Happy Easter

Happy Easter everyone. Steve, we miss you greatly. Easter morning just wasn't the same.

Gatherine eggs. Click on triangle to view. Yesterday was sunny and clear. What a difference a day makes. The Easter Bunny left the eggs during the night and by morning, they were all covered in snow. Only vague colored bumps were peeking through. The kids probably didn't get them all. They'll pop up as the snow melts.
Counting their bounty.

Easter Eve

Went to visit the Easter Bunny and dyed some eggs.

Steve is doing well, classes are good except for International Economics. Lauren went to Green Bay, Wisconsin for the weekend with her friend Zoe. They went to the Tundra, an indoor waterpark. On Saturday, Jon and I went to Applebees for lunch, went to the movie, College Roadtrip, and did some shopping. On Sunday, I took Jon and a friend to a video gaming store where they played all sorts of video games and had fun. I also managed to get the laundry done and clean the kid's rooms out.
