Easter

We had such a fun Easter trip to Missouri! We got to go to some baseball games and watch the Redhawks win!!! Chapman fell in the biggest mud puddle you have ever seen (he was trying to fall in it - don't kid yourself) and had to take off all of his clothes. I had an extra set of shorts & undies for potty training accidents, but no extra shirt. That is why he is seen here with no shirt on. He got to run the bases after the game and had a ball.

Later that night, we had a special visitor! : )

Who could it be and more importantly....will I like them???

The Easter Bunny himself!!! Chapman is a little shocked.


Chapman is not happy with the Easter Bunny. Mitch said he was holding on to him for dear life. Caroline doesn't seem to mind at all!

The Easter Bunny turned out to be okay after a few minutes. And later Chapman & I got carrots out for him to enjoy when he returned later that night.

The Easter Bunny *loves* carrots and was so glad Chapman picked out 3 for him to eat! : )

The next morning the Easter Bunny had returned and had hidden eggs and left a basket full of goodies.

Of course, the real reason we celebrate Easter is because our savior is RISEN and has overcome death. PRAISE BE TO GOD, GLORY IN THE HIGHEST!!!!!

Put Me In Bop (Coach) ...I'm Ready to Play!

Chapman's little cheerleader can only watch so many reps before she needs another nap! Sweet baby girl!

Our little lefty is loving the warm weather. No more "wall ball" inside against the foyer wall...we can go out and really play! Chapman is always the pitcher and we have to hit. When you hit the ball, he throws down his glove and runs the bases. It is hilarious! These pictures show him "pitching."

He does this first - puts the glove up to his face and says, "Ba, Ba" right before he throws it. He told me he is saying "Batter" but prefers the shorter version.

Nice form, right?? We're pretty sure he's gonna have a mad fastball one day! Put me in Bop...I'm ready to play!!!

Caroline's Nursery

I have been meaning to post pictures of Caroline's room since before she was born. You see how well that worked out! : ) Anyway, here they are:

This picture was painted by our preachers wife who is an artist. I bought this because I just loved it long before we knew we were having a girl. I'm sure glad we had Caroline because I was thrilled to be able to put it in her room.

The patinting is above the rocking chair. My super talented friend, Amy Norris (Brownie Goose owner) made the pillows for me.


Her crib bedding

The whole ensamble.

We had so much fun decorating this room for our sweet little princess!

And on another note, Chapman has just been precious with her. Our tax lady stopped by the other day to drop some paperwork off and Chapman told her, "I fish Shi-i-nine all day." Translation: "I kiss Caroline all day." Mitch & I were so proud. This is actually true! He will kiss her way before Mitch & I can even sneak one from him. Caroline is 9 weeks tomorrow and going for her shots on Tuesday. Time flies when you're having fun!

Fun Times

We have been having so much fun lately! Saturday Chapman went to Chuck-E-Cheese for the first time. He had a blast playing and couldn't decide which game to do next.

Here he is with his sweet friend, Chandler Reese.

Chapman loved this game : )

We got snow again! And lots of it! Enough for Chapman & Mitch to build a snowman. They had a blast playing outside.

We are potty training right now, too. Chapman is doing so well with it. We are so proud of him. And baseball season is here!! We are headed to Auburn tomorrow to see the Redhawks in action. Chapman has been talking about "Bops Team" for so long now....I'm glad we're finally going to see them! We've been practicing hitting, catching, and fielding all winter long. : )

Our Sweethearts

We have been having so much fun with our new little girl! Chapman is a wonderful big brother and even tries to share his lovie and paci with her! (This is a big deal because he is very protective of it!!) Caroline is doing great. We had her weight checked last Thursday and she weighed 7lbs, 1oz. We were really excited! Here are some pics of her & Chapman.

Is this bow not super cute??? I know if you have a girl this may not be a big deal but I *love* it!

Our Sweet Caroline

Hey Everyone! We welcomed our sweet little Caroline Mae into the world on Monday, December 28th. She was born at 8:30am and weighed 6lbs. We are doing great and are loving having a little girl. Chapman is so sweet with her and wants to "fish Shi-a-nine" all of the time. That means "Kiss Caroline." So far she is sleeping great and nursing is going well too. Sorry it has taken me a while to get pictures up. Things are a little busy with 2!

Snow in Mississippi.....What???

We got snow last night and so this morning Mitch took Chapman out to play. You'll notice that there isn't much at all but they had fun making snow balls and throwing them at the fence. Chapman also wore his rain boots for the first time today that he has refused to wear in the past. After splashing in puddles at the grocery store parking lot earlier this morning, I am pretty sure they are his new fav! : )
