Almost Easter.....

I I am not sure if Ben actually knows what the Easter Bunny is and that he will be getting a mountain of gifts (Yes, Phil has reminded me again tonight that this is not Christmas, rather Easter. And that I am never allowed to go guilt shopping again before a holiday:)) But he does know that we have a ton of candy in the house. He is asking for a Treat about every 5 minutes:)
He is feeling good (for this week, I am sure next week it will be something!) but for now he is doing well. He is talking more and more and putting more words together. You can have a conversation with him now.
Here is a picture taken this week of he and I hanging out in the kitchen - he has really gotten into calling our names lately, just becuase he knows it gets a reaction. So most of the night is spent answering to him yelling "Mama! Mama! or Daddy! Daddy!". Great fun.
Also, here is a picture of his new shelf and name letters in his room. It looks fantastic in there! Our friend Janell's dad made this for us - he did an amazing job. It was so nice of him to do that for us, we LOVE it:) It looks great on the wall in his room.
Tomorrow Karen comes up to visit for the night. She and I are going to spend Saturday afternoon at the ProClub (Ahhhh....a massage!) and then have a relaxing night in, I think movies are on the agenda. Then she will be here for Easter dinner. We are going to forgo the ham this year and have steaks on the grill. Can't wait!
Only 7 weeks until Ben and I get to go home:) I am so ready to see everyone again.
Happy Easter!
