Easter 2010

Easter 2010 was Sebastian's first Easter and the first Easter in our new house. We went to church Easter Sunday, hunted eggs with the Sellers family at Aunt Mavis & Uncle Tommy's house in Ripley and ate dinner and hunted eggs at Grammy & Namps. What a fun way to celebrate our risen Savior!

Oh look what the Easter Bunny brought!

So, maybe Coco isn't a fan of the Big bunny just yet and Sebastian is still undecided. All the screaming and crying embarassed Daddy. After it we got the pic, Mommy looked at it and said, "Donald, look, now that's funny." Coco replies, "It's NOT funny!" We were local celebrities at the mall though. Someone recognized us in the Disney store as the family who didn't like the Easter Bunny!

Too big to hold

Dearest Sebastian,

It's 2 days until your 1st birthday and I just realized today that you're getting too big to "hold." I carry you everywhere but you won't let me hold you like a baby anymore. That breaks my heart but I also can't wait to watch you grow. You are an amazing little guy who loves to smile, laugh and play in the toilet!

Your first year was so tough on you but you made it through and managed to teach your parents a whole lot about faith. I pray every day that you will grow up to be a man who loves the Lord and serves Him with all you are. Selfishly, I also pray that you never leave us and let me hold you forever!
