Easter is sneaking up on me again. Honestly - I do not know how I am surprised every single year. Perhaps it's because Easter falls in a different month/week/day each year! Too bad we can't just agree on a day. That would make it easier on me.
I did manage to pick up some eggs and dye. This was Joey's first year of dying eggs, because before we weren't sure if he should be around them. Which means it was Grace and Matthew's first time, too. We had a lovely time, although it only took a few minutes. I didn't want five dozen eggs, or something excessive like that - so each kid only did 6 eggs. And, since they each had 3 colors, they only had to do two batches each. But it was fun while it lasted!

I was SO excited when I got a call from my high school friend, Anne. She came up from CA for a few days, and I got to visit with her on her uncle's farm. It snowed (in April, of course) the night before and during our little jaunt out there. But we made it, and Matt and Grace tore around the beautiful house while Anne and Craig and I talked for an hour and a half -- which turned out to be not enough time, by far. I think we needed, like, 4 more days or so. It was so good to catch up and see my friend again. I hope they will be able to visit a lot in the future, and I wouldn't mind at all going down to sunny California!
It's crazy how long it's been -- and how far we've come! We could sure do some damage in high school, but now we're just two mommies (ahem -- in their 30's!) enjoying our families. We've gained a few wrinkles (but we still look darn good!), but we've also gained a lot of wisdom, so I think that's completely awesome. Life is good. Can't wait to see you again, Anne!
