Easter

The Easter weekend was full of activities for the kids as well as the adults. We colored eggs, went on a few egg hunts, hung out with awesome neighbors and friends and of course celebrated Jesus!

This time of year is often hard on the kids religiously speaking...Explaining the death of Jesus is very hard for young ones to grasp. As we were driving home from dinner on Good Friday we were discussing the death of Jesus...Bryce went into major meltdown because she did not want Jesus to die and she did not want to die either. There was just no consoling her about it so we quickly tried to change the subject.

Graham, Bryce and Layne loved coloring eggs this year. We just did a dozen eggs since none of the kids eat hard boiled eggs. After coloring the kids started playing with the eggs and 2 of Bryce's did not make it through the fall so the Easter bunny had to only hide 10 eggs.

Graham received his annual buzz haircut on Friday. He looks so different when it is cut this way. I like it long and shaggy but now that it gets hot it is just much easier to take care of. Graham had his 6 yr check up and all checked out well. He weighed 48 lbs (60 %) and 46 inches (75%).


We also had our annual Easter Egg hunt for our cul de sac. The weather was absolutely perfect. We stayed out from 10 am until 6:00 pm. We are definitely going to miss all our neighbors when we move to Singapore.

Bryce also had her check up with her Endocrinologist this week. She is doing great. She weighed 27 lbs 14 ounces and is FINALLY on the charts at the 3rd percentile. Her height was in the 25th percentile at 38.3 inches tall. SO it looks like everything we are doing medically is showing positive results and could not be happier.

Lately, Layne has had an aversion to the camera. Everytime I want to take a picture she looks away or makes a terrible face. So the pictures I do get of her are often candid. I happen to LOVE this one. She looks so peaceful.

Easter morning the kids congregated in my room before discovering their Easter bastes. The bunny often leaves small presents as all the Easter egg hunts they go on leave them with way too much candy.

Of course, I could not get a picture of Layne's face but thought this picture was precious. She is doing her HAPPY dance after she discovered all her goodies in her basket.

Hope everyone has had a peaceful Easter!
