Easter

eaw's easter eggs were full of dinosaurs and animals from the African plains - he is very proud of his growing collection, and asked often about whether his uncle ghd and aunt khd had seen some of the animals during their recent trip to Africa that are now in his possession.

There are four boys between the ages of 1-4 on our block. The combined family easter egg hunt was a blast (and was brief:) - it's amazing how quickly four boys can find 50 eggs.

The egg hunt was a success, although eaw was still a little unsure about the bunny - worried that he/she might jump out of the bushes at any given moment. He was hunting for the bunny as much as he was hunting for the eggs. Gotta love that honest skepticism.

Visitors!

eaw and cousin c!

We had an eventful weekend visit from New Jersey aunts, uncle, and cousin! By the end of the weekend, our car was totaled (not our fault), eaw had choked at a restaurant (mom administered the heimlich), and mdw decided the PhD program was not a good choice. Disorienting to say the least, but that's what family is for, right - to get you through the hard stuff. We'd love more visits from family, and we promise to tone down the drama (or as our old roommate jmpII used to say, the conflama - confusion and drama).


Here's some pics of the brighter moments from the visit:
