Happy Easter! Alleulia!

Happy Easter everyone! We had a great weekend and Sebastian really enjoyed Easter this year. It was so cute because as we were trying to explain to him about the Easter story he would say Chachi (his word for Jesus) happy. Tat-tat (his word for his name) happy. It was cute. My mother-in-law also joined us for a few days while she was on spring break so it was a treat to have her with us. My mom is still coming usually Tuesday to Thursday to help out with the boys and it's so great to have the help! We figure we'll take it all as long as we can because we know once the move comes we will be on our own a lot more! For now, this week has been the first I've been on my own all day since Matteo was born. Monday went wonderfully! Today was a little tougher - mostly because an almost two year old gets very frustrated very often if I don't understand his needs instantaneously. But we are working on it! Enjoy pictures from our first Easter as a family of four!


Sebastian was fascinated by the rain the other day and since there was no thunder or lightening I figured - why not! So we went to play out in the rain! It was super windy and he thought that was really funny too. We had a great time getting wet and running around. It was nice to have time just to play with Sebastian for a little bit!

Loves "sharing" his toys with his baby. He stacked all his little books on sleeping Matteo.

Family picture!

Serious eyes during bath time.

All of Sebastian's animals riding his bus. His play is starting to take on a more creative angle which is fun to see.

On Saturday we went on a picnic at a local park to play and fly kites for the first time. Sebastian had fun and Matteo was a peaceful and happy camper too. Yay for our first family outing.

Happy Easter! We put out all the decoration on Saturday night and Sebastian was a big fan of the eggs and bunnies.

Checking out the Easter baskets. Even Matteo got one with a new toy.

Ooooo...what's in here? More stickers!!!

Mami with her boys before leaving for Mass.

I think this is the first picture where they are both actually looking! Too bad there are no smiles, but I still love this picture. They look so handsome!

Our family after Mass at St. Max.

Sebastian's first Easter Egg hunt at church. We didn't think he'd do it, but he had a great time collecting the eggs!

You all looked fabulous for Easter! You make it look easy Cristina, believe me, I am taking notes! Oh, I especially love Sebastian stacking the books on baby brother. It makes you wonder what goes on in their minds sometimes! I am happy that everyone seems to be adjusting so well. Hope you get some rest!
