A few of Emma and Bryson's current favorites are:

Most of our books this month were about Easter. We had a blessed Easter and did a number of fun activities with the kids.
On the Saturday before Easter, we went to a community egg hunt, and then afterwards visited a pet store where we got to see some baby Easter bunnies and baby chicks!
Emma and Bryson both opened their Easter baskets on Sunday morning before church service. Their baskets included treats like apple sauce packets, chalk, bubbles, and pails and shovels for playing in the sand!
They even got bunny shaped pancakes for breakfast!
My 3 good things for today are:

- Bryson is walking!
- We have no more snow in our yard, and even some green grass!
