for Easter and loved having the family up to celebrate. Joslin has been sleeping and eating like a real champ. Jason has been a huge help and having family out has been invaluble. My parents watched Patrick the night Joslin was born. Ted and Lois were out too and watched Patrick while we were in the hospital.

The flowers were on the altar at church on Easter Sunday in honor of Joslin's birth. They are so pretty!

Madeline, Meredith and Patrick get ready for the Easter Egg Hunt! It was a little chilly but they had a good time finding eggs. Laura and Jason hid some eggs under some leaves. Chris and I helped hide eggs too...in the trees, in the grass. It was fun!

Patrick shows off some of the goodies he found in an Easter egg.

A school field trip to a sheep farm!
This was Patrick's first official field trip. They visited a sheep farm in Gambier. They have one llama that helps guard the sheep. Patrick stepped right up to offer it some grain.

A baby lamb!

Patrick works on a building project at his new workbench courtesy of Grammie and Grampa Frazer.

Patrick loves, loves, loves his new sister. He likes to help burp her and just laughs when she lets a good one out. He wants to hold the baby and is very attentive to her. He is also a good helper to me. Patrick likes to check on the baby and tells people how cute she is.

Ahhh- mud puddles!

Heather and Lee came out for a visit this weekend. It has been great having them here to play with Patrick and hold the baby. Heather and Joslin had a nice nap together this afternoon in the recliner. Nothing beats holding a cuddly warm sleeping baby!

A brunch date with a fabulous high school friend. Cherstin was in town and I was so glad we were able to get together even though it was for a short time.
Cool 3-D glasses! These came with some sidewalk chalk Patrick got. Heather and Lee helped him get some pictures on the front porch.
So- wow. Almost 2 weeks as a family of 4. Jason said the other night that he really felt complete with our family. We have been blessed with 2 fabulous children and a wonderful family.
