Happy Easter!

This is technically Nixon's 2nd Easter, but he was only 3 weeks old last year during the holiday, and we were still too tired to make it to church. So, I kind of consider this his first Easter Holiday.

We didn't do anything special mainly because we spent most of the weekend getting Nathan ready to be out of town for a week for a trial, but we managed to do a few things to celebrate. Saturday morning we attended the annual Easter egg hunt at our church. Sunday we did make it to church and Nixon wore his special Easter outfit that Nanaw sent him. It's a little big (his pants kept falling down if the belt wasn't tight), but nonetheless very cute. He also got his first Easter basket with a few goodies - books, a puzzle, stuffed duck, and plastic sports ball eggs full of cheerios. I know, the cheerios are lame, but I certainly was not going to give him candy, and I don't want a bunch of candy around the house for us to eat either. I'm trying to slim down a bit before hopefully having another child. : )

Nixon's 1st haircut

It was time to get Nixon's hair cut. It had gotten so long over the last few weeks that he had a major mullet and comb-over going on. I guess you could say he was looking like Donald Trump from Hickville, Texas. Our friend Emily came over and did a great job cutting it while he squirmed. He seemed a little annoyed while she was working, but he made it through the process and ended up with a great cut. Now our little baby is officially a little boy!

Why we can't give the dog away

Many of you know that I get really irritated with Otis because of his constant whining and flipping out when people come over and have therefore seriously considered giving him away. After watching this video, you tell me if it's still an option...
