We took Dominick to the beach to play in the sand but he did not like it one bit.
He was okay if he was sitting on some one's lap but did not want to sit in the sand or walk in it.
Can we please go? This wind is messing up my hair!
We took Dominick to the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans on Saturday. This is one of the 4 biggest/nicest zoos in the U.S. I was disappointed because Dominick started running a fever right before we left to go to the zoo, plus it ended up being VERY cold. It was as cold as a typical winter day in Louisiana. But despite the circumstances, Dominick really did enjoy it.

This was the Mayan section of the zoo
Dominick had a total of 4 Easter baskets this year from us and his 3 sets of grandparents. This was his basket from Jon's parents.
This is a blanket his grandmother (Hunnie) had made for his dedication but it wasn't finished yet so they gave it to him for Easter. I love it!!!
This basket also had Elmo toys, a children's Bible, Diego pool shoes, a sippy cup, a rubber duck, and books.
This is a Lego wagon from Maw Maw and Paw Paw Rougeau.
I stayed up late boiling eggs, dying them, and painting some of them. We have a tradition that comes from the Cajun French culture called "Pocking" or "Pock-Pock". Each person, both adults and children, pick an egg. One person holds their egg cupped in their hand and the other person gently taps his egg on the top of the other persons egg, top top. Which ever egg cracks first is the loser and the winner goes to the next person and tries again. When we were kids we would go to all our cousins and grandparents houses and "Pock-Pock" with each family. It may sound strange but it is a TRUE Cajun tradition and we loved it as children. 
These are the ones I painted with Puffy Paint.
This is Dominick's basket from us.
He got a Diego doll, eggs with Elmo and Diego characters in them, a Bible, and a Diego book.
This was taken right before we discovered Dominick had a temperature of 103.4. The doctor said he has puss on his tonsils and it is viral so he didn't give him any antibiotics. Poor baby, I've never seen Dominick more miserable than he has been for the last few days. He is also cutting 3 incisor teeth and a huge molar. His mouth is all swollen and looks terrible!

I love his sun glasses....to cute. His bunny glasses cracked me up. It is a shame he did not feel good. I hope he is feeling better now.

Easter day didn't happen exactly as we had it planned but it turned out to be a great day anyhow. To me every day I spend with Dominick is an awesome day. Not only is he a beautiful child but he's so friendly and personable.
Love,

I'm so happy you liked the blanket. We really enjoyed spending the day with you & Jon, Dominick and your family. Even though it was sooo cold! Hope your little angel gets better quickly. I keep him (and ya'll) in my prayers.
Love,
Hunnie
