A Few Good Quotes

"There is something so settled and stodgy about turning a great romance into next of kin on an emergency room form, and something so soothing and special, too." ~ Anna Quindlen

"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow.'" ~Mary Anne Radmacher

Easter

We had a lovely Easter. We went to our church in the morning and then headed over to my parents' house in Brea. Easter is always a great time because we have a fun crowd of friends and family and a huge Easter egg hunt, as was previously mentioned in this post.

An egg hunt of this size definitely takes some coordination. So after a delicious lunch and a nap for the babies, the kids are all sent to front yard (with an adult or two to supervise) to draw with chalk and play around while the dads and older cousins/kids hide the eggs.

Then everyone four years old and younger is sent to the backyard to collect their baskets, which Grandma has labeled and set out on a table. Those kids get about 5 minutes to look around before the older kids come and find the more strategically placed eggs. 
Here's Jonah and Isaiah, each with their basket. Jonah had such a great time this year looking for eggs. He definitely understood the point of the hunt! 




















Here's a shot of all the "littles" as they get read to begin their hunt.


And thankfully, we were able to snag a decent shot of the five of us, which is a good thing because I think the only other photo of all of us is a hospital one, where someone (I won't say who) looks very puffy and swollen.

I hope you and your family had a great Easter!
