Fortunately, I managed to get a couple decent ones where he was at least facing the camera.
A vast improvement over last year! Next year, a professional photographer may be in the cards.
We also made a little Saturday trek out to Sweet Berry Farms in Marble Falls to pick strawberries in mid-April. More berries probably wound up in his belly (or chucked out in the field somewhere - the boy will throw anything) than in his basket, but we had a great time. We picked enough to enjoy bowls of fresh strawberries with cream almost every night for a week, along with a grilled chicken and strawberry salad, strawberry shortcake, and strawberries in our cereal daily. And we have a big bag of washed and hulled strawberries hanging out in the freezer for some other strawberry treat whenever the mood strikes.

Not so sure about that goat...
Nope, still not interested...

And, a few final pictures from Easter. Nicholas participated in an egg hunt at school and loved it. However, on Easter (after refusing to nap), he was exhausted and could not have been less interested in our little backyard egg hunt. (The lack of excitement and competition from other kids probably didn't help either.) We had to continually prompt him to go find the next egg, basically showing him where each one was "hidden." Some of the eggs contained a couple jelly beans and some contained stickers. He halfheartedly ate the jelly beans out of a few eggs, and then just dropped the stickers on the ground.
Ready to hunt eggs at school!

Eh, stickers
Oh well. He liked his Easter basket, and there's always next year for a more energetic egg hunt.
Happy spring!
