Ashton & Reagan made their first road trip (further than Target) for Easter weekend to Jackson. They left together and drove to Mississippi while I followed a few days later. What a great time!! Ashton was sooo excited to meet his cousins for the first time! He really likes Campbell since they are only a couple of weeks apart.
The weather was beautiful all weekend so we spent quite a bit of time outside. One of the main events of the weekend (not discounting Easter in any way) was the 6th Annual Patterson Crawfish Boil. John Barry sure does know how to cook 'em...If you can feel your lips, add more seasoning!! The older kids spent all day riding in their toy Gator, jumping in the bounce house, and swinging in the tree house. They were all pretty tired each night though so that was great!!
Sunday we took Ashton to church for the first time. Thank you Jerry for putting him to sleep for the entire service!! I personally enjoyed it, but Ashton's manners just aren't that great yet...must be from his momma! After visiting with lots of good friends we went back to Mimi & Paw Paw's for pictures (which you can see were an adventure), hunting Easter eggs, an amazing dinner, and NAPS!!!
By the time we got everyone back to Birmingham, it was very obvious that Ashton had continued to change. Much more alert when looking around, willing to lay on the floor and relax (even if it's just for 10min), and best of all...smiling all the time!!!! Each day is an adventure, but we absolutely love it!!
