On Sunday we all went to church in the morning, and then to Grandpa David and Grandma Susan's house for dinner in the afternoon.

Annette got a stuffed bunny, which is her new favorite toy :-)

She mostly dined on pretzel sticks, but also ate some cucumber slices for variety.

Meanwhile, her little brother or sister is getting ready to make its big debut! It is 6 pounds 5 ounces as of this morning, and already looks just like Annette did when she was born!

It loves to suck its thumb and chubby little fingers :-)

On Saturday we went to an Easter egg hunt at our church. Annette was terrified of the Easter Bunny, but loved this little baby bunny.

She gave it lots of hugs and petted it nicely :-)

On Easter morning she got all dressed up in her fancy new dress!

It gave Daddy a flash forward of what it would be like to walk her down the aisle :-)

Annette had a great weekend! On Saturday she got to meet Kay, Jim, Maureen and John, her great uncles and aunts, plus see Auntie Lauren, who were all in town for a wedding.

Yesterday at church they had a Palm Sunday procession where all the kids waved palm fronds as Jesus and 2 donkeys came down the aisle. The donkeys were a big hit, and Annette loved petting them :-)

On Sunday afternoon we went to a birthday party/Easter egg hunt for 2 of Annette's friends.

She was very good at picking up the eggs and putting them in her basket.

After all that work she enjoyed relaxing in a chair and eating a cup of ice, her new favorite treat :-)

This weekend Annette stayed with her grandparents so Kendall and I could get away one last time before the new baby arrives next month! We went to Galveston and had a wonderfully relaxing time on the beach :-)

Annette's brother or sister is growing nicely and weighs about 5 pounds. This is a picture of it sucking its little fingers - just like big sis!

Last weekend Annette and her Daddy went to our friend's lake house for a crawfish boil (Mommy was sick so stayed at home).

She LOVED fishing in the cooler for ice and eating it!

The water was still too cold for swimming,

but she enjoyed a boat ride around the lake :-)

On Tuesday we went to the Houston Arboretum with one of our moms groups. The kids loved walking around the trails and looking at turtles in the pond.
