Easter


The Easter bunny was clever at our house today. He hid the eggs in the loft to avoid the prying eyes of the older kids before Mom and Dad woke up. Very smart! Grace found the first egg by whacking one of balloons that the kids decorated the stairs with. It fell down right at Will's feet as he was carrying her up the stairs. The rattle of the candy inside kept her occupied during the rest of the egg hunt. The big kids did a good job of leaving the eggs in the more obvious spots for Justin, and Kayla found the last egg. It was hding in the drawer of the computer desk. Tricky Easter Bunny!

We decided to try out a new use for our mesob. In Ethiopia, they use them to serve meals in. We thought it would be much more effective as as Easter basket. Grace seems to agree!

Wow, looks like Easter was a lot of fun at your house. I am so glad Grace got have her first fun holiday in the United States.
She really is just beautiful. I wish I could hold her and squeeze her. I do love little babies.
Looks like the big kids are welcoming her with open arms. What a great help they will be to you and her. How does she like the pool? Have you introduced her to it yet? I bet she will love it.

Take care

Kayla, Tyler, Daniel and Justin are doing an outstanding job with their new baby sister. They are all so generous with their help, and very loving toward her. We couldn't ask for more!

We all hung out in the jacuzzi on Easter afternoon. Grace loved it. I think she thought it was a big bathtub. Ü The pool was only 66 degrees, so we decided to wait on that.
