Easter

We had a great Easter this year.  We stayed in town and had Easter at Lauren & Luke's house about 30 minutes away.  All of Michael's family was able to be there for a Saturday celebration.  So we did an egg hunt that Saturday with a big dinner.  Then on Easter Sunday, we met Faith & Jimmy and Lauren and Luke at mass and then went back for lunch.   It was a great Easter and wonderful holiday to celebrate with our boys and family members.

Joseph and Andrew had a great time doing the egg hunt.  It was just the two of them and their cousin Noah.  So, they color coded the eggs so that all 3 got the same amount and could find them easily for their age.  :)   They also got to dye easter eggs that afternoon which was fun.  The Easter bunny brought them lots of treats in their baskets which they were so happy about.  And Mommy was happy to help eat that candy since she gave it up for Lent!  ;)          

Thank you Jesus for your graces and saving love!

Baskets ready and the boys are anxious!

Their baskets even coordinated with what color eggs they were to collect!  Andrew caught on very fast!

Joseph was so excited for the egg hunt

March Pics

The month of March meant a lot of time just at home for us and figuring out things as a new family of 5!  So I went through my pictures to remember what all we did that month and thought I would just do a photo post.

One weekend my parents came down for a visit and mom got to make up for all those snuggles she missed out on when we were in the hospital with Matthew when he was sick during her week her to help out.
