Easter Lily

Easter was a beautiful day for us. Our church service was very meaningful, though I must confess that I was not fully there mentally because Lily spent her second Sunday in the nursery! Let me back up. She did GREAT the first week. Her parents, however, did not do so well. I knew we needed to continue dropping her off to get her (and us) used to the nursery, plus, her joyful exclamations and "singing" during the service were becoming distracting to Jeremy and I. Anyways, on this meaningful Resurrection day, I dropped her off again, and she was fine when I left. I was a wreck. I vaguely remember telling the nursery workers such details as, "she can sit up, but once in a blue moon falls over" and "she has a bib in her diaper bag" (why would she need a bib??). Jeremy had to quiet my bouncing legs and wringing hands several times during communion. Finally, I couldnt take it anymore, and opted to spend my "passing of the peace" time by checking on her, who undoubtedly was frieking out without me.

I went down and poked my head in the nursery and saw a face similar to this one. She was just bouncing up and down in an exersaucer, and apparently hadnt even noticed that her precious mama was missing. Lesson learned. I did hear the rest of the service. it was simply beautiful.

I had the prettiest Easter dress picked our for her to wear, but the weather did not cooperate. (YES, I AM playing the dress-up Easter game.) She still looked especially cute in this outfit from Aunt Haley.
After church we headed on down to Greenville for Easter afternoon with the Lawhons and Meemaw & Peepaw. Here Lily is digging into her Easter basket from Mimi and Papaw! It was full of fun treats!
