Happy Easter!




A day late, but hope you all had a great Easter and were able to spend time with family and loved ones.  We had fun this year, hosting dinner for the first time!

We had my parents, brother, aunt and uncle over for an Easter feast complete with cheesy potatoes (a Lauckner favorite!) and strawberry / rhubarb pie (a Nickinovich favorite!)

It was a lot of work, but well worth it.  The pictures below are from dinner prep and Easter morning....I completely forgot to snap a few shots at dinner!

We had lots to do on Saturday night.  There were eggs to be dyed and pies to be made!

Final product.  It tasted pretty good!

Kevin feel asleep on the couch while I made the pie.
He had been working in the yard all day!

I kicked off Easter morning with a surprise egg hunt for Kevin.

I've gotta admit, I thought he'd be a little more geeked, but I must remind myself I'm not married to a 5 year old...   We will however have one in 4.5 years, so this was good practice.

I woke him up with the little bunny below and the first clue to his egg hunt...

I thought taking this picture would wake him up, but soundly he slept.
I, on the other hand was like a kid at Christmas; I woke up at 6am ready to hunt for eggs!

After the hunt we made pancakes for breakfast then headed to St. John's for Easter mass.

Fr. Crispin was amazing and gave such a great service.  After mass we headed home to get the house ready for guests.

Below are the rest of my dorky pre-party pictures... since I didn't take any at dinner, these are all I have to share.

Chef Kevin in the kitchen!



I made name card holders with chocolate bunnies.  Cute and delicious! 

Deviled eggs!




I hope everyone is enjoying the week back at work. Well, trying to at least...

We made a ton of headway on the yard this weekend- stay tuned for pictures!

20 week ultrasound

Yesterday Kevin and I went to our 20 week ultrasound.  Everything looked great and the two questions still lingering in my mind were confirmed. 1) Yes, it's a boy! 2) Nope, I'm not having twins  :) I've heard it a million times: with each pregnancy you pop a little sooner, but when I was in maternity pants at 12 weeks, I thought surely there must be two in there... Here are some pictures, if you'd like to see. During George's 20 week ultrasound Kevin admitted he'd almost fallen asleep, so I will admit: I had a hard time staying awake this time  :) But we did get to see him in 4D ultrasound which we've never done before, so that was really cool. So fun! After our appointment we went to breakfast at Salish Lodge and took my first Month of Bumps picture. (cue shrills of excitement from everyone eager to see belly pics for the next 4 months!) Before taking the picture I (lovingly) assured Kevin that yes, we would be taking...

Two!

Yesterday you turned two; I can hardly believe it! Two year pictures, wearing a dress I wore when I was little You are such a funny, sweet little girl, and I love seeing your personality unfold more each day.  This last month you've really started coming out of your shell and love making people laugh; whether tickling "gee gee gee gee" , or joking around (the other day you took a doll house high chair and pretended to sit in it...all the while looking back at me smiling and laughing like "look, I'm going to try and sit in this teeny highchair!" ), you sure know how to make us laugh. Music is your first love.  Beach Boys Greatest Hits is the current album favorite , so we listen to it in the car every day.  Mainly to Barbara Ann (you always request "ba ba ba" ).  You also love listening to Swiss music with Grandma and having Dad play "Abigail Loves Cheese" on his guitar when he gets home at night. Schwingfest is this Saturday a...

five months

Happy #5, Benny Boy! You have grown up so much this past month, and in the sweetest ways possible.  You adore a good tickle or friendly face and can't seem to soak in the world around you enough; every time I look at you, your eyes are quickly scanning the room, working hard to put all the pieces together. A smart little guy, you are  :) This month I moved you to the nursery.  It was becoming increasingly difficult to put Abigail and George to bed at night, but putting them together in a room has made bedtime simple - they love being together.  As such, you now have your own room!  It's so sweet being back in a nursery with a little one.  Since George was in our bedroom until he was 5 months, then living at Gma and Gpa's for another 6 months, he wasn't in his own room until his first birthday.  So, in many ways, having you in a nursery reminds me so much of my first time around the Motherhood block, and many nights it fills me with such joy just...
