Easter 2011

Our Easter got started pretty early because Seth and Audrey Claire went to the sunrise service at church. Our drive to church is a good 30 minutes so they left a little after 6 that morning! That's why these pictures look like they are in the dark!

What a cutie!

When they got home from church, we headed to Tim and Darla's house for lunch. While there, we finally got everyone together for our first family photo!

After eating, Seth took Audrey Claire swimming for a little while. She had a blast playing in the water!

After a good nap, it was time to find the eggs Daddy hid in the backyard.

"Another one!"

Showing Daddy all the eggs she found in her basket (which was mine when I was a little girl).

We had such an amazing weekend spending time as a family of four!

One week old already!

I'm a little late posting this but better late than never! I thought it'd be fun to keep up with how Micah's growing from week to week and month to month by taking a picture of him with this teddy bear. I plan on taking a picture each week until he's a month old then I'll take one every month until he's one. That way, I can look back at how much he grew!

Easter Party at School

Last Thursday, Audrey Claire's class at school had their Easter party. Since I was home with Micah, ReRe stood in for me at the party. She did a really good job of taking pictures and even some videos. Here are some pics that highlight what they did~

Miss Priss and one of her favorite friends, Hayes.

Finding eggs on the playground!

ReRe said Audrey Claire was more interested in riding the bike and playing than finding the eggs.

They played games inside too. Here she is walking and balancing an egg on a spoon.

I have to give a shout out to her teachers, Darla and TJ. They did a great job planning a fun filled day for the kids!

Audrey Claire was a little wound up after eating a lot of candy she got at her party and never took a nap that day. Needless to say, she was EXHAUSTED by supper time. Here's what she looked like about 5 minutes after sitting down at the table~

Family Update

Lots of things have changed for our family since I "faithfully blogged". To be completely honest, life at this Brown house has been nothing but HECTIC. Seth finished at William Carey and is now taking seminary classes online. He also has an 8-5 job delivering medical equipment and a part-time job as a youth pastor at a local church. I've been teaching 4 year old preschool this past school year and Audrey Claire is now a BIG SISTER to this sweet little fella~

Our sweet Micah Seth was born Friday April 15th at 5:45. He was 7 lbs. 2 oz. and 20 inches long. We have loved every second of having him home and can't wait to see him grow! Here are some of my favorite pics we've taken since he was born~

Not too sure about the diaper change!

Getting more interested...

Bringing our sweet baby home!

Audrey Claire met us outside when we got home. She couldn't wait to have Micah at her house!

Helping Daddy bring him inside

She immediately wanted to hold him.

She loved it!!

Life at the Brown house continues to be hectic. Micah is 5 days old and has already had his first sleep over. We brought him home Sunday and by Monday morning, Audrey Claire had fever and had to be taken to the doctor. She had an upper respiratory infection and croup. We were basically told she and Micah should not be in the same house. So... Micah, Mommy and ReRe packed up and went to LiLi and Brian's house for a night. Once she was fever free for 24 hours, we came home to settle for good we hope:) She's now feeling much better and we are all adjusting to this new chapter in our life!
