Before Easter....

Our Easter weekend was full of great fun and lots of friends and family. Thursday night Carlisle's had an egg dying party. Thank goodness for art teacher friends.....she had all kinds of fun ways for the kids to color their eggs. They will never be happy with the boring old way again :)

Most of our kids have spring Birthdays, so Jen made them all a cake. We relit the candles and sang several times. 

Unfortunately I was a little late for the party because I was hanging out at the vet with Reagan. She blew out her knee. She was a in a lot of pain and really struggling to get around. With the help of lots of pain medicine and some rest, she seems to be feeling better. She'll have some further tests and then we'll have some decisions to make about fixing. She's no spring chicken but hopefully they determine shes strong enough for whatever repairs she needs.

Friday, the girls and I headed for Omaha, so we could spend the day with Hailie and Connor before they had to go home. The plan was to go to the Children's Museum, but we heard it was a packed house so we came up with plan B....Valentino's and bowling! It was perfect, the kids had lots of time to play and interact and they really enjoyed bowling.

I'll always be grateful for the time we get to spend with all the precious people in our lives. My girls are so blessed to be so loved and to have so many special relationships.
