Welcome to...
THE BUSY & INTERESTING LIFE OF THE SARIS FAMILY
Happy Easter!
Well, after a 
rough night of little sleep for mommy and daddy (and Lexi) we managed to still have some fun at grandma Chris and Pa-Pa's for Easter dinner on Sunday. Allow me to explain... Lexi was sitting up in her bed at 3:30 am crying. Daddy got her and 
brought her into our room for awhile, but with each return trip to her bed she cried again. This means that she spent the rest of the night in bed with mommy and daddy and therefore none of us got much sleep. When we finally decided to give up and went downstairs arou
nd 7:30, Lexi saw what all the Easter Bunny brought her and then got to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse while mommy and daddy caught a few extra zzz's on the couch. Let me just say, the Bunny was VERY good to Lexi this year;
he brought books, videos, M&M's, chapstick (which Lexi LOVES) and even a 
talking Dora Backpack! We decided to pack up and take a few new items to Pa-Pa's for the day. As the day progressed, Lexi proceeded to get more and more stuffy, her nose 
was runny and she was starting to cough. Ah-Ha! The reason for the sleepless night - she was getting a cold! We gave her some meds and did enjoy the rest of the day with uncle Andrew, aunt Julie and uncle Ben. Lexi and Pa-Pa even went outside and flew her new Elmo kite, rode on her tricycle with her new Dora helmet and knee pads, and played with her new Micke
y Mouse characters she got from grandma and Pa-Pa for Easter (along with a Minnie Mouse raincoat and boots). We got home around 7:30 and it was P.J. time! Lexi watched one of her new Backyardagains videos and then it was off to sleep... hopefully we won't be aroused by crying at 3:30 again with a sick chil
d!

fun and busy day!!!
I was going to guess that Lexi wasn't sleeping because she was sooo excited for the Easter Bunny...Darn it! I hate it when the kids are sick. Think of this as good prep for some of the sleepless nights that you have ahead of you:)
UGH...sleepless night...only more to come your way (hopefully you have better luck with the 2nd then I did)! You look GREAT=) I can't believe how big Lexi looks in the pic sitting on the fireplace. Let us know how soon your feeling up for our visit!!
