Happy Easter

Katherine is 3 weeks old this week and we're slowly adjusting to life with a newborn.  I can't believe how fast she is growing.  She already looks so much different from when we first brought her home. 

Katherine celebrated her first Easter this weekend.  I've had her Easter dress for over a month.  I bought it at Sprung, one of my new favorite children's resale stores.  She looked adorable.  Luckily I took her picture before church because after she completely destroyed it with a nasty blow-out.  Oh well.  She wore it to church and that's all that matters.

I was a little nervous about taking her to church for the first time.  I didn't know how she'd do.  I was even more nervous that she'd make a loud poop sound during a prayer.  We decided to go anyway, despite our fears.  I panicked when the service started with a bagpiper.  Bagpipes?  Really?  But she slept through the whole thing (amazing how she'll sleep through bagpipes but not through the night).  We successfully made it through our first church service.  Triumph #1 of the day.  After church we went to our friends' house for egg hunting and Easter lunch.  We successfully made it through our first out-of-the-house social gathering.  Triumph #2.

Of course the Easter bunny visited Katherine and left a small basket with some baby goodies.    

I somehow found time to make this month's chocolate dessert from my "Year of Chocolate Desserts" magazine article.  This month's dessert was "Hot Fudge Easter Sundae."  It was basically a recipe for making hot fudge, but still good.

In other news, today is baseball's opening day.  Of course Katherine has to be dressed for the occasion.
