Easter

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! My dad was here for the weekend. The boys love making him do all kinds of things. But Glenn was not able to make him play Wii. :)

Alexander was sick all weekend. He started with a high temperature Saturday, but not quite a fever. So, our friends who had us over for dinner said to bring him anyway. Well, it turned into a fever while we were there. He had fun, anyway. I just hope he didn't get them sick. Bob stayed home with Alexander Sunday morning while Glenn, my dad and I went to church. So, no family picture of us wearing our Easter best this year. Here's Alexander just before I left for church:

 

I made us Easter dinner: smoked turkey, twice baked sweet potatoes complete with marshmallows on top, and candied carrots followed by chocolate caramel pecan pie. Alexander wanted to just sit in the pool, so he did that while watching Glenn and my dad swim. Then we did an Easter egg hunt. Yes, the boys are wearing boots (Alexander's don't even fit him, they're huge):

 

 

 

 

 

Bob brought Cubby into Alexander's room last night when I was putting him to bed. Cubby cuddle right up with him. Alexander was afraid to move because he was afraid Cubby would leave. But then he left Alexander's room when we got up to leave.

 

Today, Glenn went back to school, Bob back to work, and I stayed home with Alexander. His fever is at it's highest right now (103), poor little guy. He's resisting a nap, but hopefully I can get him to take one.

Our New Addition

So, we went to a nearby flea market to get some local fruits and veggies. They had some puppies there being sold by breeders. We looked at all of them and exclaimed how cute they were when Bob said that there were two little long-haired chihuahuas. He got all puppy-eyed and asked if we should take one out. There was a cute little teacup chihuahua, that the breeder said would get no more than 4 pounds. He was 1 lb, 10 oz as of last week and is 12 weeks old. Well, as you can tell, we got him. He is so adorable. The breeder said he's a big cuddler. His coloring is called grizzly because of the black down his back. So, I was thinking of calling him Bear. Then we were talking about a show the boys like, Jake and the Neverland Pirates on Disney. One of the boys is called Cubby. So, everyone liked that. He's our little bear cub!

London and Cubby got along right away. When we introduced them, both their tails were wagging like crazy. London followed him around a lot, but then got tired and is now sleeping at my feet. Cubby is having fun exploring the house. I hope he lets me sleep tonight. Here are a couple pictures:

 

A lot of pictures of Alexander
