A Nice Spring Day...Finally!

Mommy and Nolan met some friends at Mt. Greenwood Park today. We walked there and back and enjoyed three hours in the great outdoors. Nolan had a fun picnic lunch with his friends in between playing and climbing. He slept the entire way home in the jogger stroller and continued his four hour nap in his bed. Daddy took Nolan for a wagon ride after dinner. Nolan LOVES being outside!

Nolan took Puppy for a ride, too!

The Snug Fit Jammies

Nolan looks great in his car jammies!
They make him extra thin so he can squeeze into the lazy susan cabinet!

Happy Easter!

We had a great Easter! Nolan woke up, came downstairs and started looking for eggs!
He helped Daddy carry the big bowl of eggs.

Nolan found eggs in lots of great hiding places.

He was so excited!

Nolan LOVED hunting for eggs!

He helped Daddy transfer them and count to be sure we had 30 eggs.

The Easter Bunny visited our house! He brought Nolan a spring book, a puzzle, baseball pajamas and a new lawnmower for outside!

Nolan took off with his new mower!

He checked out his new puzzle.

Nolan went back to the eggs...we would not want to miss any eggs! Thank goodness Nolan found all 30!

Nolan stopped for a quick picture before heading to 9:00 a.m. Mass.

After Mass, we stopped at Pops and MoMo's house for a minute before going to our family brunch. Nolan drove MoMo's van in the driveway.

Nolan loved his Easter outfit!

He played a quick game of "Pillows!" He loves to take the pillows off the couches and free fall into them!

We went to the Tillemans house for brunch. Nolan moved some chairs around as Ellen watched.

Ellen and Nolan sat together for a very quick picture!

We went to Aunt Mar and Uncle Ron's house for dinner. Nolan was so excited to check out his Easter basket!

There were lots of great treats!

Nolan had fun looking at his special gifts!

Aunt Mar helped him sort everything.

Nolan likes his new dinosaur digger!

He looked like such a big boy at the dining room table for dinner.

Nolan took a picture with Pops and MoMo.

Mommy and Nolan took a picture with Amy.

Daddy had to work at the Sox game on Easter. He went with us to Mass and then had to go to work. He had a nice dinner when he came home. Our neighbor took a quick family picture for us.

Nolan tried out his new lawnmower again when we got home. It is now in the garage as a new outside toy.

Nolan and Daddy played a game of chase.

We hope everyone had a very Happy Easter!

We loved the nice weather and hope the warm temperatures decide to stick around soon!

Egg Coloring Video

This is a video of Nolan coloring Easter eggs and showing us how he chews gum, one of his tricks. Enjoy!

Easter Saturday

We had a fun, busy day! Nolan went to the Oak Lawn Easter Egg Hunt earlier today. There were lots and lots of people. It was a mad dash for the eggs! He visited with the Easter Bunny.
Nolan sat so nicely on his lap after he checked him out!

Daddy had to work at the Sox and Bulls games today/tonight, so we went to Pops and MoMo's house to color some eggs. Thank goodness Nolan was wearing his smock!

He LOVED coloring eggs!

He dove right in and tasted the shells.

The vinegar, water and color mix must taste really yummy.

Coloring eggs is so much fun!

Nolan loved the pretty colors.

He does not always distinguish between edible and inedible objects...we will keep working on that skill!

Nolan was so happy!

MoMo, Nolan and Pops

The Wisconsin O'Sheas came to Chicago tonight for Easter. They are staying at Pops and MoMo's house. Nolan wanted to check out Timmy and Mike's ping pong game.

He was in awe of the big kids!

He helped them look for the missed balls.

Ping pong is pretty cool.

Nolan also tried out Pops and MoMo's home gym.

He took a ride on Swifty the horsie, too!

Then, Nolan went home for a good night sleep in hopes that the Easter Bunny will visit our house tomorrow morning!
