Peter Rabbit

We started off Easter week with a visit from our own personal Easter Bunny. Jackson has named him Peter Rabbit, and we see him almost every day. He eats our weeds, and some of our flowers. I think he is actually a few different rabbits, but nonetheless, he's so much fun to have around! The boys feed him carrots, so he keeps coming back. And I'm hoping to teach him a few tricks before Charlie's first birthday (it will be a Peter Rabbit party) and he can be the entertainment.
While we were watching Peter from our kitchen window, Jackson really wanted to go out and play in the rain. Of course, it stopped raining when we got outside, so he was disappointed.

Jackson LOVES his umbrella - (thanks Jessica!)


But Colin kept shaking the tree for Jackson so he could pretend it was raining, and he was thrilled about that.

I just had the best memory about my dad.
He would open the garage doors (actually, it might have been before we had any doors) and he would put out two lawn chairs for us, and we would just sit and enjoy the storm.
There was no way I would have sat out there with all the lightning and thunder without him, but with him next to me it was so wonderfully fun.
I feel it is a gift from God when I have such an unexpected rich memory of my dad.
