Easter Fun with our Playgroup Friends!

One of the best parts about my mom staying with us the past couple of weeks is the fact that she's been able to stay home with Hadley {which she loves!}, and Derek & I have been able to get quality time with Shelby. When we worried about bringing home a new baby, we weren't really worried about the newborn...we were worried about how Shelby would handle it all & we were worried about her getting stir-crazy since we needed to keep Hadley at home for the first couple weeks of her life. So we've been so thankful that my mom being here has enabled us to really keep life as normal as possible for Shelby, and she has gotten the attention & love that she needs from us.

This past week, Derek & my mom stayed home with Hadley{and cleaned the entire house while I was gone! How lucky am I?!} while Shelby & I went to a little Easter Party with our playgroup friends. We decorated eggs, played, and had an egg hunt..it was so fun! I think Shelby & I were both just happy to be out of the house & spending time with our friends. :)  It did us both some good!

All of the kids getting ready to take off to hunt for eggs! If you'll notice, Shelby is standing
by herself in this picture. :(  I am still feeling guilty about this! The hospital called with Hadley's
updated bilirubin results just a minute or two before the egg hunt started, so I had to sneak
away to a quiet spot to hear what the nurse had to say leaving Shelby on her own. Even
though she got off to a slow start, she still managed to score a few good eggs! :)
