Easter

Ian spent Holy Week, or the week leading up to Easter with Tim's family, Nina and Grandpa and Aunts Cate and Susannah. We hear he had a wonderful time and got to spend many hours shopping with Nina and Aunt Cate and in the workshop with Grandpa.
Tim and I arrived in Sewickley on Friday and spent the rest of Easter weekend there. The weather was absolutely gorgeous so we spent most of the time outside, playing with the dogs, going on walks, and just plain relaxing.
Here are a few pictures from the weekend.

Haircut mishap

So Ian severely needed a haircut and being the frugal person that I am attempted to take on the task myself. It didn't turn out so well. I cut the back while he was in the bathtub one night, and the front while he was sitting on the kitchen counter eating an orange the next morning. Both are not ideal for sitting still. Thank goodness hair grows out!

Before....

After...



We had a rainy couple of days a few weeks back and so lined up many play dates for Ian. Below is a picture of the yoga momma boys posing in our basement. (please excuse the bare walls, I still need to decorate the basement...)

The weeks have been flying by! I am already almost 25 weeks pregnant! Wow!

Today is gorgeous out but a few weeks ago we were still experiencing chilly days. I got hooked on baking bread using this book called Artisan Bread in Five Minutes A Day. It is incredibly easy and the bread is SO GOOD! I think it definitely helped me to get over the hump of winter. I highly recommend this cookbook if you are thinking about trying to bake your own bread. Just be prepared...it makes A LOT!
