Easter

Easter was so late in April this year I thought we would be safe to plan outdoor activities. Wrong!! We were only going to go to the hills close by and have a picnic with a little four wheeling and shooting guns. We woke up Saturday morning to rain/snow flurries! What the crap is mother nature thinking? I am so sick of the cold wet weather I could just scream. So we settled for lunch at my mom's and a egg hunt in her yard. It did warm up a little by the afternoon so we went up by the water tank and rolled and threw eggs. This was my first time ever doing this, but it is a big tradition with people around here. I still don't understand the fun in it. After that Mom took the kids to the movie- Rio. Friday we had dinner at Mom's and then colored eggs. It's amazing how fast four kids can go through four dozen eggs.

One Month

I survived the first month with our new little addition! That may not seem like a big deal to some people, but if you only knew how bad I get post partum depression and how I do not deal well with the newborn stage it would seem like a bigger accomplishment. I am proud to say that I am already through the post partum depression and functioning without anti-depressants! It has really helped having two big helpers in the house. Sekoya and Katera have been such great help with feeding, holding, and entertaining Nixon. I honestly don't know what I would do without them. Nixon is definitely not lacking in getting enough love and attention. The girls still fight over who gets to hold him. We are still working on getting on a routine with feedings, but he does have his days and nights figured out for the most part. I still look at him and think of what a miracle he is and how hard we worked to get him here. Our family would just not be complete without him. I have been really horrible at taking pictures so I don't have any to post. I don't even have one of Jason with him when he was born! I feel so bad about that.
