Easter & Updates

Spring is here and we're all happy about the nice weather!  We've been enjoying the great outdoors much more - hiking, playing outside, going for walks, and enjoying playgrounds... just to name a few!






In indoor news, Daniel is advancing in piano.  He's to the point now where he needed a legitimate piano; the keyboard can't cut it anymore.  He genuinely enjoys playing the piano and his lessons, so I guess we're all in now! The first day we had it, he played for almost 45 minutes exploring the features of the digital piano.  He has his first piano recital (where people can actually come and watch!) coming up next month.



In Leslie indoor news, she lost tooth #5!  She's a pro and so brave.  She wants those teeth outta there!  She also still adores playing chess.  Since someone can't always play chess with her, she had to get creative...


Leslie also wrote a book for your enjoyment, I Love Things.




All things Easter... The day before Easter, Leslie was invited to an Easter egg hunt at her friend, Willie's, house.  It was just Willie, Leslie, and another friend from their kindergarten class, Owen.  She had a lot of fun.  My favorite part though was at the very end when we were getting ready to go back to the car.  They started saying their goodbyes, and Willie walked Leslie to the car... then opened the door, and gave her a hug!  What a little gentleman!  It was absolutely adorable.  When we were driving home, I asked Leslie how that made her feel, and she said, "I felt like a queen!"  



Later on that Saturday, we had Bobby's brother, Jake and his girlfriend, Sara, join us for dinner.  They live in Overland Park, but we haven't managed to see them very often.  Hopefully that will change now with vaccinations and better scheduling since they don't work weekends anymore.  We talked and caught up, played some Mario Kart, ate dinner, and played Camel Up - a fun board game.  It was an awesome time and we can't wait to have them back again soon!



Easter morning started out with the excitement of seeing what the Easter Bunny left:



Then, once we'd eaten enough sugar to get our systems really going, we went on a hike.  The kids enjoyed it because someone from the neighborhood hid eggs on the trails and at the playground.  We saw several, but only kept one egg each so others could enjoy the fun too.  



After we got home from our hike, we dyed Easter eggs.



Later in the day, we went to a park and met up with some friends, Jarod and Alissa, and their son, Decker.  He just turned one a couple of weeks ago, and he sure is cute.  I didn't get any pictures of the little guy... he was pretty attached to his Mommy and Daddy, but by the end of our visit I had him smiling and laughing.  It was cute to hear our kids interact with Decker.  They sure were sweet with him!

We hope everyone had a happy Easter, and that you are all well and healthy!
