Easter

Dear Caleb,

As your due date drew closer, I hoped that you would arrive early enough that we would be home from the hospital in time for Easter. I really didn't want to be in the hospital on Easter, and since Easter was after your due date, I was really hoping you would be here before that. Luckily, you arrived over a week early, so you were here in plenty of time to celebrate your first holiday. Let me tell you, it was a BUSY day. Everyone wanted us to bring you for a visit!

We started the day out by going to Auntie Linda's in Bridgewater. This was your longest car ride yet and you did awesome. We spent a few hours there hanging out with Abba, Auntie Linda, Joe, Kate and Tommy. Tommy got his first pair of roller blades from the Easter Bunny and he had a blast trying them out around the living room.

After Auntie Linda's, we went to Auntie Nancy's for a quick visit. There were a lot of people there and they were all so excited to meet you. You were taken out of my hands when we walked through the door and I didn't see you again until it was time to leave. Your cousins were especially glad to see you- glad for another boy to play with. We couldn't stay at Nancy's for too long, though, because Auntie Erin was waiting for us at her house. This was our last stop of the day, and that's where we finally had dinner!

It was such a great day for Daddy and I. We were so proud to show you off to all of our family! You were so awesome- you barely fussed a bit! We were all exhausted when we got home, but your first holiday was a big success!
