Lazy Sunday

I thought everyone might get a kick out of comparing baby Nicholas to baby Nolan. This is Nicholas at around 9 months old. There is no denying that they are brothers! Baby Nolan is 6 months old today. I can't believe how fast the time has gone. We are going to get his 6 month picture taken next Saturday.
Not much going on over here. The boys and I are enjoying a lazy Sunday. It is to cold and wet to play outside so we are enjoying hanging out indoors.
Jason is over in Huntsville visiting his brother. His younger brother Jeremy had a small stroke on Thursday afternoon. He is doing better, but is still in the hospial for tests until Tuesday. They still haven't figured out what caused it which is the scariest part to me. He brother is only 31 and isn't overweight or anything so it was a total shock to all of us. He is married with 3 young kids. Please pray for a speedy recovery for him.

Crazy Days

I hope everyone had a Happy Easter. We didn't do much, just got up and went through our easter baskets and then went to Church. Nicholas spent the rest of the day playing and trying to eat all the candy! We did get to play outside some.

Monday was freezing here. I think it only got up to about 54 degrees. Today is supposed to be 60. It gets warm again by Friday with a high of 74. The weather has been crazy this year. I had on shorts Friday and Saturday and it snowed here on Monday! So weird.

Live everyday like its Saturday

After Earl's funeral on Thursday, the kids I came back to Atlanta. Jason stayed until Friday night to spend some more time with his Mom. Thanks to all for their prayers. Earl often said to live like everyday is Saturday and I decided that was a good motto to have. There will always be time to clean and wash clothes after the kids are in bed. The boys and have had a great Friday and Saturday just spending time together. The house is a mess, but I don't care! One day the kids will be grown and I'll have all the time in the world to clean.
Nicholas got a haircut on Friday, we went for a wagon ride around the neighborhood, and then we played in the backyard all afternoon. He then got to take a bath with the body soap paint that my mom and dad got him for Easter. He loved it and couldn't wait for Daddy to be home so he could "paint" him. Nolan enjoyed sitting outside in the sun and feeling the breeze on his face.
Today was our neighborhood Easter egg hunt. For the 2nd year in a row, Nicholas found a prize egg. He had so much fun. Tonight we dyed our Easter eggs. Nicholas wanted everyone to see them, so I've included a picture.

Earl Alexander

Jason's Dad, Earl, passed away last night around midnight. Luckily, Jason decided to go over to Birmingham last night and got to see him for a couple of hours to say goodbye. Please continue to pray for the Jason and his family. Earl leaves behind a wife, 3 sons, a mother, a brother and sister, and 5 grand kids. I'm grateful that Nicholas got 3 good years with him. I'm sad that he and Nolan won't have more. He was a great granddad and Nicholas loved going fishing with him at the lake and riding in his boat. Anytime we pass over a lake when we are driving he always mentions Pops. While I would rather have him here with us, I'm thankful that his suffering is over. We now have another angel watching over us from heaven.
