Easter 2020

Definitely a different Easter for us- and everyone- but we still had a great time (despite missing our extended family). 

Cedar Park went under a Tornado Warning, so Barrett woke the family up at 5:45 am so we could be prepared to get in the closet under the stairs if needed! We were all half asleep on the couch watching the updates for 15 minutes, when the news guy announced, "It's over- get out of your safe places! I repeat, it's over. All is fine!" 

Well, of course, the kids were up at that point! When I said Happy Easter, they (seemingly having forgotten what day is was!) went in search of their Easter Baskets. AND they found them!! They told me Easter Bunnies don't get the Corona Virus- great news! 

Baskets that the kids found! 
 They got busy right away searching through the treats from the Easter Bunny!
 I took a nap, and they went to get donuts. 
 After a great church service (streamed in), we got ready for our egg hunt. Each kid got to collect 30 eggs plus a bonus yellow egg with their name on it (hidden a little more than the rest!). 


 Ready to go!



 Off they go!


 Skye dog being very helpful! 
  







 Bella thinks it's time to give lots of kisses when I try to do core work or stretching! 

We also snuck in a good bike ride, and then headed down to Westlake for an afternoon birthday parade for our dear friend Karyn! 




A different Easter for sure, but we managed to have a pretty great day under these weird circumstances!! 

Here's a little time lapse of our egg hunt!

Soccer Shots

After a break over the summer, we got LJ back into soccer for the fall- and this time we tried Saturday mornings. We were hoping that he would do better first thing in the morning than he did at 4:15 in the afternoon (often after being woken up early from his nap)... But so far we don't see a big jump in excitement to be there :(. Is nice that Eagle Jr and Ben are there too! Warm up... (LJ is in turquoise shirt) Eagle Jr kicking ... LJ making a goal!! Little sibling cheering blanket (and Aunt Funny!) Here is a video of the end of class...  http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=4KixcfwvBSY - The Wood Family

WHPP Thanksgiving Sharing Lunches

Image
Both boys had 'sharing' lunches in their classes for their Thanksgiving celebrations. Barrett and I decided to each go to one boy's class so they both had a parent there (what happens with 3?!). I went to Evan's class acne I am the room mother in his class and helped organize the food, and Barrett went to LJ's.  Evan was so happy to have me there! As soon as I walked in he got up and found me a chair so I could sit next to him! Loved it!    Then at 12:30 we headed to the church sanctuary for a performance from all the 3 and 4 year old classes. LJ was already sitting with his class on the stage when Evan and I joined Barrett in there, and LJ was so excited to see us! He kept yelling hi, waving, and being silly!     The performance was about 25 minutes of singing songs, and they were so cute!!  They did bible songs, silly songs, and songs in spanish and with sign language. However, LJ really did not participate in most of the

Meet Baby #3! First Trimester- Size Comparison and update

Image
If you missed the blog about finding out we were pregnant (and want to read the story), go to: http://woodfamfun.blogspot.com/2014/05/las-vegas-and-day-we-will-never-forget.html In each pregnancy, I have read daily and weekly emails (and books) describing how the baby is developing that day/ week. And each week, they compare the size of the baby to a fruit or vegetable. So this pregnancy, I decided to attempt a weekly picture with the fruit or vegetable that is the average size of my baby at that week gestation. It has been fun to see and hold the fruit and realize a little baby is that size growing in me in each week! Although, Barrett has had a hard time eating whatever the fruit or veggie is for that week (I don't at all!!)!  I started at week 5 since I didn't realize I was pregnant until late in Week 4!  My first trimester was pretty rough! I was very sick from just before 7 weeks until, miraculously at 13 weeks, 2 d
