15 Weeks & Easter

I weighed Erik at 15 weeks-- 13 pounds, 12 ounces!  He is starting to get so big.  We had a busy, fun-filled week!

Check us out:

E's favorite-- bath time!

A trip to Memphis

We went up to Memphis for the weekend because Frank had a godchild, Graham, who was christened Saturday evening. We had a fun time in the city:

First, lunch!

Then, we took a trip the zoo!  (We loved it so much we became members!)

 Happy at the elephants!

He seemed ambivalent about the pandas...

The Christening

Saturday evening, we went to baby Graham's baptism at the Saturday evening celebration of Easter.  I had never been to an Easter Saturday evening service-- it was absolutely beautiful.  Frank went to college with Charles, Graham's dad, and both just had their first child in their 40s- who would have thought?!

Frank was so honored to be "The Godfather" to baby Graham.  The service was absolutely beautiful and Graham was a little angel!  It is so fun to have 2 boys that are the same age- Graham is 7 weeks older than Erik.  Here are some photos of these buddies:

Being somewhat coerced to hold hands!

Easter Sunday

This was Erik's first Easter!  We had a delicious Easter brunch in Memphis Sunday morning, then headed back home.  In Tribbett, we got to see more of our friends!

Finally, I'll leave you with a video of baby E babbling from Easter!  He is really starting to babble and it's so fun to talk to him!  You can hear that we've all been a little sick-- poor E is also all stuffed up.

That is all for now from the Howells!  We hope you had a great Easter holiday.
