Easter has come and gone and I am just now getting to update our blog. I really enjoyed our Easter this year. The day was full of great conversation with friends and family, kids laughing and playing, sun shining, Easter egg hunting, and even an earthquake to shake things up a bit! My heart was happy as I thought about years past. When we first moved into this house I went through such a hard time. New home, Will started a new business, and then we had a new baby...who cried a lot and didn't sleep much, which caused mama to feel pretty hopeless at times. I never knew how I was going to wake up feeling. So, to have this wonderful day with friends and family filled me with peace and joy, and was such a reminder that God is constantly moving and working in our lives for good.
The week prior was laid back.
Celebrating Grandpa's birthday
While out to lunch with Mimi, this huge parrot scared Anika so bad with it's super loud squawk! She continues to talk about the loud "carrot"
So much fun to color eggs! Good thing Anika isn't allergic to the shell of the egg!
Gotta love the neighborhood egg hunt (p.s. this is a good shot of where Caylin cut a chunk out of the back of her hair)
And of course, the Easter basket scavenger hunt...that usually begins at the crack of dawn
Sister love :)
Will has been working hard on the garden again. So far we've harvested lettuce and broccoli. I am so thankful for all of his hard work, fresh veggies are so much better tasting and it's fun for the kids. I don't know what is more fun for them, all the bugs and playing in the dirt, or eating the food they've helped grow? For Aiana, the eating part is definitely more fun! :)
