More Catch-up

Here's Beck at 6 months!! I can't believe he's half-way to a year...definitely like a whirlwind in slow motion, slow days that turn quickly into fast weeks and months.
And here's our little Easter weekend pictures. We went to the Syracuse Egg Hunt, had one of our own and dyed eggs. We enjoyed Easter dinner at my mom's after Conference, and the kids had a jelly bean hunt there, too. The whole week was pretty devoid of plans. Lily had no preschool or soccer, so we spent a lot of time trying to stay occupied. It could have been warmer, but that's how the egg cracks sometimes.
We all got sick--colds of some sort. My stupid allergies seem to get worse every year and almost sideline me some days. I could deal with sneezing and itchy eyes, but my head and ears get so full and congested that I feel like my head is going to explode. NOT fun, and I really wish I could find some magic combo of drugs to alleviate it until the season passes. And the funny thing is is that I never even had allergies until I got pregnant with Lily, and I've had them ever since. Shouldn't it be the other way around? You're a mom, so you shouldn't get sick or afflicted with stuff like that?

Long Overdue Pix from March

These pictures have been on my memory card for far too long, and I'm finally getting around to downloading them. So here's some of March's highlights... Beck started solid foods and took to them rather quickly. We had plenty of cold weather mixed in with the occasional warm day or two. Lily started recreational soccer and loves it...even when it's freezing outside. (Mom, on the other hand, didn't so much like standing in the wind while juggling two other cold, bored children for four practice in a row). Zoe celebrated her third birthday and had so many family and friends come to support and celebrate with her. It was our first, big 'unveiling' of our new house, and it was SOO nice to have the room to accommodate a large group. Andrew actually enjoyed it (and he's usually not into the party scene). She is getting so big and keeps us on our toes with her want to 'help' with Beck.
