Easter 2007

What a big weekend at the Kamnikar house!

Lily is three weeks old now and doing great. Surprisingly she is still wearing newborn diapers (I told Tom before she was born not to buy any newborn as our baby would be too big to fit in them) and newborn/0-3 clothes. She is awake more during the day but still takes good long naps and then at night goes almost 5 hours between midnight and 5 am time frame. The swing is still pretty big for her so when she does get upset Daddy puts her in the car seat and swings her back and forth. Big Sister Maggie is doing well with "Honey Lily". Maggie wants to know where she is and how she is doing right away in the morning, gets to hold Lily with Mom or Dad's help, and likes to sing/talk to her.

Maggie turned three years old on Sunday! Wow, even with Lily I can't believe Maggie is that old already. Friday they had a party for her at daycare - complete with cookies, candles, and a present. Then Saturday we had a party for her at our house. We thank everyone for coming as Maggie had such a good time. It took 3 tries but she got the candles blew out on her chocolate Mickey Mouse cake (thanks to Grandma Val's help). After the wonderful party we wound down by having the girls watch a movie on the couch before bed. Then Sunday we had cinnamon rolls for breakfast (Maggie loves) and once we got dressed Maggie found what the Easter bunny had left for her and Lily. We went to Easter Church at 11am. Both girls did very well all through church! The Pastor blessed Lily and her "full head of hair". When we got home we took some cute pictures of both girls in their Easter dresses. Grandpa John, Grandma Val, Grandma Toots and Steve, Helen, Amy and Paul joined us for dinner - we just fit in our new kitchen. Between another cake, finding Easter eggs, playing with Amy, and opening more presents Maggie was in 7th Heaven! Then Monday Maggie had her three year checkup - she is 34 lbs (with clothes) and 3' 2" tall. After her appt. Lily and I brought her back to daycare so she could join in the Easter Egg hunt as it was warmer Monday than last Friday. She thought that was great fun and wanted to go home and find eggs again.

All in all it was a tiring but fantastic weekend- thanks to everyone!
