Easter was a lot of fun this year. Weather was wonderful, and everyone arrived safely. Caleb and Owen lit up the house . . . at quarter ’til seven each morning, which Jenn says is their routine. On Saturday, we had a video chat with Jeff, Anna-Marie and Sebastian. We wish they could have been here in person, but it was great to see Sebastian, Caleb and Owen greeting and entertaining each other on screen (we’re counting down ’til we’re all together this summer). That evening, after Ma had spent the day preparing food for Sunday, we went to a Hibachi restaurant for dinner. The boys (especially Owen) were a little leery at first, but the chef’s clowning put them at ease. They seem to enjoy their meal, even though it was a little later than usual, and they indicated they’d be willing to go back there. On Easter morning, they were so excited to search for hidden eggs and their baskets. They even sneaked an early peek to make sure the Easter Bunny had visited; we think it was just before wake up, but it could have been earlier. Now the house is quiet, and we’re observing a day of rest and recovery and warm memories.
The first sunny day in the 50’s for a good while, and we took advantage of it — in our small way. We went to the French Coffee Shop for lunch. Then we visited Stein Mart and Mustard Seed, then continued on to Sears, Aurora Farms and Aldi. Do we know how to live, or what!? I guess being out in the sun in light or no coats made it all feel quite invigorating. Now we’re waiting for pizza to come out of the oven — spinach, goat cheese, onion, mushroom, garlic, and walnut on whole wheat crust. It’s beginning to smell pretty good in here. While we wait, Mom’s enjoying some wine and I have a Great Lakes beer (Dortmunder Gold) from Mustard Seed. Hope you’re all having a day as good as ours — full of things YOU enjoy
