Thanks to Uncle Jason for designing it and Aunt Kristy for painting the animals on the walls. (I'm so sad that we did all that work before we moved.)</li>

We usually do a red and silver tree, but Gavin's favorite color is blue, so it was a "Blue Christmas" in the Rogers household. (It was kind of symbolic since my mom would always play Loretta Lynn's "Country Christmas" record during Christmastime when I was a child and "Blue Christmas" was one of my favorite songs.) I didn't really get a chance to take many pictures during the decorating process since I was busy putting hooks on ornaments and keeping Jaxon entertained while Matt and Gavin decorated the tree.<br />
<br />
Gavin insisted on hanging two blue ornaments together because he said they were "friends." This provided us with quite a bit of entertainment. Nothing says "Merry Christmas" like a pair of blue balls dangling from a Christmas tree.<br />

We celebrated 25 Christmas' in this house, since it was my childhood home. Little did we know that positive changes were on the horizon for our family in 2013 and that this was going to be the last Christmas we celebrated here. So many happy memories, it's bittersweet...<br />

November also brought the end of flag football. *tear, tear* Gavin got to celebrate with his team at a local pizza place. They had trophy's and certificates for the players and Gavin was pretty excited about it.<br />

Of course November brought Thanksgiving as well, but I am always terrible about taking pictures on Thanksgiving. I only took the camera out once and got a cute shot of Jaxon with his Uncle Jason.<br />

We visited the beautiful Mission Inn for the Celebration of Lights. It was our first time going during the actual "lighting" and it was crazy! I don't think we'll go again until the kids are older. It was beautiful, but just far too crowded and crazy with two small children.<br />

<br />
You change so much every day. I wasn't great about recording all of the little new things you were able to do, but by the time you reached four months, you had accomplished one major milestone:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li>You can roll over!! I cried because I was at work when you did it for the first time, but we were able to catch it later on video. You rolled over from back to tummy for your Aunt Kiki while she was watching you. You had been working on it for a few days and were so close, but were finally able to accomplish it on Halloween day! Here is the video:</li>

<li>You are finally okay with car rides! Hooray!!! After months of very stressful car rides with you crying every time, you are finally quiet and content. Now this is a great milestone!!</li>

It was so cute to see the little 3- and 4-year-olds out there on the field. Gavin had a blast playing and we think it was a great experience for him.<br />

<br />
While you only been here three months, you are already changing so much! You are an incredibly happy and easy baby! Now that you have learned how to smile, your gummy grin is a permanent fixture on your face. I love and adore you more than you will ever know!! Here are some new things about you this month:<br />
<br />
*I couldn't remember where I had put the camera after our camping trip, so most of the pictures taken this month were from my camera phone, so the quality isn't that great. Sorry!<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>You are an extremely happy baby and you smile all the time - including to Mommy (who had to wait a little longer than Daddy to be the recipient of your sweet smile, but it was worth it!).</li>
</ul>

These past three months have flown by and you are becoming such a big boy! Daddy is doing great taking care of you and Gavin during the day while I work and he is enjoying having that time with you and Gav. But, it has been hard for me to be away from you because I miss you so much!! Although it is also good for me to go back to work, because I have to admit that I was getting far too comfortable wearing pajamas all day and just spending the day snuggling with you. I'm so very grateful to be your mommy and I am so proud of you for all the new things you have accomplished already!</div>
<div>

<div>
I love you to pieces, Jax!</div>

The season started in early October and was scheduled to go about 6 weeks. It included kids ages 3-4. Unfortunately, there weren't enough kids signed up at our local park (which is at the end of my street), so he had to join a team from another park that was a few miles away. He actually missed the first two practices and had to meet his team mates at their first game. It was absolutely the cutest thing though!! All these tiny kids running around the field!<br />
<br />
They had practice twice a week and I figured that it must take a lot of patience to coach a team of 3 and 4 year olds to play any sport. Just keeping their attention takes incredible skill.<br />

Jax did really well overnight, only waking up a couple of times to nurse and then going right back to sleep. The next morning we woke up to the crisp, cool mountain air and prepared to spend the day fishing at the local lake. I have never fished and didn't plan to start, but Gavin was excited about it and even got his very own Spiderman fishing pole for the occasion.<br />

Even though he looked absolutely adorable, Gavin said that the vest was a little heavy, so he let Grandma wear it. Then, the three of them got ready to go catch some fish!<br />

After taking a quick break, Matt, his mom, and Gavin returned to do a little more fishing. Within minutes, Matt's mom came running back for her camera and excitedly telling me that Gavin had caught a fish! We ran back down to the pier and tried to get Gavin to pose with his prize before we let it go, but he did not want to hold the pole at all with the fish on it. So, Matt held the pole while Gavin stood beside it. He was so proud of himself for being the only one to catch a fish that day. I think it's an experience he'll remember for a long time.<br />

After we returned to the campsite for some dinner and s'mores, my poor Jaxon was just about ready to call it a day. I guess camping wears him out!<br />

My sweet Jax,</div>
<br />
You are such a sweet baby! I can't believe how fast the time is going. I was so very sad to have to return to work when you were just 8 weeks. With Gavin, I got to stay home for 5-1/2 months, but unfortunately, I only got the designated 8 weeks with you. My heart was so heavy to leave you on that first day, but I knew that you would be in good hands with Daddy and Gavin. With that being said, here are a few new things about you in month two:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>You absolutely HATE car rides. Just like Gavin. For some reason you both hated car rides as newborns. You cry every time we travel anywhere. I'm hoping you grow out of this soon as well.</li>

I quickly discovered that Jaxon was a very typical wakes-up-every-two-hours-to-eat newborn and decided that it was a good thing that he was so darn cute because that schedule was not much fun for me! I was a walking zombie for the first few days so I was very thankful to have such an intelligent and helpful little 3-year-old by my side. Gavin absolutely loved having Jaxon home. He wanted to hold him every chance he got and was so careful and loving with him, it just melted our hearts.<br />

We settled into a great routine and with Jaxon napping a lot during the day, I was actually able to enjoy a few mommy luxuries such as showering, brushing my teeth, and occasionally even putting make-up on (very occasionally). But with Matt home the first few days, it made it easier to get things done. <br />

My good friend, Courtney, came over to snap a few newborn pictures of Jaxon when he was five days old. I especially wanted a cute picture to use for his birth announcement (which I have yet to send out and as I write this he is 8-1/2 months old - I am sooo on it!). She got some really cute shots!<br />
<br />
This first one didn't come out quite the way we had hoped. It was a Pinterest-inspired shot that could have really been cute, but the lighting wasn't great and we couldn't get the right angle or cooperation from Jaxon. Hee hee...<br />

Gavin continued to be a big help and really adored holding Jaxon. It was so cute to see my little Gavin growing into such a helpful and loving big brother. We are such proud parents!<br />

Giving Jaxon his bath brought back memories of all the wonderful "spa times" we had with Gavin. Jaxon looked so tiny in his tub, but he sure outgrew it quickly! <br />

I used to love taking pictures of Gavin as he slept, but Jaxon was much more sensitive to the flash and would frown every time I snapped his picture when he was sleeping.<br />

I saw this adorable photo idea on Pinterest where the baby is laying on a piece of fabric for each weekly milestone picture and the age of the baby is photoshopped into it. However, my attempt at this did not go so well. I kept it up for a few weeks, this being my first attempt at 2 weeks, but apparently Jaxon didn't like this idea at all.<br />

Gavin wore newborn clothing for the first 3 months of his life, so I bought tons of adorable newborn outfits for Jaxon thinking that he would be the same way. Unfortunately, I was wrong. He stretched out of the newborn size by the end of his first month and I was quickly trying to put all of the cute things on him before they wouldn't fit him anymore. Some things (such as the cute little outfit in this photo) were just put on him for a photo op and were never able to be worn again. *sniff, sniff*</div>

My sweet Jax,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You have melted our hearts this first month and we are so incredibly happy to have two sweet little boys. Here are a few things you have already learned to do in the short time you have been on this earth:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">You are extremely strong and can already lift your head up when laying on your tummy.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">You are learning how to focus when looking at faces.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">You experienced your first bath and it went pretty well.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">You are waking up every 2 hours at night, but hopefully this won't last too long!</li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We love so very much, Jax! You have brought us tremendous joy this past month and filled our hearts with so much love. I never realized that I could fall so completely in love with two sweet little boys, but I have! I have such an amazing and unconditional love for both of my sweet boys. My heart is so full and so happy!</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We love you to pieces!</div>

I was able to get up and walk to the restroom without too much trouble, and my hearing did seem to be improving <i>very</i> <i>slightly</i>. I still couldn't hear very well, but since there was some improvement, it was determined that there wasn't really anything that could be done for me in the hospital and we would just hope that it would fully recover.<br />
<br />
I made sure to have a cute going home outfit for Jaxon since I had forgotten one for Gavin and have always harbored just a little guilt for that. I was so excited to get him dressed and ready to come home! It brought back memories when I placed him in Gavin's old car seat and saw just how tiny he looked in it.<br />

I spent most of the day in the hospital bed, recovering from my c-section, but admiring my adorable Jaxon. My in-laws picked up Gavin so he wouldn't be bored hanging around the hospital, so Matt and I enjoyed the day bonding with our new baby boy. I was a little sad to see Matt leave after visiting hours, but quite confident that I would be just fine since I had spent quite a few nights alone with Gavin in the hospital. As I drifted off to sleep that night, I was looking forward to going home in a day or two and starting our journey as a family of four.<br />

<br />
Shortly after midnight, I woke up with a strange feeling. I quickly realized that I couldn't hear anything. I already have a slight hearing loss, but I couldn't hear <i>anything</i>. When the nurse came in to check on us, I saw her mouth moving, but could not hear any words coming out. I felt panicky, but I thought maybe it would pass and perhaps I just had fluid in my ears or something. I tried to explain to the nurse what was going on so we could communicate somehow. I ended up going back to sleep shortly after that and hoped that my hearing would return once I woke up.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, my hearing did not return when I woke up a few hours later. I could only hear things that were right up to my ear and everything else sounded extremely mumbly. The nurses sounded like the adult characters from "Charlie Brown." It was awful! I called Matt and luckily, I could hear his voice through the phone so I quickly explained what was going on and asked him to come to the hospital quickly. I was so thankful when he arrived. All I could think was that if I had lost my hearing permanently, how would I ever hear my sweet Jaxon when he cried at night? My mom had worn hearing aids for many years and could not hear at all without them and I found myself wishing that she was there to talk to and comfort me.<br />
<br />
Once Matt arrived, he worked as a liaison between me and the nurses. He would "translate" everything anyone said to me by shouting it in my ear. I cried several times because I just wanted to enjoy my first full day with Jaxon and not have to worry about my hearing. The anesthesiologist who gave me the spinal block came to check on me and was quickly assessed on the situation. He looked worried, but said that he had never heard of this happening before. The nurses and several other doctors all agreed that it was very unusual and weren't quite sure why I had lost my hearing.<br />
<br />
I tried to push it out of my mind and just focus on this adorable face. When I went to sleep that night, I prayed that my hearing would return and that we would get to go home the next day and enjoy our time as a family.<br />

Matt and I packed up everything we needed for the hospital and got ready to leave shortly before 6 a.m. Thankfully my brother and his boyfriend had spent the night so Gavin wouldn't have to wake up early and come with us. They were going to get him ready and give him breakfast and then the three of them would come down to the hospital later that morning after Jaxon had arrived.<br />
<br />
Right before we left, I had Matt take one last photo of my pregnant belly.<br />

Once we checked in, we were brought to a tiny room where I was prepped for surgery. I knew that my usual doctor (and the one who had done my c-section with Gavin) was on vacation, so Jaxon would be delivered by a different doctor. I met with him a few days earlier and felt confident in his ability to do a great c-section delivery. They began by hooking the I.V. up to my hand (one of the WORST parts for me!) and of course, the lovely catheter. Then the waiting began...<br />
<br />
And just as the time was about to arrive, I got told that I was getting pushed back an hour due to an emergency c-section. Darn it! Another hour would pass before I would get to hold my sweet baby boy in my arms and smother him with kisses. To say I was excited is a complete understatement. I was so eager to jump on the operating table so I could hear the sound of my sweet baby's cry and see his perfect little face.<br />

When the time finally arrived, I was wheeled into the operating room and injected with the spinal block. Now, I don't know if it's the fact that I was having painful contractions with Gavin, or the fact that it was an emergency and everything was very rushed, or even the fact that it was three years ago and I just don't remember, but the spinal block seemed much worse than the epidural I received with Gavin. I felt the agonizing pinch as the needle went into my spine and it seemed to be a painstakingly slow process. Once that was done, I immediately felt tingling numbness shoot through my legs. They laid me down on the table and let Matt in so he could be by my side.<br />
<br />
And...at 9:12 a.m., Jaxon Matthew Rogers was born! 7 lbs 7 oz, 19-3/4 inches long and another incredible blessing in our lives! He was almost the same size as Gavin was at birth - 7 lbs 9 oz and 18-1/2 inches long.<br />
<br />
When I heard his tiny cry, I cried tears of joy! And when I finally got to see his adorable face, I had tears streaming down mine. I immediately felt so much love for this tiny little perfect being. I was officially a mommy to two precious boys. Two boys who will forever have my heart and who I will forever love unconditionally. I knew at that moment that my mom was right -- I felt tremendous love for my sweet little Jaxon!<br />

I was determined to do things "right" this time around. With Gavin, I didn't have a hospital bag prepared when my water broke in the middle of the night, so I was standing with a towel between my legs frantically directing Matt on what to pack. In my haste, I neglected to pack a going home outfit for Gavin. So, I will always regret the fact that my sweet boy came home in a regular onesie that my sister quickly picked up from the house for us. I know, how awful, right?<br />
<br />
So this time, I was much more prepared. In addition to packing a hospital bag for Jaxon (along with my "Hospital Survival Kit" from Courtney), I had made a "Big Brother Bag" for Gavin (thank you, Pinterest). I filled it with goodies such as snacks, toys, and books to keep him entertained while waiting in the hospital. With all the excitement surrounding the birth of a new baby, I wanted to make sure that Gavin felt special, too.<br />

I also used the leftover personalized kisses from my baby sprinkle to create little gifts for the nurses. I think they came out pretty cute.<br />

My final project was to design matching brother shirts for the boys. Luckily, my father-in-law was able to transfer my designs to shirts and have them ready for me the night before. That way, Gavin could wear his shirt to the hospital so everyone would know that he was going to be a big brother!<br />

I went to bed that night so excited and anxious to meet my sweet Jaxon!

It was only a week before Jaxon was scheduled to arrive. We always have a party at our house because we have an amazing view of the fireworks from our front lawn and this year would not be any different.<br />
<br />
I know I've said it before, but I <i>love</i> Pinterest. This cute and simple little red, white, and blue snack idea was snagged from the wonderful website.<br />

It is not apparent from the picture below, but I was feeling <i>really </i>uncomfortable by this point. Just a week away from Jaxon's arrival, I was really feeling the extra weight. My feet constantly hurt and even got swollen this time around. We were working 4-10's at work and I rarely made it through the entire week. I couldn't get a good night's rest because whatever side I was laying on would start to go numb after a while and I would have to wake up to roll over. And rolling over at 38 weeks pregnant is not an easy task - I would grunt and groan through the entire process. And the pressure had to be the worst! I felt that Jaxon was just going to pop his little head through at any moment. So although this pregnancy was just as wonderful for the first 8 months as my pregnancy with Gavin, the final month (or final three weeks, rather), were really rough!<br />

(We are all thankful that he didn't arrive early!) Since we had saved <i>everything</i> from when Gavin was a baby, there really wasn't too much more that we needed. Therefore, rather than having another baby "shower," Patty (with some help from my good friend, Courtney) threw me an adorable mommy-themed blue and brown baby "sprinkle." Everything was just adorable! She really thought out all the details and made it a very special day for me.<br />
<br />
Courtney made the adorable invitations and requested that guests bring a book rather than a card, to get Jaxon's library started. I was so very pleased with the way they came out!<br />

I had a wonderful day and am truly so thankful for my wonderful family and friends. Matt's parents even bought us the Graco Duo Glider stroller that we wanted. Since we kept just about everything from when Gavin was a baby, we really didn't need to buy much other than diapers! <br />

Some family and friends also thought of Gavin during the Baby Sprinkle, so he got several gifts as well. He was very excited to open them once I got home.<br />

<br />
I felt some guilt during this pregnancy because, unlike my pregnancy with Gavin, I didn't have time to truly enjoy being pregnant. From the time I learned I was pregnant in November, the holidays were upon us and, right after the new year, I started student teaching. Student teaching lasted four months and during that time, I was so busy lesson planning and finishing up exams and school work, I didn't have time to truly focus on my pregnancy. I was also squeezing in trips to the obstetrician and other pregnancy-related exams. It was a very busy time!<br />

Student teaching was the final step before my credential was complete (but it also meant that I had to complete TPA #3 and #4, two long and intense teaching exams). I knew that I wanted to complete my credential prior to the birth of baby #2 because I knew that it would only get harder to do with two little ones at home. So, I started student teaching in a 2nd grade classroom in January through the end of February and completed TPA #3 during that time - and passed!! Hooray! Then, in March, I moved to a different school to student teach in a 4th grade classroom and also completed (and passed!) TPA #4. Hooray again! Finishing my teaching credential (while pregnant) was such a big accomplishment and I was so very thankful to finally be done.<br />

Overall, my student teaching experience was wonderful. I was lucky enough to be with two very caring and supportive teachers who I continue to keep in contact with. I was a bit discouraged, however, because teaching itself was not quite what I had imagined it to be. Although, I think that may have had to do with a combination of being pregnant and hormonal, being a perfectionist, and being unsatisfied with the curriculum and class requirements. I guess there's no need to explain why being pregnant played a role in my overall attitude and emotions during student teaching. And being a perfectionist just added to my stress because I felt every lesson had to be perfect. I wanted every child to be engaged and every lesson to be the most amazing lesson the students had ever had. Realistically, I knew that wasn't going to happen. But it sounded great in theory. I also added stress to myself by bringing the Teacher's Manuals home each night and hoping to have time to read every single item for the following day until it was engrained in my brain and I could recite it by memory. Well, since Matt works nights and I was home alone with Gavin, that rarely--if ever--happened. In addition, I was unsatisfied with the fact that the students did language arts nearly all day, save for an hour or two of mathematics and some physical education. This was not how I remembered school. We did science, social studies, art, language arts, mathematics, physical education, and other subjects equally. The Teacher's Manuals didn't help, either. They listed exactly what the teacher is to do and say at certain points. They even offer possible answers that the students "should" give. It all just seemed very strange to me. There didn't seem to be a lot of room for creative thinking. And the schedule also bothered me. At the second grade level, the students switched classes twice a day - once based on their ability level and another time based on their language level. At one point during the day, the class I was in would have 40 second grade students! It was especially difficult since the students can change levels throughout the year and I didn't know most of their names. This made discipline and classroom management very difficult with that group. Anyway, I am trying not to be too discouraged since teaching has been my dream job since I was in elementary school. I am determined to make a difference and try to find ways to incorporate creativity and fun into my classroom (when teaching jobs finally become available, that is). Grrr... Oh well, I guess that's enough about that.<br />

As my student teaching came to an end, I was finally able to breathe and think about the arrival of Baby #2 (who still did not have a name at this point, but we did know that we were having another boy!). The month of May brought two special celebrations: Mother's Day and my 30th birthday! I felt so excited knowing that I would be a mother of two wonderful boys for my next Mother's Day. For my birthday, my sweet Gavin told me that morning, "Daddy and I got you a surprise for your birthday today, but I can't you what it is. We got it at the jewelry store." I had specifically asked for a second pair of diamond earrings with real gold posts (for my second hole) since my ears can no longer take the cheap posts from the mall stores I shopped at in my teens and early twenties. Darn! So, I had an idea about what I going to receive. Ha! I love my sweet boy. It was an great birthday and I felt so thankful to spend it with my sweet little family.<br />

The month of June brought quite a bit of anxiety. I worried that my sweet Gavin would feel that he wasn't getting the attention he was used to. For the first 3-1/2 years of his life, he was used to being the sole recipient of all of our attention and that was about to change. He would now share that love and attention with his baby brother. And with the amount of care a new baby requires, I just worried that Gavin would feel left out. I was hoping and praying that that would not happen, as it would just break my heart. In addition to that, I also wondered, <i>would I have enough love for another baby?</i> It sounds awful to say, but I have such an incredible, unconditional love for my sweet Gavin, it seemed crazy to think that I could love another child just as much. But talking to other parents, I knew I wasn't alone. It is a common worry among parents having a second child. I remember my mom telling me, <i>"Do you think I love you and your sisters any less than I love your brother?" </i>Of course not. But that didn't seem to ease my anxiety any.<br />

The month of June was also time to try to finish up the nursery so that our sweet baby would have a place of his own where he would get his diapers and clothing changed, and eventually sleep at night. For the first three months, at least, he would be sleeping in the bassinet right beside our bed. As the month draws to an end, I am extremely excited for the moment when my sweet...wait for it...JAXON will be placed in my arms. Yes, we finally chose a name and went with an untraditional spelling for a couple reasons. First, I wanted both boys' names to be five letters and end with an "n," and second, I am not fond of the name "Jack" but I love "Jax." I know some people also keep the "s" and spell it "Jaxson;" however, I believe the "x" replaces the "cks" so to me, the "s" makes it seem like it would be pronounced as two separate words "Jax-son." I'm sure I'm over-thinking it...<br />
<br />
Soon enough our little family of three would be a family of four and I couldn't have been any more excited!! I couldn't wait to hold my sweet little Jaxon!Kelly Rogershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08774586003242648130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-368616417556249092.post-18095692243846835632013-01-11T23:22:00.003-08:002013-01-11T23:22:55.557-08:00GavinismsEver since Gavin began talking, people have constantly commented on his amazing verbal skills. He has an extremely advanced vocabulary and people are always shocked when they learn how old he is because they assume he's older. So, it's confirmed, my son is a genius.<br />
<br />
Everything he says just truly melts my heart and makes me so thankful that I am his mommy. Here are a few sweet "Gavinisms" from the month after his 3rd birthday.<br />
<br />
I was having a particularly tough night thinking about my mom and was crying over it. Gavin laid next to me, rubbed his little hand on my arm, and said in the sincerest little voice, "Don't cry, Mama. It breaks my <i>heart.</i>"<br />
<br />
Gavin and I were talking about working out and eating healthy:<br />
Me: "Is Subway healthy?"<br />
Gavin: "Uh-huh."<br />
Me: "...And is a cookie healthy?"<br />
Gavin: "No. It's a treat, <i>remember</i>?"<br />
<br />
Gavin asked about the rain, so we had a little conversation about it. The end of it went like this:<br />
Me: "Why are the clouds holding water?"<br />
Gavin: "The water goes up from the ocean and then the clouds squeeze it out!"<br />
<br />
I told Gavin that he wasn't supposed to eat candy before dinner and he said, "I'm sorry, Mama. It wasn't my fault. My tummy just said, <i>'I want candy!' </i>[in a deep, manly voice]."<br />
<br />
Gavin wanted me to get him something from the kitchen and he said to me, "Come on, Mama. Come on, sweetheart." Ha ha!<br />
<br />
I love my little man!<br />

For the past couple of years, Matt and Gavin get going at about 5:00 a.m. (too early for me for a Saturday) to meet up with my Dad and get a good spot at the show. I can then sleep in and meet up with them later. That arrangement was perfect for me this year since I was just a little over a week into my third trimester and already feeling pretty tired. When I met up with the boys (close to noon...hee hee!), Gavin proudly showed off his new "hot rods" that Matt had purchased for him off of the Hot Wheels truck. He was one happy boy!<br />

It seems like he always has a cold; and when Gavin has a cold, he uses his arm or shirt to constantly wipe his snot across his right cheek. After several wipes, his upper lip and cheek begin to turn red and raw. This is quite obvious in the all of the pictures taken during this time. However, it didn't deter him from having a wonderful time painting eggs and searching for them the following day.<br />

When Gavin awoke on Easter Sunday, he searched the house for his basket that the Easter Bunny had hidden. He found it rather quickly and got right to exploring all of his goodies (the Easter Bunny might need to be a little craftier with his hiding spot next year). <br />

Later that day, we went to Matt's parents' house for Gavin to do his annual Easter egg hunt. He had so much fun searching for eggs that he didn't want to stop. He insisted that there were more eggs still "hiding" even after we told him he had found them all.<br />
