Easter 2010

We celebrated Easter with our families a day early this year.  Drew's parents left on Easter day to head down to Houston for Drew's dad's treatment... his dad was gone about 7 weeks and his mom traveled back and forth each week.  We wanted to see them before they left so we had a little Easter breakfast at our house the day before.  After breakfast we hid Easter eggs for Pierson around the living room.  It was a little cold outside so we just decided to stay inside this year.  We're so blessed to have our families close by and be able to see them so much!  And we're so thankful for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

Everyone watching Pierson hunt eggs

There were a few on the stairs, too

And in his work bench...

My parents brought over some eggs, too, and one of them was a talking egg.  Once you hid it and turned it on every little bit it would say things like "I'm hiding!"  "Come find me"  "I'm over here."  I hid it in the couch cushions and Pierson could hear it but it took him a while to figure out what it was and where it was.  It was hilarious!  We've spent a lot of time since then hiding the egg around the house and finding it!

YoYo trying to give him a hint of where the egg was...

And he found it!

Aquarium (March)

My sister came to town one weekend in March.  The two of us and my mom took off work on Monday and we took Pierson to the Aquarium before she left town.  Pierson thought it was really neat to see all the fish and animals.

Checking out the beaver

Going with MiMi to see the Otters

They had a turtle feeding exhibit and my sister bought the food so Pierson could feed them

He thought it was fun to watch them take the food off his feeding stick

In the shark tunnel with mommy!

They had a place to pet the starfish - Christi was telling Pierson all about them

Big News! (March)

I haven't yet posted this on the blog so I figure it's about time... Pierson has some big news to share!

Due late October 2010

And I'm sure this is how he'll feel sometimes about his new little brother... but I know they'll become the BEST of friends!

To tell our parents we invited them both over for breakfast.  Pierson was wearing his new "Big Brother" shirt but we didn't want the first to arrive to see before the rest so put Pierson's apron on over his shirt.  Drew and Pierson cooked breakfast for everyone and while we were waiting for some of it to come out of the oven we were all standing around talking in the kitchen area.  We took off Pierson's apron and waited for them to notice his shirt.  They were all really excited about our news!

And after breakfast we went outside and played for a bit...

Tricycle time (March)

Pierson has had this tricycle for quite some time and his feet still don't quite reach the pedals... however he loves to put his feet to the pavement and scoot himself around.  This day he took us on a long walk around the neighborhood just scooting himself right along.

Oooops!  Took a sharp turn!

Making sure I'm still behind him!

We had our friends Brent and Micheala over for dinner and they brought their little guy Dax.  He was about 5 months old in this picture... he's such a cutie!!!
