Tooth no. 5 has snuck up on us, and no. 6 is only a day or two away (both are top teeth). The last 2 nights Daniel has only woken at 3.30am, so I'm pretty sure some people have been praying. I've enjoyed the uninterrupted sleep!
Daniel's favourite game at present is to put toys in my mouth.

Easter Tuesday
It's so easy to forget about Easter after Sunday. But what happened on Easter Tuesday? Did Jesus appear to some disciples that day? Was it Tuesday as recorded by Luke that he walked and talked with some men on the Emmaus road?
Daniel and I enjoyed the outdoors today, and so were a lot of others walking past us on our picnic blanket out on the grass behind our place. What if one of these people was the resurrected Jesus? What would it be like to chat with someone and get the feeling that they know and understand you really well? How 'alive' do we think Jesus really is?

Love those eyes!
Daniel turns 9 months this week. He is 9kg/19 lb 14oz, and 70.75cm long.

Easter Weekend
We had a lovely, relaxing weekend. Nathan didn't get much work done, but hopefully that just means he is refreshed before the extra week of studying/paper writing as he comes to the end of Winter Semester.
On Thursday night we had a Passover Seder meal at our place, which was so much fun. Our friends Amber and Frank popped over to say hi, and they stayed for the meal. I roasted a 3kg leg of lamb, and thankfully that turned out great.
On Good Friday we went to a local church for a combined service. We went last year too, and I love it because it's passages of scripture readings which tell of the Easter story, with specially chosen songs that we sing at points during the story. For me, it helps makes it more real, and lets me mull over it without having to concentrate on a sermon. Daniel was in the nursery, so it was nice to have that time to think with little distraction. Nathan spent some time in the garden that he is working on, and we went for a walk to our friends on the other side of campus for a snack and a chat. We finished off the night with a dvd.
On Easter Sunday, our church had 4 baptisms down at Wreck beach, and a pancake fundraiser for the teen's Mexico mission in the summer. I can't remember exactly what we did that day, but I feel like we've had a good amount of family time, which is great. I'm looking forward to Nathan's assignments/exams being finished! And next Saturday night we are having a babysitter (once Daniel is asleep) so that we can go out for coffee for our anniversary.

lovely lazy day
Well, its 1pm and I'm about to have a nap. We did make it out of pajamas, but the front door is still bolted, the kitchen has stack of dirty dishes. We've watched a dvd, and played with Daniel (blowing bubbles), and have no real plans apart from returning the dvd to the library. It is overcast outside (it was raining earlier), so not to appealing, but it's relaxing to have no plans at all for the day!
PS, Daniel now has tooth #3 (his top left).

Something New
Latest News:
I (Mareesa) have decided to become a consultant for Usborne books, which is very exciting. I'll be doing some homeshows, showing off Usborne's fantastic books and making some commission to help out our family budget. Daniel got quite a few Usborne books for his baby shower, and he loves them, especially the touchy-feely books. He's actually quite a good mascot =) If you've never heard of Usborne books, you can check them out here, or talk to me about them!
