Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to all our family and friends!

With traveling at the beginning of April, Easter came really fast this year. So fast, that I forgot to take the kids to the mall to get their picture taken with the Easter Bunny. In light of that, the above picture will have to do. Also, expect Easter cards to arrive late. Sorry about that, but we have had a lot going on.

First of all, we have made the decision that we are going to do whatever it takes to move back East. We are committed to this goal. Therefore, we will be putting our house up for sale. Brad has put in for two jobs (one in Virginia, one in Philadelphia). We have not heard back for either one as of yet, but will be trying to sell the house so that when the time comes, we won't be tied down. Please pray for us during this time. Pray for a smooth transition for the boys.

Easter Egg Hunt

The church that we regularly attend hosts an Easter Egg Hunt. This is the fourth year that they have done it. It takes place at the park in our development. Benny was really excited and we had perfect weather. Once the whistle sounded, he was off and running.


This was Timmy's first Easter Egg Hunt and he didn't know what to make of it. He does not like sitting in the grass.

Here is Benny showing Timmy all the eggs he found.

Once his basket was full, he came up to me telling me he was done. His basket was getting to heavy and he didn't want anymore eggs. He still got a lot of chocolate from those eggs.

Train Ride!

We went to French Lick, Indiana to ride a train. Besides tractors, both Grandpa and Benny love to ride trains. Here they are watching the scenery.

Nothing like have a popcorn snack on the train. The ride was a couple of hours long.

Here is Benny showing off his ticket.

Tractors!

One of the first things Benny wanted to do at Grandpa's house was ride on Grandpa's tractors. Grandpa has restored two tractors and likes to give rides to his grandsons.

Grandpa got Benny his own tractor. Benny found out that he was finally tall enough to reach the pedals. He had fun riding it in Grandpa's garage.


As long as the weather was nice, Grandpa and Benny (and sometimes Timmy) were out riding on the tractors.

Grandma's Birthday!

At the beginning of April we traveled to Illinois to help Grandma Anderson celebrate her 70th birthday. We had an open house at the church. A lot of people came. The boys had fun. Timmy loved the balloons. Here is Grandma with her cake.
A better view of the cake. Each rose represented the birthstone of each of Grandma's four daughters, her two sons-in-law, and her two grandsons.
