7 Quick Takes (vol. 26): Easter Edition

--- 1 ---

Happy Easter!  I've been meaning to blog about our absolutely lovely trip to Lincoln for Easter.  I figure it's less than an octave after the Easter Octave so I'm not really late... something like that... so here are 7 quick Easter takes!  Alleluia!

We always get thoroughly spoiled in Lincoln.  Michael probably would've been happier if we just left him there to watch movies and read stories with Grandma all day (Grandma probably would've been happier too...)

It was a trip of firsts for Liam: first time in Nebraska, first time meeting his aunt and unlce, first roadtrip... He also got his first taste of solids (banana).  He was not particularly impressed.

Ne' and Ty are waaaay better than bananas

I got to see my beautiful sister (and her wonderful husband) for the first time in almost a year.  One. Year.  That is ridiculous.  We used to play "house" all the time with our bedrooms as our houses (right next door to each other, of course) and our favorite dolls as our kids (three little girls each) and our husbands who had jobs where they were always traveling (because we didn't have any boys to play house with us).  Little did we imagine how differently life would turn out--especially concerning living in different states (soon to be different states halfway across the country)... but Alex and Ty are waaaaaaaaay better than anything we imagined about "Mark" and "Tim."

We stuck pretty close to my parents during our visit, but we had some friends and extended family who were kind enough to come to us.  Visits included an Easter egg hunt with our beautiful little friend Eleanor and lots of playing with trains (of course) with cousins (of varying degrees of removal and/or relation by marriage, depending on how you look at it).

Okay, searching out pictures is taking way too long... at least these will be quicker for you to read than they are for me to write.
