Easter

Well after Frederick Meijer Gardens even though we were tired from our long fun day we decided to get out the EASTER egg stuff so that Brogan could dye eggs for the first time. I bought the kind that you could color on with a white crayon so that he could actually decorate them! He did a few and I helped out with some after he tried to eat the crayon and the eggs...



Easter Morning the Easter bunny came for the first time... (since she forgot to come last year)...
...and Brogan showed off his spiffy new Easter outfit! I love dressing him up like a lil man :) Also in these pictures he is doing patty cake patty cake... although we have our own version of the old nursery rhyme he has so much fun doing it and laughs and laughs and get so proud of himself!!





Then it was off to church.... Each Easter our church, Ada Bible, has a cross in the atrium for attenders to come and place flowers on in remembrance on the true meaning for Easter.. Christ's death and RESURRECTION!
and here are just a few cute pics we took at church of Brogan by the Easter lillys and leaving... He's been doing such a good job of walking places like a big boy. I hope everyone had a great Easter!!

::Introduction::

Although his life was unplanned Brogan has brought so much joy to ours. We found out we were pregnant May 21st, 2007, and what a shock that was. Looking back on that time now, as i look into his big blue eyes, I don't think we ever could have known what happiness he would bring with his arrival. I worked right up until my water broke at 4:40pm on January 15th. My heart was beating so fast as Buddy met me at my house (after i had to call and pull him out of an interview to let him know it was "TIME", he got the phone call he had wanted! Since I was scheduled to have an induction on the Thursday following and we both really wanted it to happen naturally. We got to the hospital between 6 and 6:30 and i was dilated to 5. After I got the epidural around 8:30 -9 I dilated to 10 within the hour, but was so numb that I could not feel my contractions to push. Poor Brogan was stuck there for another 3 hours with his head just trying to come out! We turned down the epidural, and when I could feel enough to push, it only took 1 hour and our baby boy was delivered into this world by his Daddy and Grandma Wood at 1:51 am on January 16th 2008. Grandma R and Aunt Chelsea and Aunt Brooke were also there to share that special moment and capture it with photographs and video. The rest of the family came in shortly after. What an amazing experience this has been...
