Happy Birthday, Abby!
I don't know where the time goes, but Abby is now 3 years old. We celebrated with the whole family (and Tinkerbell) with cake, ice cream, and dinner on the grill (the rain was kind enough to subside by then). Abby got Barbies, Tinkerbell stuff for her bedroom, a Dora scooter, and gasped, "Oh...my...god!" at new clothes for her Dora doll.

Here Comes Peter Cottontail
Yes, the Easter Bunny came to the Leming home. And he would be sitting in jail facing larceny charges if it was up to Abby. First Santa was a home invader, now the Easter Bunny was going to steal Abby's basket. The poor girl is going to need therapy.
We are happy to report that Abby did, in fact, find her missing Easter basket (behind the couch in her toys), as did Nate and Mommy and Daddy. All Easter goodies were accounted for, except for Abby's "bellyjeans" and chocolate bunny. Those items seemed to go missing as soon as Mommy left the room.
The Platt crew came over for some Easter brunch (complete with mimosas--nice!). We enjoyed some Easter Wii and Easter Sorry. Then we went to Grandma Eva and Grandpa Steve's for dinner with the Leming crew. Tragedy struck after an Easter egg hunt in the yard, as chocolate bunnies were maimed and mutilated. They did, however, seem to be delicious.

Spring Break
Grandma Chris decided that the kiddies needed a little vacation fun over spring break. Daddy was stuck working, so Mom, Grandma, Nate and Abby headed out "west" to Watervliet, Michigan, and Surfari Joe's indoor waterpark.
Abby loved the "green slide", as long as the giant bucket of water overhead didn't dump on her. And who knew you could spend so much time filling up a watering can and dumping it into a bucket? Unfortunately, we had to make a 3:00 am trip to the emergency room when she woke up with a high mystery fever. She wasn't quite herself for the rest of the trip, but she did have a lot of fun "apple picking" at the Curious Kids Museum in St. Joseph.
Nate had tons of fun convincing Mom to go down the water slide with him. After the bathing suit incident in Columbus last summer, I was a bit leary of the water slide. He also had fun snapping pictures at the pier in St. Joseph of the lighthouse, boats, bridges and anything else he could find. Someday that kid's going to be a photographer--I just know it.
