Happy Easter!

We had a wonderful Easter at my parents' house. Emmy awoke to TWO Easter baskets filled with lots of fun loot and some to share with Mommy and Daddy too. She got some new Sesame Street books and an Easter Care Bear in her Easter Basket from us and candy (um, for mommy and daddy, of course), a beautiful Peter Rabbit Pop-Up book and a stuffed bunny (one of Emmy's many "babies") from GiGi and Papa. She got Easter gifts from Grandma J last week before we left-some new springy board books, a "Spring Chicken" Shirt and a swim suit. She also received savings bonds from Grandma J and Auntie Joanie. What a lucky little girl we have!

Emmy also gave her cousin, Drew, a matching (green, of course) Easter Care Bear (Emmy's was PINK!). Emmy had a great time trying to talk Papa Bill into opening all of the Easter candy for her and "feeding" it to her babies. She is so sweet when she feeds her babies! I just love watching how "mature" she is becoming. Maybe I'll have to get her a little mini Boppy so she can sit by me when I am feeding #2.

Drew was baptized at church on Easter and Matt and I (and his uncle Nate, Aunt Andrea and Uncle Al) were his sponsors. We were a little worried because church was at 10:30, which is generally nap time for Emmy. She actually did really well. She fell asleep cuddling with GiGi during church and didn't even get upset when Matt and I had to leave her with GiGi for the baptism. She could see us so I guess maybe that helped. Both babies were exhausted by the time we got home from church! I think Emmy slept almost 2 hours after church while we were all eating.

We left FD a little later than we had planned but it worked out just fine. We made great time coming home and overall, Emmy did great in the car. She was a little grumpy when we stopped for dinner in Davenport but then went back to sleep once we were back in the car. We got home around 11pm and all went straight to bed! We were beat! We had such a great weekend seeing everyone and we feel honored to be one of Drew's sponsors for his baptism.

I will post pictures of the weekend soon. Emmy's Easter dress was just precious on her. My mom made an outfit for Drew to wear too. He is the 1st boy to be baptized in our family (as a baby) so he needed an outfit to wear and then pass along (next up, Klitzke baby boy #2...wow, we are really going to have to think of a better name for him :) )

I think we have decided on a name for our son....but we're not telling! You'll just have to wait until he is born! Ha ha! Maybe we will post clues in late August.

Have a great week
love
Erika, Matt and Emily (and #2, or as we like to call him, O.J.....if you know us well you'll be able to figure that one out....good luck)
