Happy Easter!!!

Ahhhhhh.... what a welcome spring weekend after a LONG, LONG, LONG cold winter!  The past couple of months have been pretty blah waiting for spring to arrive.  We've gotten a bit of housework done inside, but haven't had much excitement beyond that, as you've probably noticed from lack of blog posts.  Simone has been getting more grown up week by week, and resumed her swimming lessons and started piano lessons over the past few months to try to chase away the winter doldrums. We're all anxious to start getting outside more and to begin the gardening and outdoor fun.

We spent Easter weekend at home with visits from Simone's cousins.  Simone spent all week making plans for an "Easter festival" for all the kids, and believe me, she executed on just about all of it.  Friday thru Sunday was non-stop Easter fun--coloring eggs, pottery, playgrounds, hiking, games, a sack race, an egg hunt, sweets -- you name it, we did it.  The kids had a fabulous time.  The grown ups are completely exhausted.  It is all I can do to just lounge on the sofa and post these few pictures.

We brought our basket to church to be blessed on Saturday.

Nothing like looking into the sun for your photo--lol!  Jack and Sam joined all the girls on Saturday for some of the festivities. They've gotten so big!! and  terribly cute.

sack race!!! or shall i say the first of about two dozen of them...

Before you know it the school year will be winding down and we'll be jumping into summer, but for now we'll savor the blossoms and warming temperatures even if it comes with pollen and yard work!
