Biblical humor for the win

On our way home from Hartley Street Tuesday, we saw a beautiful rainbow. Having lived in Hawaii, Jon saw rainbows everyday, but they are more of a rarity for me. The one pictured here came after leaving our house that has been on the market for months, so I'm hoping that it was a sign that the "flood" is over and our house will sell soon. Jon suggested we send Jude out the window to see what he came back with :)

Over the weekend we took Jude to Kidzu in Chapel Hill, a hands-on museum for little ones. It has everything a kid would want to play with and nothing is off limits. The museum is free on Sunday afternoons, so we had an even better time! Afterwards, we enjoyed some Ben & Jerry's while Jude had a bottle.

Easter

We had a fantastic family day today. C & A made a great lunch with ham, yams, rolls, and salad. Jon and I attempted a Derby Pie for dessert, but it didn't set in the oven. We salvaged it by cutting the part that was done away from the middle, which was a giant puddle of corn syrup, and serving Derby pie bars instead. Ding!

We spent the afternoon in the park and the evening at Tobacco Road. We ate outside on the sidewalk in the comfy patio chairs. The entrees here are big enough to share, and you can see at least two televisions even outside. The atmosphere was relaxed and the evening was breezy.

We capped the day off at Turkish Delights for some baklava (or at least Chris and I did). If you haven't stopped in the purple coffee house on Glenwood, then you are missing out. They have many varieties of baklava, ice cream, coffee, and, like the name says, Turkish Delights.

The best part of the day was being all together and seeing how much Jude enjoyed every moment. He enjoyed it so much that he clapped his hands for the first time today! We were all so thrilled by it that he continued to do it all afternoon for our entertainment, I sure. Jude is also doing the sign for "eat" and the sign for "more." He's super neat-o.

Park and Ride

We live very close to a park, so Jude and I have started to head there on days when the temperature permits. He loves the swings and climbing on the equipment. Here are some shots and a video from today. I need to buy him some baby shoes for climbing. When we got home, his socks were yellow from pollen.

Scaling the gate

Jude has started to get more into extreme sports. This video is his first attempt at baby gate climbing.

Lock up your daughters!

Jude's top front teeth are coming in, making a grand total of 6 for now. In the bottom pic, he is looking at his new Peek-A-Boo book, which he loves. (Clara likes it too)!
