Happy Easter!

Lily, Jon & The Easter Bunny

Video Time!
The third child is Courtney, one of Lily's favorite friends. She is 2 months older than Lily and she teaches Lily lots of stuff. She's the one who got her hooked on saying "uh oh!"

Happy Boy

Easter Egg Hunt
It was a cold and overcast morning but Lily found plenty of eggs and had a good time. Nana came over and colored eggs with us first and then helped with the hunt. Daddy took pictures and I carried Jon in the sling. Later on Saturday we all went to Nana's for dinner and then to church. The Easter Bunny brought Lily the Little People Barn to Nana's and Lily LOVES it!

Caution: Road Turns
Jon enjoys his exersaucer for short periods. He's got great head control, but tires easily. Actually, I think he would just rather be held and talked to and coo'd upon. He eats that up!

Mama just wants everyone to know that Jon is in 5 of these 7 pictures! I've been getting a lot of flack for not having as many pictures of him. Once he starts using crayons and feeding himself, I'm sure I'll have lots!

Hi Jennifa!
Cute pics! I love the three kids watching videos! Lily looked like she collected quite a few eggs in her bag! Jon does look like such a happy little boy. Too bad he won't sleep through the night. Lots of pictures of him this time! Lilly is too cute--as always. Thanks for doing this for all of us.
Love you lots--and lots
Muma

Hi All,
Looks like you had a fun Easter! Lily looks like she had fun finding eggs. I love the closeup of Jon, he is so cute. The three of them watching tv is too cute too. And it looks like you had fun playing dress up at Nana's house too. Miss you all!

Boy, it's fun playing with M&D! I hear them say "Lily was EASY!" I guess I'm giving them a run for their money! Sometimes I sleep at night, sometimes I don't. I like to go to bed at 7:00. So, I only sleep until about 1 or 3 unless they wake me up at 10 to feed me; then I might sleep until 5. And naps? I still dislike taking naps but I'll occasionally sleep in my crib or my swing. Ah, it's fun being me. (UPDATE: reason for lack of sleep: teething!! My "fangs" are coming in.)

Peek-A-Boo!
It's me in my sling on my perch.

Porcupine Fish!
Lily loves animals. She really likes the porcupine fish in this book.

Lily Likes Coloring. Everything.

More!
Lily was rocking me. What a cool big sis!

I'm So Cute!

Confused.
Technically, Lily did bring her snack to a table. Just not the one Mama had in mind.

Sleeping On Mama.

Lily Being Lily
Mama asked Lily to close her mouth for this pic! Isn't she a cute butterfly?

Just Another Day At The Spa

CAST OFF Day!
On Friday, March 18th, Lily got her cast off and a clean bill of health. At least as far as her arm was concerned! She was ready to go!

Chocolate Pudding Painting
One of the first activities Lily did after she got her cast off was to play with all the stuff she couldn't do when she was "casted". Painting with chocolate pudding was first on her list. Bath was next!

Coloring. Everything, again.

Hi Jennifa and family!
What an interesting concept--painting with pudding. I can even see the hand print that she sent me for Easter. Thank you, Lily. Lily is just too cute in her butterfly outfit with her closed mouth. Don't see too many pictures like that. Also, she's seems to be quite the artist. She's ambidextrous, I guess--a crayon in each hand and drawing with both! Jonathan is just the sweetest looking baby. I love the little smile and he looks like such a big boy in his big boy clothes. I think the picture of him sleeping on Mama is the greatest.
Dad says to say Hi! He was just in checking out the latest. Hi to all and kisses and hugs too.\
Love always,
Muma

Hi All,
I love the picture of Lily watching over Jon. And all her photos being so creative. And I love the handprint we got for Easter made of chocolate pudding, that is toooo cute. Uncle Art said he'll send her his footprint. Yuk! Jon looks so much more alert now, so non lump like. He is a cutie. I love the one of him sleeping, he looks so sweet and he is! Miss you all sooooo much. Thanks for keeping us close through your site. Love Aunt Bev

For all of you who are concerned about the cotton balls on Jon; he has blocked tear ducts and has boogie eyes. They have to be cleaned two or three times a day. And hey, he looked like he was at a spa, he just needed to have an avacado clay mask on and it would have been perfect.

Jennifur (southern pronunciation),

You do such a great job with the pictures. I love Lilly's taste in clothes - especially the furry things and other disguises. Is she charging consulting fees yet?

I can't wait to see how Jon responds to her choices for him. The first time he tells her no and can resist her will be an interesting sight to see (or noise to hear).

This is definitely "the next best thing to being there."

One more week until I get my cast off! YIPPEE!! Life here at the Fuller house has been like a roller coaster (not that I know what that's like!). Mama started taking some medication that evens out her hormonal surges and we've all benefited. Mama smiles again, Daddy actually looks forward to coming home and Jon has started to sleep through the night again. Seriously, they feed him 6.5 ounces every three hours and when he hits 32 ounces at 6 PM he sleeps for eleven hours!! They feed him again around 5 or 6 AM and he goes back to sleep!
I love helping Mama with Jon and other chores around the house. I bring my plates (and Jon's bottles) to the sink and I bring my laundry to the hamper. I love to help sweep and wash and whatever Mama does. When she feeds Jon, I feed my babies. I also love "talking" on the phone just like she does.

Wear Your Baby
I wear my Baby just like Mama!

I Love Dave Matthews Band
Mama put on an old DMB CD and I just couldn't stop dancing!

Happy Monkey Boy

Way Too Happy Monkey Boy

Frog Boy

Little Surfer Boy
Aunt Kari and Uncle Geoff sent Jon this cute little surfer outfit. Doesn't that color look great on him?

HI Jennifa!
What a cute dance series. Mem loved the pic you sent her, but she now wants a whole set. I love Lily in her headset and carrying her baby around too. She is just too cute--just like her Mom. Jon looks so adorable in his monkey outfit. It looks like he's getting some red hair--or is it just the pics? The surfer suit is way too cute and it definitly makes his hair look red. You do such a good job with this page. Mem enjoyed it so much when she was here, we looked through it twice and went back quite a ways too. Thank you for sharing. I love you!

Hi All,
What cute photos again, as always! Usually it isn't until we are older we say I am my mom, well when Lily looks back at these she'll see she is her mom already! Toooooo cute. I love the dancing, wish we had that on video. And Jon is changing so much already, looks like such a big boy. Won't be long and Uncle Art won't be able to call him the lump! It's so funny to see Lily carrying her doll just like you carry Jon. We miss you guys!
Love Aunt Bev

Hi Jennifa!
It's March 23rd and I was wondering what happened this week. We're still waiting. All right. . .all right. . .I know that two kids take up all your time! I was happy to see Lily's site updated. I can't help it Jen, I'm a long distance Muma. She is so darned cute. I can't wait to get all the pictures. You share so many, and I know you can't share them all on the web, but we still feel like we're missing something--oh, we are--You! Mem can't wait til I print out all the dance pictures and put them in a book we can flip through and actually watch her dance. Hey, you know what would work--a video!!!! You do have a video recorder. Flip books date back to a gazillion ages ago. We'll be happy, but a new video would be good. Ray--we love you--and we know that you put together the last one. Could we please (pretty please) get a new one??
I love you all and miss you lots--can you tell?
Kisses & hugs to all
Love
Muma

Muma - You are too cute. I'm working on a video as we speak. I have to edit all the pictures for the blog and then I will post. Ray and I have been playing a new card game after the kids go to bed...ask him how many times he's won...?!?! Anyway, that's my excuse for not posting yet!

Hi All,
We miss you all sooooooo much! Uncle Art keeps looking for the lump (aka Jon). I told him he couldn't refer to him as that or it might stick as a nickname. I have the cd with lots of pictures of Jon from my house, will send it soon! It was so neat to hear Lily talking so much! And she even said my name, not Uncle Art though! Our day at the mall with all the rides was so much fun, can't wait til Jon can ride too. And we had so much fun babysitting the last night. I was a bit jealous of Lily sitting on Uncle Artie's lap though, but she danced with me to Barney songs so I guess it's ok. Well we miss you all, wish you were still here so we could go to the zoo! Take care!
Love Aunt Bev & Uncle Art

Hi to all!
Jennifa, I love the pic of you and Lily. There's no denying that you're related! The wind blowing through her hair is cute too! It sure looks like Dan had his hands full! Lily is going through that shy stage and she was that way with everyone down here. Dan just had less time for her to get used to him than the rest of us. I'm sure it was a woman thing when she thought that giving Niki a kiss and not Dan would make him jealous.
Just so everyone else knows, Jon had his bath in the clean side of the kitchen sink--the dishes on the other side were just waiting to be put away. All right, we live in Moon Lake--and that's how we all bathe. NOT!
It was a wonderful visit. Lily looked like she really had a great time at the mall. 'Wish I had been there. I'm glad that you all got to meet some of my new friends. Victoria is still talking about our visit to see her.
Okay, it's after midnight and I'm going to bed. I love you all. Miss you lots.

Hey Jennifa,
I miss you so much already. Nice Pics--specially of me sleeping with Jon. It was soooo much fun having you all here. Nice Pic of Bev and Art with little Jon. As far as the color changing Gold Fish, I thought it was cute. Too bad it dyed Lily's face blue--ooops. Good try on my part, though! It really was nice to see you all. The kid's grow up so fast. I love the way you hooked the binkie up to the toys overhead--did it work???
Lily looked so cute talking on the phone on the plane. I bet she was calling Muma--say yes, even if she wasn't. Grandpa looks content holding Jonathan, aka the lump. Treasure the lump days--it won't be long before we're chasing him all over the house!
Thanks for keeping this site up--I love it!
Love always,
Muma
