Our favorite pastime--playing in the yard

WHEEEE!!!
Child labor laws don't apply at this house!
Both kids are happiest when they are outdoors!

Easter 2010

The night before Easter we dyed eggs.
Everett especially liked playing with his Easter basket grass.
That is one hungry Easter Bunny.  Look at all those carrots!
Ethan had a million eggs to find Easter morning.
The Easter Bunny left one carrot for Sam.
we were smart this year...we hid the real eggs and left Sam inside.  Last year he ate about half a dozen eggs.
Everett kinda looks like an Easter egg himself!
Happy Easter!

A day at Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens

The day before Easter a neighbor brought over a baby bunny that he found in his yard for Roy to look at and make sure it was okay.  It was, and much to Ethan's dismay we released it in a wooded area of the neighborhood. 
Later that day we went to Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden with Zachary and Dana Gormley for an Easter celebration. It was GORGEOUS with all the tulips and daffodils, hyacinths and pansies in bloom!
This was a cool display of 4,000 pinwheels. Each one represented a child serviced by the Child Abuse Prevention Coalition in Richmond in 2009. It was very impressive watching the wind blow the sea of silver and blue!
I'm ready for Easter!
Can't keep shoes on this little tyke!
Ethan loved petting the bunnies!
What a beautiful place!
