First I have to show off my babies once more. 
These were their separate Easter pictures, taken two days after Easter. The one of Alexis is pretty, and I love the one of Branwen.
In other news, I have reached true mother-of-multiplehood. Last week, Joel and I went to a Honda dealership, and we bought ourselves a minivan. We traded in my much-loved ‘98 Nissan Pathfinder and got a 2001 Honda Odyssey.
Now I must say, if you gotta have a minivan, this is certainly a nice one. It’s an LX (we couldn’t manage the EX since it runs several thou more in general), so it doesn’t have quite as much equipment, but most of that I won’t miss. I would have liked the power sliding doors, but… oh well. It does have keyless entry, which is nice. I had gotten used to that with my Pathfinder, and it certainly comes in handy, especially in the rain when carrying children and assorted other goods. Of course, the minivan has a feature the Pathfinder didn’t where the keyless entry is concerned. It has a nice security feature that relocks the doors 30 seconds after you unlock them if they haven’t yet been opened. So I unlock the doors from my front door, struggle to get both children and whatever else I’m carrying to the van, reach for the handle and… click. *sigh* Well, I’ll figure out the timing eventually, I guess.
A couple of quick baby notes… We went to a farm yesterday and Alexis had a blast. The thing she seemed to enjoy most was running up and down a wooden ramp with her friend, Emma. 
Branwen yesterday morning, after pulling up on me, decided she wanted to get my friend’s dog and started walking towards her while holding my hands. I can’t believe she’s doing this at 7 1/2 months old! I need to babyproof more…
I just heard Joel come out of the shower, and I should be getting to bed. We’re dedicating Branwen in church tomorrow, so it would be good if we all look at least moderately rested.
