Maybe I'm crazy. Maybe I'm a glutton for punishment. (I did after all have two kids in as many years.) But, shortly after returning home from the hospital we hosted Easter weekend for our families. Grandma Deb and Grandpa Tom came in on Thursday, as did Aunt Lizzy. Melinda joined in on the festivities on Saturday.
As Beau was out of school on Good Friday, Aunt Lizzy helped babysit. We took our inagrual trip to the neighborhood park in the luxe double stroller. Beau LOVED playing on the swingset and slides with Aunt Lizzy. And Charlie took advantage some indirect sunlight to help with that pesky jaundice. All in all it was a fun little excursion.
That night we all headed over to Uncle Marcus and Aunt Robyn's for dinner. The BBQ shrimp were wonderful. But it was a long day; both kids were tuckered out; so we called it an early night.
Saturday Billy fired up the pots and we had a good old crawfish boil with the family. Keith and Geralyn came and brought the girls. So Beau had a blast. Man, does he love playing with the girls. They played hard and after the crawfish were done they enjoyed a Easter Egg Hunt in the backyard. Beau did well, except once he got an egg he wanted to open it instead of hunt for more. Oh well, he's got a whole year to practice for the next hunt.

Easter Sunday, Billy and I attended mass with Charlie (yes, we left Beau at home with Aunt Lizzy and Maw Maw...he was just too wired.) The service was lovely. And when we arrived back home we enjoyed a nice lunch with the family. Again, Beau had a blast playing hard and enjoying his first piece...er...many pieces...of candy. He went to bed at 6:00 p.m. that night!
