Easter Treats

Not just this sweet thang...

But our homemade wheat-free/corn-free/milk-free cookies as well!

Aren't they cute?

Nathan's first Easter

He was skeptical at first, especially when the Father pronounced him still pagan

But then he saw the chocolate, and we got his first SMILE!

And he's cooing at us too!
