Happy Easter!

We had such a fun Easter this year. The kid had a great time coloring eggs - even Erik liked helping me dip some eggs. Easter morning came a little too early. The kids got up early to see what the Easter Bunny put in their baskets. They loved hunting for eggs, too. Erik especially had fun - he was attempting to open each egg as he was hunting. It was quite funny to watch. I must say, that I did have the 3 most adorable, beautiful children dressed in their Easter best at church. We topped off the day with a delicioud meal - hma loaf, potatoes and more!! What a wonderful day.

Houston Trip

We just returned from our trip to Houston, which was an incredibly fun, interesting, engaging, and tiring week. We had the awesome opportunity to visit our good friends Travis and Mandy Lyon and their 4 beautiful kids. It has been years since we've been together, but, it felt as if no time had passed once we met up again. Best of all, Brad and I were happily surprised to see that our kids got along immediately. they became fast friends. I am already working on matching Erik with little Taylor. Too bad arranged marriages don't happen here anymore :) We had so much fun going to so many intersting places around Houston - The Dr. Pepper Museum, the Children's Museum of Houston, George Historic Ranch, The Bluebell Icecream factory, and of course the Alamo. So many memories... we are grateful to have such good friends and thank them for taking so much time from their lives to be with us.

Pay it Forward

So, here's how it works: the first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive, at some point during the year a handmade gift from me. What it will be and when it will arrive is a total surprise! The catch is that you must participate as well. Before you leave your comment, write up a pay it forward post on your blog to keep the fun going (or copy and paste like I did). Then come back, let me know you're going to play and sit back and anticipate the arrival of your gift! Come and play!!
