This is our 100th post! (And Happy Easter, too)

Wow, 100 posts already? I suppose we should have been here already, but today seems to be a fitting time to reach such a milestone since we have LOTS of cute pictures of Natalie in her spring wardrobe.

Easter weekend has been a lot of fun this year. Yesterday we took Natalie to her first egg hunt at the YMCA. She really seemed to enjoy all the festivities, though she couldn't have cared less about finding any eggs. She was much more interested in visiting with the Easter bunny and jumping in the bounce house - you'll notice the picture of her climbing out. What you can't really see is that Dada had to go in after her because she didn't want to get out! We were worried that she would get knocked over by the bigger kids, but she more than held her own.

Today we got Natalie dressed in the Easter dress that Lee Lee bought for her on her last visit. I tried to get some pictures of her with her pigtails and bows immediately because I knew she would try to pull the bows out, which she did. Eventually, though, she got used to having them in and left them alone. She came to the church service with us and enjoyed the music from the live band, but once the music was over, she became rather fidgety and Dada figured she'd have more fun in the nursery. We took some more pictures when we got home and then it was naptime. Later in the afternoon, we took her to the park where we ran into a friend and his two daughters. We'd just purchased some bubbles and all three girls enjoyed playing with them. It's so nice to be outside again - it felt like winter would never end! Now we're trying to enjoy the outdoors before it gets too hot again!

I feel like I should have something profound to say on this, our 100th post. But all I've got is this - we are so happy to have such a wonderful, smart, healthy and happy child (minus the typical toddler tantrums). We've learned so much from her and continue to discover more every day. It's such a treat to watch her learn new things and to hear her teachers tell us about something funny she said or did at school. I can hardly believe that she will be two in about six weeks! I'm also so thankful to Johnathan for being such an amazing and devoted Dada. Natalie is very, very lucky to have him in her life.

And now, the pictures!
