Beach hunt

Just in time for Easter (though a bit cold) - we bundled up in 5 minutes flat today to head over to our local beach for their annual Easter Egg hunt! And with 20 little ones in attendance it was an intimate and fun time by all!



Remembering last week's hunt, Chloe May had no problem finding and picking up eggs (though she stopped for a "break" mid-way for some swing time).

The silly hat parade was indeed .....silly :-)

In the end the kids enjoyed their treasures found in the egg, some munchkins and juice boxes - - really I think the allure with our family and juice boxes is putting the straw in the box, those first two or three sips and then...eh they pretty much walk away (well Chloe May of course has the juice running down her from squeezing the box - not yet having mastered the "wings").

And on our kitchen front news: we were delivered a blow today when our contractor informed us he would not be able to undertake the job as his schedule was too full and we would like to have the kitchen completed by early August. This was quite a blow and really deflated our day - - so we accomplished nothing. However every time I got blue I reminded myself that we have two healthy children and our health... and I reminded myself of that quite often because just that alone kept us ahead of the game and that is what is important.

And thank you to all who inquired: Matteo is indeed walking and running normal again - - I chalk it up to either a virus in his thigh or just having sprained/strained his leg.  Again this is what is important - - how it broke my heart to see his otherwise normal and healthy child walking not normal.  Thank you God.
