More Cherry Blossoms

We took more pictures of the cherry blossoms after Mass on Sunday. It was cloudy and a little cold, but the forecasted rain could wash most of the blossoms off the trees this week. Plus, we don't know when Baby Lottie will make her appearance!

This was the only decent picture Chris could get of Adam with Mommy.

This was what Adam did the rest of his photo shoot with Mommy.

Captain Crazy Eyes.

Sticks are exciting! Later Sunday afternoon, we took Adam to see the first movie that wasn't half during his nap time (he saw two half-movies last summer). He enjoyed "Horton Hears a Who." I'm not sure that the rest of the audience enjoyed his running commentary. "Elephant, elephant, elephant funny, bird, tweet, tweet."

Cherry Blossoms

The cherry blossoms are just starting to bloom. Here's a shot of one of the cherry trees down the road from us. Hopefully, we should be able to enjoy the blooms for another couple of weeks!

Spring at the park

The weather is starting to get nice again. Time to hit Sagamihara Park. We enjoyed all the beautiful flowers and the tulip and cherry trees that are starting to blossom. The boys enjoyed the playground and the zoo.

Jesse made a new friend. They are playing with the "sand" toys. Apparently, they don't do sandboxes in Japan, so the boys made do with dirt.

We decided to see if Adam was STILL scared of the big animals at the zoo. The answer, a resounding yes, but only for the incredibly scary pigs (and only when they oink)!

To see the last time Adam saw those scary pigs, see here: http://ccallicott.blogspot.com/2007/10/zoo.html

More Easter fun

Adam and Daddy headed out to the park while Mommy recovered from making Easter brunch for the family and some guests (Chris's boss). Adam had a great Daddy-only time at the playground, and got filthy!

Look at that hand!

Easter

Adam finds his first Easter egg of the morning.

Adam inspects his Easter basket. He got candy, some apple chips, a soccer ball, and Robin Hood on DVD.

Easter Eggs

Adam went to dye eggs with his baby friends on Saturday. This was as close to the eggs as he ever got.

Playing on the baby slide next door was much more fun than dyeing eggs.

Later, we went to a post-wide Easter egg hunt. Daddy helped Adam collect eggs.

Here's a picture of Jesse with the Easter bunny, because Adam would never get that close to him. He started crying and shaking every time the bunny got anywhere near him. Although, after the egg hunt, all he would talk about was the Easter bunny and all the goodies the bunny gave him.
