Happy Easter! Happy Birthday, Micah!





Singing "Happy Birthday" to Micah...

We had an early morning today (literally, Ellie woke up at 4AM so after it was evident she wasn't going back to sleep, we loaded up the car and got back to Kentucky in time for naptime this afternoon). Students started rolling back into town later this evening.
It felt like a whirlwind trip to Illinois, but we were able to spend time with lots of family, including be with Nathan's nephew Micah on his birthday! This year his birthday happened to fall on Easter so his party had lots of fun stuff for the young ones. Nonna and PaPa Waggoner had sent Easter baskets for the Waggoner grandkids. Ellie still doesn't get the "present" thing yet, but had fun crinkling the celophane wrapping and watching her cousins' reactions.

Part of the reason Ellie awoke so early this morning is that she has another cold (the runny nose which we thought was from teething has settled into a bona fide cold). She wasn't her usual pleasant self most of the weekend feeling miserable and adjusting to a different schedule and time zone, but she seems to be feeling better now that we're home again.

For another perspective on some of our weekend's activities, read my brother-in-law's 2 most recent posts ("$4 corn" & "field report") on www.houseofshaw.blogspot.com.
