We've had a beautiful warm week. The flowers are blooming. On Wednesday I went outside to take pictures of the daffodils in the backyard and while there I took a picture to show that the pear tree was about to bloom. By Saturday it was in full bloom! The redbud in the front is my favorite, but it hasn't bloomed all the way so we still have that to look forward to. The birds have returned. I watched a robin build a nest yesterday in the birch tree by my bedroom window. Maybe we will get to see eggs and babies soon. 

On Wednesday…

On Sunday…

We started off the week with my birthday. It wasn't my best birthday ever because I worked the night before and the night after. Marc and the kids gave me cards and presents and we ate lots of ice cream to celebrate. Then I went off to work. I slept when I got home and then was sick for two days. bummer. Yesterday, Thomas came down with whatever it was. Hopefully everyone else will stay healthy.

Especially Marc who is taking off to drive to Tennessee tomorrow. I haven't mentioned before, but Marc and St. Anthony's have parted ways. Marc was very unhappy there. He is hoping to do some contract work while we evaluate options. Tomorrow he will start a very short term job (one week) in Tennessee. We will miss him. 

Meanwhile, we have all enjoyed the nice weather and the days off that the kids got for Easter. Melody sewed herself some new pajama bottoms yesterday.  Here she is modeling them.

Everyone enjoyed some tome to relax and spend time with friends. Thomas and friends had fun throwing stuffies down the stairs, (a game that used to be popular when they were younger… ). The stuffie friend collection has grown big enough to hide people in it. Maybe it's time to get rid of some toys…

Melody made Easter pancakes for us this morning. We will eat cinnamon rolls later during conference. Then have an Easter egg hunt, and later a ham and mashed potato dinner. It will be a nice day. I really like spring, and eating I guess.
