The Hunt is on...

Caroline got to go on her first Easter Egg Hunt at church today. The Primary Presidency had a great idea and had a 5 and under section and the big kids section. It was great. Caroline found an egg and as Kevin was explaining that you have to put it in the basket she discovered there was stuff in it. So she only found 2 eggs total. She had a great time. While the big kids were still looking they brought out a bubble machine for her group and she was mesmerized. Below are some cute pictures of the girl.


PS. this is Kevin's last week on this rotation. He will be in Atlanta for the next rotation doing pediatric ER. We will be traveling to NC the first weekend in April so we can't wait to see everyone.

Piedmont Park

Tarrah and I took our girls to Piedmont Park today. The weather was great, the girls were excited and we got to experience a little bit of Atlanta. We walked around the park and then got some lunch. We let the girls slide and play at the playground. Caroline loved the slide and could climb the steps and slide down all by herself. She did it over and over again. It was hard making her leave because I had to literally tear her away. Of course the girls were so tired they feel asleep on the way home. We had so much fun. New adventures next week...

Nursery Day

Caroline went to nursery for the first time. It did not go well. Kevin took her into the nursery room and she went straight to the toys. I had to teach Sunday School, but apparently Caroline only lasted about 10 minutes when she realized that we were not in the room. The nursery leaders tried to comfort her and give her a snack but she was having none of it. Kevin was standing in the hallway and came in to sit with her. She put a death grip on him and would not let go. He finally took her out. When I got done with my class I decided to try it again. We went back in and she sat in my lap for a minute and then she decided to join the others for a snack. She sat and colored and played for awhile, but every now and then she would glance up to see if I was still there. She did much better with me in the room. Kevin and I have decided that we are going to treat this like we did when we helped her learn to put her self to sleep. That was a long hard week, but it was worth it. I know that as time goes on she will come to love nursery.

Back in the ATL

We got back home on Tuesday. It was a long ride but Caroline was great. We only stopped for lunch. The last hour of the trip was hard but we managed by singing every kid song I knew. She loved it.
We had a great time at home. I decided to go home a few days early because I felt I was getting the flu. Thank goodness it wasn't, but it was a bad cold. I was worried that Caroline would get my cold but she didn't. We had fun hanging out with everyone and swinging on DeeDee's swing. Here are a few pictures.

Where did I go wrong?

I figured out how to make a video with my camera. Enjoy!

Watch out for the first step. It's a doozie!

I fell. I fell down my stairs and I sprained my ankle. It was only the last 4 steps but it still hurt. I had Caroline in my arms but she is ok. She was scared and began crying because I was crying. Thanks goodness Kevin was there. He has been going to a clinical sight during the week so he actually was there. He quickly put a frozen bag of veggies on my ankle. That really helped. I watched the wonderful Super Bowl from my hospital bed (the couch) with my leg propped up. Caroline, of course, decided she wanted to pick that time to crawl all over me. Kevin took today off to help me out. I made myself get up and walk a little bit and do things for myself. After Kevin left I put Caroline to bed and that went ok. Of course while I am hobbling around I will forget and turn it a certain way and it will hurt but I can manage.
