You Are My Sunshine...

This is Addie's art/science project from school this week.  

After three weeks of being out of school (two weeks for spring break and one week for stomach virus) 

she was happy to be back.

Last week's quote of the day..."Mommy I don't want to go to school today."  

This was stated @ 11:30 when school is out at 12:45.

Addie's favorite hang out spot... the blue swing.

"Mommy I am going real high.  I am going to go into that tree... with the birds."

Our little Miss Sunshine has fully embraced the life of a big sister and knows how to milk every second of freedom from life with a sibling.  With days getting longer and spring in the air who could blame a three year old for wanting to go outside to her playground.  She will pull anyone who is at our house outside to push her high into the sky... 

just don't push her "clooked" (aka crooked).

Four Weeks Old...

Things Baby Drew can do:

• He can hold up his head for about a minute on his own.
• He sleeps from 9pm to 2am then goes back down till around 5am.
• He can drink from a bottle without spilling a drop.
• He weighs around 10 pounds and is out of his newborn clothes and diapers.
• He went to the library today with his big sister Addie.

Easter Sunday...

The Sanders 4 had a wonderful Easter Sunday complete with our first post baby church visit to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord.  We were able to make it to the early service since Drew woke up at 5:30 that morning... I am starting to remember how much I loved sleeping in till 7:30!  I know we will get there again someday.  Everybody loved meeting Drew and I loved getting out of the house.  After church we came home and discovered a trail of Easter eggs that were left while we were at church. Addie was so excited to see the Easter Bunny had visited our front porch.  After the baskets were opened, we relaxed before heading out to Franklin for Easter Dinner at Jason and Kelli's.  Here are the highlight pics from our Sunday...

She found one!

Brother and Sister Love...

How long will it last?

My First Two Weeks...

Well I have been on this Earth for two weeks now and boy have I been busy!

I have discovered that my favorite place to be is in my pack 'n play next to the window.

I love the morning sunshine and looking out the window.

I also like to cuddle up in my boppy on the sofa.  Mommy calls it my easy chair.

Daddy gets in on the action too!

I get lots of kisses and cuddles from this lady.

My great aunt Rita came to visit me along with a whole lot of other people.

I had my first "bath" at home.  My big sister Addie helped my parents out but I think she got more soap on the floor than on me.  

Maybe my little "stump" as my mommy calls it will fall off soon so I can take a real bath.

This little girl keeps telling me to open my eyes and wake up all the time. 

 I am getting really good at ignoring her already. 

Got Milk?

My Daddy finally got to give me a drink and mommy is happy to have a break.

I went to church for Easter Services and had a bunny visit my house.

My Mommy and Daddy also took me to the doctor to see how much I have grown in my first two weeks and they were shocked.  At birth I weighed 8 pounds 8 ounces and measured 19 inches long.  At two weeks I weigh 9 pounds 4 ounces and measured 20.75 inches long.  

Not to bad for two weeks of living.

Other notable happenings:  

I have peed on daddy two times... still being nice to mommy.

I sleep in my pack 'n play at night for about 3 hours at a time.  

I can hold my head up for about 10 seconds when on my tummy.

I like to go outside in the spring sunshine.

I do not like my swing... maybe that will change.
