Besides Theo's birthday at the end of this month, Easter of 2009 was really the last holiday that we celebrated without Rubin. From here on out I'll no longer be able to write Rubin's first Independence Day or Rubin's first Labor Day or Rubin's first Christmas. Our first year as a family of five is nearly over, and soon enough we'll start counting twos. (And everybody knows, after firsts, you just don't keep track as well. At least, you don't if you have three kids!)
Anyway, it was Rubin's first Easter home and, since Dave had to work, the boys and I took a road trip to Grandma's house for the weekend. We had so much fun with Grandma and Grandpa Yucky, aunts and uncles and cousins and friends.
We took in the NEW Zoo with Lora and Zeek. We ventured out to the tree farm in the evening to eavesdrop on the spring peepers. We hit the campaign trails for Grandpa Y., and we hunted for Easter eggs and baskets before church on Sunday morning.
At the zoo.
Playing in Zeek's woods.
On the hunt.
Trying to get a shot of Grandma with most of her grandsons.
And then, on the ride home,
something that has NEVER happened before...
Another FIRST for Rubin, Theo, & Emmett:
One pleased mama!

OMG, the thumbs-up from mama? HA! Love it. I also love the three konked out.
Whoa...that must have been some HARD playing...to knock them ALL out at once!
Look at those three all zonked at the same time! Wow! Must have been quiet in that car. I love the photo of them all playing in Zeek's Woods and seeing Rubin as the passenger in Theo's off-road vehicle. Hee hee.
What a fun weekend! I love those last two photos!!!
Guess what?! I think I have those sunglasses!!
I love that there's a picture of YOU! xo
OMG... *love* the sleeping kiddos picture! That's fabulous! (Love the other shots as well, but I'm such a sucker for a good sleeping photo) And the thumbs up?! Awesome!
Three little ones all sleeping at the same time totally deserves a thumbs up!! ( and the photo is just adorable to boot!)
amazing. remember when we took trips home together when nora and emmett were babies and we'd swap spending time crouched between their 2 seats, trying to keep them entertained??? with gabe, lucy, and theo squeezed together in back? yeesh.
I love your three boys all sleeping at the same time--lucky you! Looks like a great weekend with your family!
What a fun weekend! Love all the photos, but I especially love the one with grandma and all of the boys. There are only boys on both sides of the family so we will probably have similar pictures:)
The end of the firsts...bittersweet.
Glad you got a nice ride home with 3 sleepy boys.
Looks like a great Easter! Oh my gosh, the three of them asleep together is just perfect! I would be all thumbs up, as well, lol!
btw, I love your hair!
Love the thumbs up! After dealing with some sleep issues over the past few days I am now discovering how important sleep really is! Thumbs up indeed mama!
All 3 sleeping in the car at once?!? 2 thumbs up from me, mama!
Happy Easter!
Can you get any cuter?
Love this photo of you at end. Truly when Mama is happy, EVERYONE is happy :) Glad you had a nice Easter love. I get to see you SOON! WOOOO
what a great Easter gift for you! all 3 boys sleeping at once! yippee!
