Happy Easter! We had such a fun weekend with egg decorating, woodsy egg hunts, a family dinner, video chatting with Nana and Pop, and lots of playing with friends. We are so lucky. It's busy times these days with me back at work and Jim starting a new job. Jasper and Reija are so adorable together- he loves her to pieces and is always hugging her, calling her "sweetie pie," bringing her toys, and singing and dancing for her. He hates when she cries and always announces "Mama, sister is crying!" He will then immediately bring her whatever he thinks she might need (his favorite train, one of his blankies etc). So adorable. Reija loves her big brother and watches him intently.

| Lots of laughing and smiles these days- this girl loves her toes. We often have to "free the piggies." |

| Easter Egg hunt with two other families at the Peterson-O'Rourke's house! This was such a beautiful morning. The kids had so much fun running through the woods in their mud boots and finding eggs- what a hoot! |

| Jasper and his buddy Esmae. These two together are just a joy to see. |

| I asked Jasper to give Es a kiss on the cheek and she pulled the oldest trick in the book and turned in for the full smack! (Not that I condone kissing at three, but this is about the cutest thing I've ever seen...) |
