Easter and Fun with Friends

We had such a good week last week!

#1 We are now successfully "sleep trained"! It only took about 2 hard days. It was well worth the stress and anxiety. Lilly Anna is such a big girl - she was ready to start putting herself to sleep.

#2 We had a few play dates with our friends. One was the Easter Party for the graduate student community. It was mainly for older kids, but we still had a nice time seeing our friends.

#3 We have a new little friend - Ella. Her parents are our friends and neighbors Lauren and Ben. We've seen her a lot since she's been born, but just haven't taken a picture with her and LA until the other day. LA loves her new friend.

#4 The Farmers' Market is finally open again! The freezing cold didn't keep us away and we bumped into several of our friends! Jisun and Shawn are expecting a baby girl at the beginning of June!

#5 Lilly Anna had a wonderful first Easter! We went to church (although we got there 15 minutes late and I had to leave a little early to feed her!) and then went to brunch at the Jones' home. This brunch was AMAZING! They did all the cooking and there were probably 15 people there. We had several different quiches, homemade scones, sticky buns, asparagus, ham...yumm! It was so good. Lilly Anna's friend Ezra (11 weeks) was there. We captured a few cute pics of the girls!

#6 We've discovered how much LA loves banging on our pots and pans. She's a master at sitting up now and just loves to beat the pans and play with the new blocks we just bought! She's so much fun!
