My first official Mothers Day

Happy Mothers Day too all of you Moms. I feel so lucky to part of this group now and have a new respect for all the moms of the world. I "get it" now :)

Last weekend while in the Spokane area visiting my family I hooked up with an old High School friend. She is a photographer (and a mighty good one, I might add) in Spokane and took some photos of Keaton and myself. We had such a fun time, despite the wind and here are the results of her hard work.

Thanks Rachel!!!!

Happy Easter from the Dahlberg's

Today we were able to spend a wonderful Easter Sunday (Keaton's first Easter) with Nana. It was a fun filled day. We started the day off by attending the early Easter service at St. Michael's with Nana. It was a very nice service during which Keaton enjoyed people watching a playing with Nana's watch. After Keaton took a nap to recharge his batteries, we heading off to Albertson's Park for some family pictures then out to Easter brunch. Since it was such a nice day out we decided to delay the start of Keaton's second nap and headed to the park so Keaton could play and enjoy his first really nice spring day. He played for close to an hour then hit the wall which was good because all three of us needed a nap. We then closed off the day by having burgers at Papa's House with Nana, Papa and Uncle Donny. All-in-all it was a great Easter Sunday spent with our wonderful family. It's days like this that make you realize just how great you have it and how wonderful life truly is. Happy Easter everybody.

Friday night...

On Friday night Mike's parents (Nana and Papa) were kind enough to watch Keaton while Mike and I had a date. Here are some photos they took while Keaton was over. He said he had a great time and can't wait for their next date :) Thanks Ed and Donna.

I thought I'd give you all a taste of what Danielle and I have been doing the past two weeks. We've chased Keaton up the stairs more times than I care to think about. Enjoy.
