Easter 2012

We have had quite an eventful few days and in all of the excitement this is what I got for pictures...no group shot, none of their easter presents, no one was dressed up....... oh well!  Nanny and Grandpa came to visit on Saturday.... They, Gabe and Noah all went to a baseball game at SMCC. While there, my mom and Noah went off to explore the beach and lighthouse.... my mom fell down a hill, broke her leg and, after her first ever ambulance ride, spent the rest of the afternoon/evening in the ED at MMC. Everyone else was fine, Noah was in no way traumatized, in fact, taking after his mother I am sure... he laughed the entire time at how funny it was that Nanny fell and then thought that the ambulance was really cool...:) Despite my mother's terrible luck, this turned out to be a fantastic learning opportunity for Noah... it was much easier to talk about emergencies, what to do, what number to call and safe people to ask for help given a specific incident... He has learned 911 and our phone numbers with incredible ease/speed.... Thanks mom for taking one for the team in the name of Noah's education;)

ANYHOW, we had a lovely Easter dinner on Saturday night followed by a relaxing Easter Day filled with candy, sticky buns and TBall outside with the neighbors... only one bat to the head taken by James, so not too bad for their first try (we had three plastic bats, four kids and one T, so it was bound to happen). I am sure we will have plenty more pictures of the kids trying out their baseball skills on a warmer day!
