Happy Easter. The family is doing good. We've endured a lot of storms around here and on Friday while having Easter dinner with the family we took a trip into the basement to hide from the tennis ball sized hail. Then we zoomed home and about 10 minutes after we arrived we endured another hail storm which wasn't as bad.
Today we went to church for the first time since having Mallory with some encouragement from our neighbor next door who goes to the same place we do (thanks!). They also work in the nursery every other month so that put our minds at ease. Mallory did great and after church we went to Maggiano's for a "family-style" lunch. We generally avoid going out to eat especially as of late because Ms. Mallory gets bored easily and we can't both relax and eat because one of us has to be holding her doing something. Amazingly after our salads Mallory was cranking but a minute after rocking her in her car seat on the floor she fell asleep! We enjoyed lunch and had a glass of wine, it was divine. I think Mallory was working with our waiter to get a cut of the tip because between the great service he gave us and the nap she took, he got a bonus.
Mallory has been very curious about everything for the past few weeks and would rather be in the mix than laying down in her discovery gym or in her exersaucer. It's pretty neat but it sure requires more energy than just the regular change of a diaper and feeding every 3 hours. She's also getting upset more with foreign faces. She also thinks she should be able to walk before she has to crawl. As most of our neighbors and family can attest, her legs are always going and she likes to stand up.
We've used up enough of your time so go hurry and check out almost 20 new photos on flickr we just uploaded!!
