Easter

Mark's parents came to visit us for Easter. It was a nice weekend but the weather was (once again) not very nice so we mostly stayed home. On Easter Sunday we went to a garden center to wander around and 'have an outing'. A garden center (plant store) can actually be considered an outing believe it or not. If you go to a nice big one they usually have a big selection of plants (and all the plant stuff, pots, etc.) garden furniture, gift shop, tea shop (for a drink and a cake), birdbaths, etc... The best thing about the visit was that little Emily realized that she could walk everywhere!!! All she wanted to do was walk, walk, walk. She didn't stop to touch anything or look at anything, she just wanted to GO!

When we came home we hid (sorta just placed them around- the one year old kind of hiding) some plastic eggs for Emily to find. She had a ball. Everytime she saw a new egg she made a "oooh" sound. It was so cute.

You might notice that my sweet Meggie isn't in any of the pictures. That is because she is visiting her dad in the states right now and we really, really miss her. I am not a complete mommy when she is away. But I talk to her lots and we chat on gmail all the time. She is having a really good time and even got to go skiing with her dad and family.

Did you know that the real eggs here usually have brown shells. So egg dying isn't really done. It's a shame because I love dying easter eggs and then making egg salad out of all the eggs after the hunt. You can't even find the dying kits in the stores unless you really really hunt for them.
