Easter

More Easter fun with Alex (and cousins) at the Eggosaurus Hunt, put on by Phoenix Parks and Rec:


They do a great job and the kids really have fun. Free egg hunts and a craft area for everyone to get artistic.


And Alex at home. Notice we come at Alex from both directions with the gifts (dinos and Narnia). :-)


Last year's festivities, Easter '05, show just how much Alex has changed.

WOW...it's amazing how much they change in a year! Looks like he had a grand time!

Thanks. He did have a blast.

The glasses help to make him look older too. He's had them for about a month. He'd been squinting and complaining of headaches, so we had his eyes checked and they said he had a slight astigmatism. They're supposed to eventually correct his vision and he won't need them any more.

Dback: That's what they said about my eyes when I was 7... still wearin glasses. Though my problem is hereditary.

Cute pictures.

Aw, man. I thought you would post pictures of your morning in church!
*wink*
Alex is looking so grown up. *sniff*

Laura,
His vision issues are more because of his being born early. Preemies are more prone to retinopathy of prematurity. Their retinas are still growing after they are born. Usually it takes care of itself OK but they are more prone to vision issues early on. We can only hope that he grows out of it. But if not, he seems OK with the glasses. I think the pre-school chicks dig 'em. :-)

Sadie,
I'm a bad person ... I ended up not going to church on Sunday. I made up some lame excuse about having to kill weeds and spray for bugs, etc. Michelle was not surprised. She did say that the sermon probably would not have interested me in that it was a very traditional Easter service (which it should be). On normal non-holiday weeks, Pastor Paul does a very good job of incorporating every day life, the plight of the poor, hunger, etc. into his sermons and they are fascinating and relevant even to non-Christians.
