Easter, Engagement and Entertainment

Happy belated Easter! We have been busy, busy, busy!! Aunt R. became engaged the week before Easter. She kept the surprise until we were all home together at Easter. We are very excited for Aunt R. and J.! Jacob is excited to add a third uncle to his family!

This is taken at St. Greg's, after today's Divine Sunday mass.We had a fabulous Easter gathering with both sides of our families at the A.'s house. We enjoyed a delicious meal of lamb, ham, potatoes, broccoli, rolls and chocolate cake. Jay's mom surprised everyone with a chocolate fountain! Jay's job was putting the fountain together and eating strawberries that were fed to him. Jacob enjoyed a few chocolate covered cheerios, thanks to Uncle Dean!
Uncle D. and Dad (sharing brotherly love)

Jacob surprised everyone by very clearly saying "bubble" when Aunt R. gave him some to play with. His vocabulary is expanding seemingly everyday!

Aunt M. looking on in surprise.


This week we went to the zoo with some friends from iServe! Their son is a year younger then Jacob and the best baby ever!! The zoo was crazy, since it was spring break week. You had to wait in line to get into the rain forest exhibit, but Jacob refused to be patient! He managed to squeeze his way through the long line and run to the front. Meanwhile, the 7 1/2 month pregnant momma, had to slowly work her way through the line while enduring many evil eyes and weird stares. Jacob was so anxious to see the anteaters and fish that he couldn't wait!! I am just glad he didn't get lost, since the crowds were chaotic.

A week before Easter we went to the Explore and More Museum in East Aurora, NY. It is the perfect sized museum for a toddler! Jacob loved it and as usual he was off and running in every direction.
Jacob is such a happy little man!
Disclaimer: Sorry family that I didn't take more Easter photos...I'm trying to be better about taking pictures..it isn't my strongest forte!

Jacob and the egg

Lately Jacob likes to play with anything that he can take apart and put back together. Plastic Easter eggs he has found especially fun (as well as trying on Mommy's shoes).


Have a blessed holy week!
