Here are Gavin and Samosa playing together

Gavin gets close enough to make sure we get a good picture of him

 More hugging!

We had a nice Easter afternoon at the McClenahans house with Grandpa McClenahan’s sister, Judi Sabella.  Lilah enjoyed hunting eggs, while Gavin wanted to climb the tree and play ball and explore.  They both enjoyed treats found inside the eggs though.  

Lilah is begging Grandpa for more sweets, I think.

Lilah likes finding and opening eggs.

Gavin and Meara hang out.

When it got too dark outside, we moved inside and got out the playdough, which Gavin adores and Lilah thinks it must be pretty fun if Gavin is always wanting to play with it.

Playdough is more fun with a Grandma…

The next evening we came over for more fun and we tried blowing really big bubbles in the backyard.  Gavin got a few to go up into the sky like balloons disappearing.

Silly girl!

Gavin has been sick lately…two colds in a row!  It’s gotten so bad that his upperlip and mouth are cracking, red, raw and obviously hurting.  If he let me put chapstick on him, it wouldn’t get so bad, but he absolutely refuses and wipes it off if I do.  Finally, the last few days I figured out how to get past this.  The only way I can put chapstick on Gavin is by kissing him!  So, I load up with chapstick and then kiss it onto him and he is fine with this and doesn’t wipe it off.  I’m amused and very relieved that I can help his poor skin now.
