Best Buddies

What more can I say? Tucker and Noah are best buds :)

Tucker Boy!

Tucker cuteness:)

A little Stevie Wonder action.

This is how he came down the slide.

Chocolate hands!

Tucker and the Swing

Tucker spent a good bit of time on the "red swing" after the egg hunt. As you can see from the pictures, he LOVES it! He ate a few pieces of chocolate before he got in the swing...the evidence is on his right cheek.

Caroline Cuteness

Here are some pictures of Caroline after the hunt. The Easter Bunny brought her the squirt bottle in the second picture and she wouldn't put it down!

Easter Egg Hunt

Every Easter Sunday we have had an Easter Egg Hunt in the Woodlands. This year the weather was better than ever! Both kids really understood what was going on this year. Caroline filled her basket to the top, while Tucker stopped after every few eggs to investigate. It was lots of fun!

Easter Sunday

This Easter, we attended the 11:00 service at All Saints'. It was packed and standing room only. We got two seats at the very back of the church, but ended up spending a good bit of the time outside as it was a gorgeous day. Thankfully, some of our friends were in the same predicament and we all just let our kids play until it was time for communion.

As we were slowly walking up for communion or "to get bread" as Tucker says, a lady sitting at the end of the isle asked me if she could "steal him." Tuck was about as cute as it gets with his little hands out waiting to get bread. There was no way I was gonna give him up at that moment! I was very proud to be the mommy of the cute little boy anxious to take communion. It was a very angelic moment for him!

As for Caroline, she insisted on walking behind me so she could be closer to Ava. Anytime I touched her shoulder to help move her along she took a step back...she's a big girl now and doesn't need help! And yes, the pretty little girl with the pretty little dress and pearl necklace on, also has on cowgirl boots. It was a miracle that she even put the dress on so we were not going to push our luck and insist that she wear "real church shoes." However, a dress and cowgirl boots is quite the fashion trend with the Sewanee undergrads.

Crawfish Feast

Here are a few pictures (thanks, Abi!) from yesterday's Crawfish Feast. The weather was wonderful, the company was great and the food was delicious! There were lots of kids and dogs there which helped keep Caroline and Tucker entertained so Mommy and Daddy could eat some crawfish. Neither of our children were interested in eating the "baby crabs." I guess it's a good thing that I had packed some snacks in anticipation of this. We also tried to get a picture of the kids in their cute new shirts from Nena. This only worked with me holding them because the second their feet hit the ground they ran off to play with their friends. What a fun day :)

Good Friday

For the last three years, we have participated in the Stations of the Cross Walk on Good Friday. We started at Otey and proceeded down University Avenue to All Saints'. It was so nice to have such a beautiful Good Friday, as last year I clearly remember being under tornado warnings. Caroline ran along with her friends and picked a few flowers each time we stopped. Tucker was fairly content staying in the stroller. The side streets were blocked off with fire trucks which made the walk a little more exciting for Tucker. I will miss all the Good Friday happenings at Sewanee. There is nothing quite like following the cross in silence down University Avenue with the other followers...especially on a sunny (yet slightly breezy) day.

Oh Caroline...

Caroline quotes for the day:

"Me and Gussy are getting married at the wedding. I'm gonna wear a striped dress"

"Mommy, Tucker is gonna be a dog someday. He is. He's gonna be a pet."

"I'm going, Mom...on my bicycle. I'm going to go to Chuck E. Cheese."

"Mommy, can I call my brother 'sir?'"

Park

The weather was awesome yesterday so we ended up having a picnic at the park and playing with friends for almost 4 hours. It was a perfect day! Still searching for the battery charger, so I had to steal some pictures from Liz's blog. In case you can't tell, Caroline is in the short skirt and cowgirl boots and Tucker is wearing the yellow motorcycle shirt.
