Easter Fun!





Easter was so much fun this year. I think the boys had a total of 5 egg hunts plus Connor had one at school. We had the community egg hunt on Saturday and that was a lot of fun! Then we had a nice Easter dinner at Mary and Steve's house. Then Sunday morning the Easter bunny had come to our house and the kids had new baskets and more eggs to hunt. They had it down to a science. Even Anna got into it on Sunday morning at home. She was the first one up and I made the mistake of putting her on the floor in the living room, where the Easter bunny had left some eggs, and she opened an egg an the next thing I saw was her drooling pink! I had to fish two robin eggs out of her mouth! We ended Sunday with a fun gathering at my parents' house. The kids had about 20 eggs each scattered all over the backyard. Tony was mad that he could not hunt with the kids. It was a fun holiday. It is so great to live so close to all of our family! Happy Easter!

Is Spring Coming??




I was beginning to wonder if Spring was going to come this year. You know it has been a tough winter when you say, "Hey, it is going to be middle to upper 30s today, you guys should play outside". Since when is 30 degrees nice? Well, it is better than a wind chill of -16 like earlier this week. What happened to this global warming thing? Anyway, we have two sick kids. Anna has ear infections in both ears and strep throat. Luke has the crud! He was up a couple of times last night. We left the kids home this morning and went to Claire's baptism. We called home after the service to check on Luke and he was still sleeping at 11:40! I think he is feeling a little better. Connor and Luke wanted to ride bikes outside today. Letting Luke go probably won't get us parents of the year since he is sick...but I think we were out of the race of parents of the year at about noon on January 1st! So, here are some pictures of the kids. Have a nice week!
