Easter Update

I am a little behind in the family blogging entries - you've probably already seen the Catlin/Bracken/Casey/Perry pictures on Jane and Heidi's blogs, but I have to add my two cents worth, you know! We had a great day at Ted and Pat's after a wonderful morning at church. Spending time with family is the best way to celebrate, and we are thankful to have so many close by. We do miss Christie and Alison, Tom, Kim ,Katie and Griffin - but just think of it this way - we have a great excuse to go on another vacation!Here's Matthew, Phebe, and Maddox getting ready to hunt for their own special colored eggs out in the back yard. I think we had just as much fun following them around and snapping the pictures!

Maddox has quite a collection there.
Phebe and I had fun playing ball after the hunt was over. She is going to be quite the athlete - she hit it over my head and made me run! Nothing like a little exercise to wear off those jelly beans!
Matthew prefers to push the 4 wheeler this spring. Maybe by fall he will let the engine do the work.
It was a nice day out on the deck, but the guys soon moved into the basement to watch the Masters. OK, OK ... a few of us gals were interested, too.
I know you're wondering - who is watching the kids???
The little kids had a ball with Summer - Pat's sister Pam's granddaughter. It is great to have extended family, the more the merrier! The kids make every gathering a entertaining event. They are a joy to watch grow and develop their own special personalities.

Well, that's all for now, folks. We stay busy with church activities - yesterday we organized a youth group outing - bowling (Paul took top honors with a 147), pizza at Joey Nova's, and then spent two hours at the Feed My Starving Children organization in Chanhassen packing a food product specially designed for kids dying of malnutrition. We packed 7,344 meals that will save the lives of 20 children! If you ever get a chance to participate in a day there, you will be blessed! Golf season is upon us, only one month of school left, and then ...?
