First Easter

Amita celebrated her first Easter by wearing a retro outfit that belonged to Mom as a baby. She also donned her faux pony tails for the event and the combination of those two things made her the belle of the ball at church! She made quite the splash and everyone wanted a peek at our little cutie!

We had to wake her up early so we could get to church and help pack up the homeless families that had been staying with us during holy week. And Amita took a long nap during all the action so Mom and Dad could get their chores done and then she sat absolutely quiet during the ENTIRE service (something she hasn't done since week 2!)!!!! It was a fantastic day for all of us!

Mr. Mom

Aaron got more than he bargained for this weekend - he had to be dad... AND mom! I ended up sick with an infection (102.5 degree fever and hallucinated that I had a loaf of bread for a head) and Amita had her first cold. That meant that dad had his hands full taking care of his two girls. He did a great job, but he sure seemed relieved to go to work today!

Amita helped with the dusting this week. I guess we'll have to start paying an allowance now!

Weekend Update

It was an exciting week in the Bubb household. We survived our first week of me back to work and Amita in day care. Everyone did as well as they could, but we were all running on a little less sleep and a little more stress than we've had in the recent past.

Then, in case that excitement wasn't enough, we decided to take Amita on her first road trip ever! We drove to Minneapolis to visit my brother, sister-in-law and niece. We had a blast hanging out and reacquainting the girls who haven't seen each other in 11 weeks! Amita was also able to test out some new fun toys (sorry again about all the poop on the Jumperoo!). It looks like mom and dad may need to do a little shopping.

Here's a look at our week in pictures...

Amita was so exhausted from all the excitement at day care that she fell asleep on the 5 minute car ride to go vote. We actually had to wake her up to eat and put her to bed that night!

Rockin' our matching piggy tails!
Taking the girls to the park. The grown ups had as much (or more) fun than the girls!
The ride back from MN. We stopped 5 times on the drive out on Friday... but Amita needed her beauty sleep on Sunday on our ride home and we only had to stop twice.

Stormy Day

Spring has sprung, sort of, and it has brought with it some frightful weather! We've had some serious rain storms and wind over the past 2 days. We even got so much hail on Sunday that our grass turned white (for what felt like the millionth time this year!). Fortunately, Amita was able to sleep with all the thunder and lightning last night - a good thing since the blinds for her bedroom won't be installed until Thursday! And especially convenient since today was my first day back to the "real world" and my alarm went off awful early...

But given the conditions outside, it's a good thing that the Michie's sent Amita her first Stormy Kromer hat to help her battle the elements in style. For those that don't know, the hats are made in the UP and in addition to being stylish and functional, they have quite the history. Check it out for yourself and pick up a fantastic accessory that supports some of the good people living in the Yoop!

I thought I'd also include one of the photos of last week when Grandma was here visiting. It was a real challenge to capture both ladies looking at the camera at the same time!!
