easter!

we went down to orange county for easter and had such a great time. ginni bought the boys matching outfits for the occasion, and between me, jenny and ginni we took literally hundreds of pictures. they looked so cute! jenny snapped the best pictures but here are a few that i took that turned out okay.

neither aidan nor sullivan wanted to keep the bunny ears on, but how sweet does aidan look? i can't get over his expression.

if it resembles a ball, sullivan is going to throw it.

big smile!

look what i have mom!

the other notable thing about this day was the earthquake. i have experienced three or four earthquakes since i have lived in california, but this was by far the biggest. i was also upstairs taking a nap when it hit, and i think i felt it even more up there. it was like a big semi was driving by...but it didn't stop, and suddenly it got stronger. i was kind of groggy from my nap and before i could really react ryan came to get me and we all went into the back yard. later we found out it was a 7.2 and the epicenter was just south of the boarder in mexico. exciting, but quite unsettling at the same time. the ground just isn't supposed to move like that.

back from sabbatical

phew! it has been a long time since i've posted anything (obviously). the excuse for this is the same excuse i have for everything: i'm exhausted! chasing sully around tires me out when i'm not 8 months pregnant, and now that i have to maneuver around my exponentially growing belly it has complicated things considerably. i feel like a normal human being about 10% of the time, like when i'm sitting on couch, or sometimes driving around i hardly feel pregnant at all. the rest of the time, i'm trying to sleep or move around with a wiggly beach ball attached to my stomach. and i'm wondering, 'when can i sit/lay down/eat/nap?' i have also come to the grim realization that i had my last really good night's sleep sometime in february, and will not likely sleep well again until at least september.

with that being said, i'm really going to focus on keeping the blog relatively up-to-date. we take a ton of pictures and i enjoy doing it. i also know that my faithful readers (wink wink) love reading updates and seeing new pictures of sully and our goings-on up here on the central coast. so without further delay, i will get the first of a few new posts up. it's good to be back.
