Christian was "adopted" this Easter for his Easter egg hunt by a teenage girl, (see top pic above). She helped him find all his eggs and even weeded out the potential choking hazards and gave them to mom. We forgot to get her number for possible babysitting.

Christian is starting to communicate with us really well. Today at University Village we were headed back to the car (after browsing kids books) and before we got to the car he said "wee wee". I looked at him confused and again he said "wee wee!" Then I realized that U Village has a slide that he likes to play on. He not only knew where we were, but knew how to ask to go to play on the slide. How could I say no?

Weird thing that you don't really need to know: I somehow came down with hand, foot and mouth disease. It's a rare illness that mostly affects kids. It goes away after about a week but you get a fever, sore throat, and painful blotches on your hands and feet. We think Christian might have had it and given it to me but we're not sure. Just in case I'm being extra careful not to kiss him or share food, which is hard because I usually snack on a little of what he has to eat.

February was a bittersweet month for us. Immediately following President's Day, Laura, Christian and I took a pre-planned trip to Tulsa to see my folks. Unfortunately, Dad was ill and was in the hospital for part of the stay. He recovered a little bit later in the week and was able to spend some time with us at home, but was bedridden most of the time. However, undaunted, Christian would run back in to Dad's bedroom where he was sitting on the edge of the bed, laugh and smile at Dad, and then coyly run back out. A couple times he ventured in further to exchange high five's or to show off his toy. Dad talked about this exchange for several days after we left.

Sadly, on February 28th, just a few days after we left, Dad passed away. He led a great life and was loved by many but it's still sad to lose him. The happy twinkle in his eyes lives on in all our hearts who remember him. We will miss you Dad!
