Baby Quilt

A couple of weeks ago I finished my first ever quilt. It was a project that started out as just a learning experience. I was surprised that it actually ended up being really fun. My friend gave me the fabric for the top, and my mom helped me quilt it and do the binding. Ellie likes rubbing the fabric together. While she was doing it, I got some fun pictures of her. She was so happy. Isn't she pretty?

She slept through the party...

There was another Easter egg hunt up at Grandpa and Grandma's house. It was sure fun. Too bad Ellie slept through it. Maybe I should have woken her up when it was time to go outside, but she only takes one nap a day. I just couldn't sacrifice it. Anyway, here she is finding her basket nicely filled when she woke up.

These little plastic eggs are such fun toys. Ellie has been playing with them all week.

So Sick

Two weekends ago Ellie and I got pretty sick. We got the stomach flu. I have never seen my little girl so weak. It was super sad. She threw up everything for a full 24 hours and just couldn't even move with exhaustion. She fell asleep on the floor with all of us around her. Fortunately she has recovered just fine and is back to getting into everything. Who knew I would be grateful for that? :)
I am so glad that John didn't get sick, but he still had to do school work so my mom came down and took care of us. I feel really bad though that she ended up getting sick with the same thing later that week.
