Easter 2009

We spent Easter weekend in Hereford with my side of the family. Georgia and I flew up there since Jacob had been gone looking at cattle all week and just met us in Hereford so we could drive back together. She had an awesome experience for her first flight. A little crying when we were descending into Amarillo but it was just the pressure bothering her ears. I gave her a sippy cup and she made it just fine. We stayed with my sister, Judith, and her family. The twins have grown so much and are just so much fun to be around. They are getting into everything and are quite comical. Georgia really enjoyed playing with them, as well as her other cousins, the Detten kids.

Here's Georgia when we first arrived at the Grotegut's. The boys were pretty excited to see us.

Saturday we surprised my sister, Jessica, with a surprise baby shower. (Which worked out great since she had the baby today - see news below!) We attended church in Umbarger on Sunday. It rained alot on Saturday afternoon so the roads in the country were MUDDY! That's to say the least. Somehow we made it out of the mud and to church in time. Georgia was really good during church. She took her bottle at the beginning of church and went right to sleep. Quite a load to hold though, I had to give her to Jacob later because I couldn't hold her anymore!

Georgia still can't quite figure her Pop out. Not the horrible screaming like before, but she still just doesn't know about him. It is pretty humorous to see her with him.

Georgia after church

Judith insisted we give them some eggs to play with when we got home.

Johan gave her a hug and a kiss!

The trip back took forever! We made several stops to look at cattle (imagine that!) so we didn't get home till after 1 am Monday morning. Georgia took the trip well, but she was pooped out when we got home! The Easter Bunny came to visit her and she got to see her basket of goodies when she got up Monday morning.

Georgia is getting two teeth in on the top! I can't get over how much she is growing. She is excited to meet her future cousin in November (my sister Johnna and her husband Sutton are expecting! Click here to see their blog for the scoop - we are so excited for them!) and also her new cousin, Sam Detten, who was born this afternoon! Click here to see her blog with news on Sam. Congratulations Jessica, Dennis and kids!!! What an awesome year for our family, which is growing quickly!
