Easter, postponed

I am not on the ball these days, like I used to be... HA! Here is the tale of our Easter.

The day before, our neighborhood put on an egg hunt for all of the neighbor kids. It was like a mini carnival with face painting and a jump house and other diversions. Maddox was so sweet, not sure what to do, he put the eggs in other kids baskets. He really is good at sharing but to give away candy!?

Sunday morning we tried going to church. Maddox was sick, and to be kind to the other parents, we grabbed a coffee and sat in the lobby while Maddox ran around and flirted with the other sick kids hanging out in the lobby. Needless to say, we didn't actually catch ANY of the sermon, but it was worth a shot.

After church we went over to Grammie and Papaw Myers' for a delicious lunch of ribs. We attempted another egg hunt, but Maddox was far more interested in the game of badminton that was going on, and got awfully distracted by the many balls laying about the yard. Also, how much fun is a solo hunt anyway? His Aunts and Uncles were selfish and stayed in Bozeman where the weather was nasty... next year they'll know better.

For dinner, we had Julian, Jen and Jeremy (brother, brother's girlfriend, brother's roommate), over for dinner and then went to Riverfront Park to feed the ducks. Maddox loves to feed the ducks and will repeat "duck, duck, Duck, DUCK" in the grocery store bakery. That's right, we feed the ducks warm, fresh-baked, french bread.... don't judge us.

It was a full and lovely day spent with family. Aren't we blessed to be surrounded by so much family?

Reese and the boys came to visit a couple of weeks ago and the cousins had some fun. Maddox is enthralled by all of his older cousins, he just follows them around and stares at them while they play, occasionally joining in. When we got them all in the hot tub, Maddox's fun side came out. He had more fun splashing and sticking his face in the water and splashing some more. Mason joined in the splishy, splashy fun and the rest of us kept it mellow with squirting bath toys.
After grammie read them a story, the older boys went to bed and Maddox kept us entertained with his funny, glass-smooshing faces.

Good news and daycare blues

We finally got the Internet hooked up at home. This means that I have one fewer excuse for not posting! I hope to get some new pictures and videos on here soon.
Bing has had several interviews and will most likely have several jobs to choose from. The second income is desperately needed however, this means that Maddox needs someone to care for him. With Bing and I both working normal, day-time hours comes the need for daycare :( This could almost bring me to tears. Why you ask?
1)I hate the idea of someone else "raising" my child
2)I really want to be at home with him, he is atrociously adorable and fun
3)Bad habits are learned from all of the other little shits at daycare
4)Daycare is expensive!
Not to mention, I have no idea where to begin looking... I don't trust any of them.

Oh, those Chinese

According to the chinese gender chart, this baby is going to be a girl. I was 26 when we conceived in Dec, see for yourself! Looking back at the numbers it was accurate with Maddox, and is said to be more than 90% accurate. Shall we start a poll? I will be finding out the sex, but I would like to know what you all think.
