Easter

Hello, we hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!

Unfortunately we've been pretty sick for the last week, especially me and Tim. Fortunately Justin hasn't been too bad. We are finally recovering, and we decided that we were up for an outing Easter afternoon, which was good because the weather was beautiful. We decided to head further afield than usual and went up to Joseph Bryan Park, which is close to where we used to live in Richmond. They have a big azalea garden there that we were hoping would be in bloom. The azaleas were only about 1/3 out or less, but the ones that were open were nice, and there were some very pretty flowering trees, including dogwood, one of my favorites.


Here are some pictures of me and Justin in the garden:



Here is a two-picture portrait of Justin giving me a "kiss":



While Tim was holding him Justin was very interested in his buttons...

...and in his face...
...and in eating his hat!
My handsome boys:

...and a family portrait:


I'll finish off the pictures with a few more of the flowers:




In other news, Justin as done a few new things in recent days. A few days ago he started clapping his hands, which is very cute. Also this week he fed himself Cheerios for the first time (both the self-feeding and the Cheerios were a first). Our little baby is getting to be a big baby!

Have a great week everyone!

Its so sweet he has kisses for his mommy! I remember when my nephew started eating Cheerios, it was a hard task. He basically had to get them to stick to his fingers in order to get them to his mouth since he couldn't pinch yet.

i LOVE the picture of you holding him up and the sun is shining and you're smiling big smiles. It's terrific! And the family portrait is lovely. What beautiful colors! It looks like you had a great day!

Is that your back yard??? What camera are you using? The color balance is great!

Thanks for the comments, everybody. David, this is Joseph Bryan Park in Richmond, and the camera is a Canon PowerShot A700.
