...and counting

This semester began (officially) my countdown to moving day. We have been in this city for almost three years with three to go.

It's not a bad place by any means, but its definitely not home.

This being Easter weekend we had a lot of plans for the holiday.

It has seemed that since our children have gotten older, and as we are seperated so far by miles from our families, Easter has become the most fun holiday for us to celebrate together.

This morning we went to the city wide egg hunt, which was a blast for my littlest one who finally "gets" the egg hunting thing. He wore a huge smile the whole time and even managed to get six eggs in the crowd of little ones all going in different directions.

They also had a huge Spongebob bouncy thing (thats our family name for it, lol) that had to be tried by all.

We colored our eggs, Daddy even glittered one of his own with our kit, and went to a nice park to hunt again.

With our crazy schedules, we hardly ever get out as a family so it was nice to have one day with nothing to do but have a good time. It's important to have some time away from the computer and deadlines and just be together. These are the times that create memories and bring back that sense of family that seems to be lost in the hussle of a busy week.

So, here we are at the end of our day, tomorrow is Easter, one down, two more to go before we are cleaning out and rounding up to move on to another adventure.
