I love Easter Sunday.
It's obviously a very special day. Arguably, the most significant day in the history of the world....spiritually speaking. It's a day I look forward to each Spring for so many reasons. We really luck out here in Bakes, because we always end up having perfect weather. This year was no exception. We had a few clouds and sprinkles later in the day, but we managed to squeeze in our traditional family photos before church. I love seeing my family all dressed up on Easter Sunday. Church starts at 9am this year...so it was a little stressful getting everyone up, out of their Easter basket treats, dressed, smiling for pictures and to church on time. It's work...but somehow we manage to get it done....and look good doing it. :) Last year church didn't start until 1pm, so we had a lazy Easter morning....not this year.
Aunt Jenny got Wiggy this adorable purple dress for Christmas. It was so perfect I saved it for Easter. (i am such a mean mommy) :)
Since I had her dress picked out I tried to find something the same color. I hadn't look at the dress since Christmas when I looked at Shabby Apple for my dress. I ended up picking the completely wrong shade of purple since I somehow remembered Wiggy's dress being much darker than it was.
Right after church, Grandma and Grandpa Hogue came to the house for an early dinner. We all watched the kids hunt for their Easter eggs that they colored the night before. The boys were nice enough to give Wiggy is a10 second head start before they came pummeling after her.
That Stop Wasn't On My Itinerary....
So the Hogue's made it to Florida for our first official family vacation. It was Sawyer's first plane ride....and Simon's first plane ride that he can remember. We were excited....the boys were stoked. We had everything we needed! But it seems that Sawyer packed something with him that wasn't on our checklist: a big case of pneumonia. Yes, the little fella made it almost one whole day in Florida before he started heading downhill fast. Our 2nd day in Orlando we were in the Urgent Care south of Cocoa Beach. (By the way, to see a doctor more quickly, it helps if you vomit all over the waiting room in front of the receptionist. Little tip for ya) After chest x-rays they advised us to head to the ER in Melbourne, where they eventually admitted him to the hospital. So, we had 3 night deluxe accommadations at the Holmes Regional Medical Center. The little whipper snapper was a trooper though! The nurses loved him, thankfully, and made us all feel right at home. We were going to send postcards out with pictures of the hospital since we spent 40% of our trip there...but they didn't have any. Imagine that!Hmmm.....maybe its something they should consider.
