You can always tell when spring arrives by the number of personal photos I take. I separate my personal pictures into folders by month. January — 86 images; February – 108; March – 161 . . . April – 595!! Um, yeah . . I guess we’ve been a little busy, so here’s a whirlwind photo tour of my kiddos for the month of April:
Started the month off with a trip to Sesame Street LIVE. I have no idea why Molly was making such a silly face, but I love it. and have watched it at least a twenty times.
The very next day, we went to the circus. 
Easter was fairly low-key. Molly’s favorite item in her Easter basket was the watering can. She loves helping Daddy water all the flowers. And the grass. And the driveway. And even her little brother.
We finally got around to getting both of the kids baptized. Our plan was to find a church that we liked and get them baptized there, but . . well, we’re just not that good about getting to church. Luckily, we have a friend who is a minister at a local boarding school. So had him do it! Not only was it awesome to have someone close to us perform the ceremony, we got to be in a gorgeous chapel on a beautiful campus.
The only downside to waiting two and half years to baptize your child? The next day you find them with a cup of water baptizing themselves and their baby brother.

It’s just so nice to be able to get outside! Plus I love baby toes in the grass
Plus this kid is just so darn cute! He literally smiles as soon as I life the camera to my face. What a ham! It’s been really interesting this month when we go out in public. People used to always comment on cute Molly is and now there has a been a dramatic shift of attention to CJ. It’s weird – feels like it just happened overnight. Molly is going through a shy stage, so I don’t think she minds if her baby brother gets all the attention from strangers. At least I hope not.
My husband’s birthday was at the end of the month, so I surprised him with a weekend trip to Vegas! I ended up caving and telling him two weeks before we left though. We had a great time and it was so nice to get away without the kids (who, according to Grammie and Grampy, were “perfect angels”.)
CJ got his first two teeth this month and he is *this close* to crawling.
