Easter, Etc.

I am quite aware that the frequency of my posts does not communicate how proud I am of my beautiful children. I am just too dang busy spending time enjoying and taking care of the kids to write about it. So, just in case there is any doubt...I think my kids are pretty darn cute and wonderful. Charlotte and Carter have continued to keep us very busy at the DuBroc house.

Carter is as funny as ever and has begun to have a few "2 year old moments" lately. He has run away from me at the park to go watch a kid on a skateboard, he has had more than one tantrum about a balloon and he loves to jump off of the fireplace just to give me a heart attack. Carter "reads" to himself in bed before his nap and loves to sing songs "all together". The most important thing that has happened recently with Carter is that the Easter Bunny took his pacifiers to the babies who needed them and brought him a "big boy" present. We had a few rough nights and rougher naps, but everything has settled back to "normal". Next task...potty training...(enter scary music here).

Charlotte is a great baby! She is cuddly and likes to sleep. Charlotte is sleeping through the night except for needing help retrieving her pacifier several times in the early morning. Charlotte has started to smile A LOT and it is wonderful. I will try to catch it on camera, but I am not making any promises.

We have had a busy month since my last post. We of course went to an Easter Egg Hunt with Vaughn's family and Carter actually participated this year. He did not know what to do about the whiny or aggressive kids. He just stops and stares at them. We also threw a surprise birthday party for DV (my dad) for his 60th birthday. He actually won't be 60 until the 29th, but we celebrated on the day he went on a flight in a B-17 (his birthday present to himself). Carter insisted on wearing his rain boots to DV's party and hopefully you can see the boots in the photo below. I started back to work yesterday and so we are having a week of change and adjustments at our house. Vaughn's mom did great with the kids on my first day back and my mom gets to tackle her first full day with both grandchildren tomorrow. I was not excited about going back to work, but it absolutely makes me appreciate the time that I do have with my buggy and birdie.

Here are some updated photos of the kids. I have an egg...it is pink (my favorite color...seriously)

I mean....can he be any cuter?!?

Yes I am sitting on a Washers Board...I am a cool frat guy in pirate rain boots

Charlotte....2 months old and already questioning everything I say.

So cute...enough said.
