Easter Et Cetera

Easter was good. :) Here are some pictures.

Things I have been doing:

• Blogging over at Everead
• Reading awesome books (reviews are up at Everead)
• Recovering from awesome vacation to AZ
• Giving the baby Tylenol (he's working on tooth #6)
• Watching (and loving) Bleak House. It's Charles Dickens, it's BBC, it's got Gillan Anderson, it's good.
• Watching American Idol. I'm so proud of Anoop!
  
• Going to the park and eating custard with my boy
• Delivering books to home-bound ladies
• Dishes
• Laundry
• Diapers
• Planning Youth Conference 2009
• Marveling at all the different kinds of rain there are here in IL (hey, there's only one or two kinds in AZ!)
• Calling Laura over and over and over and over and wishing she would answer her phone! Or return her messages! Or look at her facebook!

So, yeah. That's kind of my life right now. It's a pretty good one, all things considered.

First Haircut

The other day I cut Jacob's hair, and Benjamin had a few wisps over his ears that needed trimming. Hence, the first haircut! Here's the before picture:

And here are some action shots:


And here's the after shot:

BabyUpdate: Benjamin now crawls wherever he wants to go, pulls himself up on everything, and loves taking the silverware out of the dishwasher. I love that game too! It will occupy him for quite a while, and takes seconds to clean up. The only trick is you have to not mind your baby putting dirty knives in his mouth. Hey, I keep the sharpest ones out...

American Idol: I am rooting for Anoop Desai to go all the way. Also, it is a crying shame that some people made it into the top 36 tonight. America, I'm counting on your good judgement to weed out a few. Also, Simon knows what he's talking about.
