Swinging on Grandpa's swing

Whew, what a day Easter was. It was a very very busy day but had several great moments. We got up early and went to the 9:00am service at church (we sat in the chapel for the first time, its so beautiful in there). Then we headed to Dad’s for lunch. Aly, Asher and Alex got to have an easter egg hunt and play on the swing in Grandpa’s front yard. This was the first time Aly wanted to swing by her self.

We hid Alex and Aly’s eggs separate so they both got a chance to get there own eggs. Since there isn’t much candy Aly would or could eat we filled her eggs with goldfish, marshmallows, yogurts melts and Uncle Tim donated a few dollars. They all really enjoyed it. Asher was the first to figurer out that there was food in the eggs and he was sold after that. Then his basket was the most fun trying to put it on his head!!! Alex had a few melt downs, he was upset that there wasn’t candy in all the eggs then when he realized there was money in there he was upset that they weren’t all money!! To funny!!!

After that we headed to the Manderscheid’s house for yet another great meal. Aly was pretty tired and slept for a bit on the way and then we laid her back down when we got there so she missed out on that egg hunt. (shhhh don’t tell her though). We left there and got home to rescue Marley around 8:30pm. It was a super busy day but we were glad we got to spend it with all our family.

On another note, the butt rash is gone!!! I got a call from the dermatologist office saying that they found some sort of bacteria but since she was on a antibiotic for her ear that it would fix that too so it wasn’t a big deal, but we are so thankful that its gone and over. So just FYI if you kid gets a rash the magic cream recipe is: Neosporin, Vaseline and triple paste (its kind of expensive but believe me is cheaper then going through everything we did) so try that first!!!

We did find out that Aly’s new pediatrician, Dr. Magil goes to our church and works in the nursery. Then I received an email the other day stating that they are moving Aly up to Dr. Magil’s room this week, so either she’s going to hate nursery b/c her doctor is in there or she’s going to be very excited the next time she is at the Dr.s office. Hehe! But JV said he knew he liked her for a reason!!

We are all doing good and looking forward to our up coming beach trip May 20-27. We are going to Hilton Head this year. We are all looking forward to spending some quality beach time with Aly. She was still so young last year and the water was pretty rough so she didn’t get a lot of beach time, so we are hoping she enjoys it more this year!!!

We took a lot of other family pictures so I’ll post those when I get them! We hope you all are doing well!!!

Love, JV, Amy and Aly
