EASTER WEEKEND
We had such a fun Easter this year! We started by driving out to Wenatchee on Friday to go to lunch with some lawyers from the firm that Bryce will be working at this summer, Jeffers Danielson Sonn & Aylward. Bryce's parents and sister met us there and took the kids off our hands so that we could have a peaceful lunch :). After lunch, and getting to know Wenatchee a little bit (shopping at Target, shakes at Owl's Pharmacy, and driving around some residential areas), we all headed out to Leavenworth to check into our room at the Enzian Inn. We then spent the weekend on the putting course, in the pool and hot tub, hunting for Easter eggs (multiple times), walking the Bavarian streets, and stuffing ourselves silly with yummy food and treats. When we got back to Spokane on Sunday afternoon, we headed over to our friends, Chelsey and Taylor North's house, for a wonderful Easter dinner and a fun evening with friends. Happy Easter!

Daddy-daughter time after an exciting day in Leavenworth
Smallwood's Harvest had an Easter festival on Saturday that was SUPER fun 
CJ enjoyed another Easter egg hunt in our hotel room Easter morning
Even though Mattie got an Easter basket too, she slept through it all :)

All the Easter candy the kiddos got at the North's went straight to their legs...and they started jumpin' on the bed :)

ANOTHER FIRST
CJ had his first dentist appointment at the beginning of March. It seems that the discomfort of having his mouth prodded was worth it because CJ found out yesterday that he won a prize for having no cavities (free admission to Mobious, a fun kids' museum here in Spokane)! Way to go, CJ! It was his first award and, if he's like his daddy, it definitely won't be his last (and if he's like his mommy, it probably will :).
IT WAS ABOUT TIME
A couple of months ago we buzzed off CJ's duck tail he had going on the back of his head, but didn't touch the top. As you can see by the pics below, which don't do the actual length and craziness of CJ's hair justice, it was now time to cut the top too. So glad we did!

BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
Blond or brunette? We can't tell yet, but we're just glad that she's got some hair, definitely more than CJ had (and P.S. that is NOT a bald spot...it's the flash reflecting off her little blond hairs, I promise)Wednesday, March 25, 2009
MATTIE - 2 WEEKS OLD
Mattie had her 2 week check up and she's doing great! She gained 15 oz in 10 days (the doc said he likes to see an ounce a day, so it's safe to say Mattie's getting enough to eat :) and her jaundice is pretty much gone. Dr. Lee complimented her on her nice pear-shaped belly and the nurse asked if she was a C-section baby because her head is so perfectly shaped...hopefully we can keep it that way. Here are her stats:Weight: 9 lbs 8 oz (86th percentile)
Length: 21 3/4 in (93rd percentile)
Head: 14 1/2 in (71st percentile)
Mattie is getting stronger and stronger, holding her head up more and more each day as well as having more and more time each day that she is awake. Though she sleeps for long periods of time, giving us 4 or so hours of sleep between feedings at night, she likes to stay awake for up to two hours after being fed...and when she's awake, she likes to be held, so it makes for a long night. She's becoming more tolerant of diaper changes, but she definitely is not a fan of getting dressed or anything else that messes with her :). And she loves to sleep in Mommy and Daddy's bed (which we're definitely trying to limit) and suck on things, like her fists and binkies. We love her very much and are so grateful she's a part of our family!

Paige turned 28 on March 13th and despite having her birthday on Friday the 13th, she felt very lucky - or rather, blessed - to have great friends who came over for cake and ice cream, thoughtful family who sent her flowers, cards, and gifts, and a wonderful husband and two beautiful children who made her birthday the best it could have been!

crashing after everyone left; I guess giving birth 4 days earlier caught up to her :)
A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT CJ's BEEN UP TO:
The last two weeks have been a transition for us all, but CJ has managed to make it memorable. Though he was a little freaked out by the hospital, he quickly warmed up once we got home and he's adjusting well to having a little sister. He loves to give her blankets, pat her head, hold her hand, give her kisses, and share his toys with her (all supervised, of course :). We're so grateful that Mattie has such a loving older brother. We love you, CJ!!
