We had a great Easter!! Friday morning Briggs had the stomach flu but it was a very mild case and it only lasted 24 hours. Saturday was the family trip to the Omaha Zoo. The weather was gorgeous and we had a great time. However, I left my camera in the car! Luckily, my mom had her's but we didn't realize it until half way through. I have no pictures to post on the zoo outing. After the zoo we went back to my parents and grilled hamburgers and the kids did an Easter egg hunt. We just relaxed and enjoyed the nice weather.

Sunday morning Elli woke up and went to the living room to see what the Easter Bunny left and did her Easter egg hunt at home before we went to church. She was SO excited and it's always priceless to see the look on your kids' faces during times like these. Elli colored a Cinderella picture for the Easter bunny and she made me write him a note that said,

"Dear Easter Bunny- Please do not take my picture home. Please don't touch it and just leave it on the living room rug. Please just look at it. Happy Easter!"

It was addorable!!

We were so rushed that I was able to get pictures of the kids separately but not together. I may have to dress them up again so I have a picture of their 1st Easter together. After church we went out to breakfast. The rest of the day I did stuff around the house and went over to my brother and sister-in-laws with the kids to hang out. It was a good day!

Briggs woke up this morning at 1:45 and I made him a bottle and when I went to get him out of his crib he was on fire. GREAT!! I hoped that it was just from him being all snuggled up but no such luck. He was pretty much up all night. He is home with dad and has an appt. today at 1:30. Hopefully it's a virus and I'm pretty confident it is but please pray it is just a virus b/c if he has to be put on an antibiotic then surgery will be postponed and we don't want that! I'm just SO ready for my kids to be healthy! Luckily, they are both rarely sick and when they are it's always a very mild case but it still is no fun for any of us and it just seems like they both have had these little bugs lately! I have missed SO much work between all of Briggs ear appts. and surgery and them being sick. I'll be happy when the illnesses clear and his surgery is over with!

Tomorrow we have a pre-op with Briggs surgeon. His 2nd surgery is only 2 weeks away and hopefully he can stay healthy! We also have more C.I. testing done so I'm excited for that. Then we come home and have a teaching visit. Tomorrow will be a busy day!
