Happy Easter!






We had a wonderful Easter. Aunt La-La came for a visit. Laurie arrived Friday night and I made spaghetti and meatballs. Not bad. We were all pretty tired so we went to bed early. Laurie and Brian were going to go work out Saturday morning at the gym. Obviously, when you're at my house, we discourage exercise. Laurie never made it to the gym. Saturday night we dyed Easter eggs and watched Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Courtesy of Aunt Laurie. The Easter Bunny came on Sunday morning. He brought Celia Grace a Hannah Montana Doll, Littlest Pet Shop toy, bubbles, bracelets and lots of chocolate! We raced to church where we had to take Celia Grace AND Olivia into the service. Olivia thankfully fell asleep and Celia Grace did pretty good. She made it all the way through until the last 5 minutes. Not bad. We came home and ate Easter lunch. Aunt Tenie came for a visit and brought us beautiful ceramic eggs. Beautiful day. We are truly blessed. God is so good.

"To Blog or not to Blog, that is the question." This is my first blog. To be honest I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to this stuff. What the heck is a blog anyway?? The first blog I ever read was Renee Guest's. And now she's been peer pressuring me into doing one myself. I have no idea what I'm doing. So, here goes nothin'.....My name is Emily Brocato. I married a boy named Brian. So, now I'm Emily Hopkins. We are approaching the 7 year itch. I can't believe it. 7 years and never had a fight. HA! We have a little girl named Celia Grace. She will be 4 next month. We also have a new baby girl named Olivia. She will be 15 weeks this Friday. Our little family seems to be growing fast.Maybe the next entry will be better. Give me a break, I'm learning here.
