Happy EASTER!

I know it's been 10 days since the last post..I'm SO sorry about that. Lately, I've been so straight out busy with portfolio stuff at school (I have 9 math portfolios to submit to the state by May 7th) so I've been a little tied up! Phew!! I can't wait for those to be over.

Onto bigger and better things...ZOE! I'll post pictures in another post, but suffice it to say, Zoe had a GREAT Easter. She was an absolute angel both on Saturday and Sunday, and just LOVED the attention. She wants to wish everyone a happy Easter as well! :)

On Saturday, she spent the day with my side of the family...her Gramma and Grampa C, Auntie Jill, Uncle Jay, and Cousin Jacob. For those who are interested, 9 month old Jacob most likely outweighs Zoe, but Zoe is still taller! She showed everyone her newest dance moves, walked and walked and walked all over the house, emptied baskets, looked for eggs (she's very good, btw), hammed it up, and decided that throwing a chocolate bunny was better than eating it.

You read that right, she wanted NOTHING to do with her chocolate bunny! We were ready....Gramma and Grampa got her a Lindt bunny, we stripped her down to her diaper, had the camera ready, and I got as far as being able to bite a piece off and give it to her, and Zoe wanted NOTHING MORE to do with the bunny! Ah well...that means there's more for Mommy and Daddy, right?? Seriously, though, is she really our daughter??

Zoe had a fun Sunday morning. It started immediately with an Egg hunt finding the cool eggs that the Easter Bunny left behind (they had bugs all over them, and filled with Zoe's favorite animal crackers...great shakers!). She found ALL the eggs, mostly on her own, too. I'm not sure she understood what she was doing, but she had fun getting those eggs. Then there was a cinnamon roll for her to eat...she's had them before, but this time, Zoe just wanted to throw them on the floor! *sigh*

After a good nap, it was off to Plymouth. Zoe was a trooper with the traffic that extended our drive, but then hammed it up for the relatives. In addition to Grandma and Grandpa B, Great-Grandma Doris, Unka G, Auntie Darcy and Uncle Jeff, Zoe was finally able to meet Daddy's cousin Kevin and his wife Julia as well as his Uncle Brad. Zoe quickly warmed up to Brad, showing him what a kitty is in her books, and how well she can pet a kitty! She also enjoyed perusing the restaurant with Unka G and Auntie Darcy...apparently, a bird is known as a "kitty". :)

Some time was spent back at Auntie Darcy and Uncle Jeff's house. Their newly finished downstairs is SO much fun for Zoe to run around in, and perfect for Unka G to chase her. All in all, a good time was had by all!

I'll post pictures tomorrow. I know it doesn't take much, but I'm pooped myself!!
