Then there was the Easter Egg Hunt at Heron Lakes. This is about the only picture we got of Clara since she was not at all pleased with the big blue bunny. She said if he would have been purple like last year she would have gotten down. Easter is one of my favorite holidays so you can imagine my disappointment when Clara refused to hunt eggs and Connell came back with a whopping two eggs. Ben was embarassed when I announced out loud that they weren't my kids.
The kids did manage to pull through on the obligatory Easter morning picture though.
Spring brought about Field Day at St. Mary's, a first for Connell being a kindergartner. It was very exciting for us as parents and in fact we postponed flying out to Durham for Ben's 10 year reunion until we had seen Connell at Tug-of-War. Even with Connell anchoring the team they couldn't pull through. One thing Connell has learned through all of his sports is how to be a graceful loser. Still working on the graceful winner part though.
We made one more additional trip so far which has been plenty after almost missing our flight to Durham. We spent Mother's Day in Memphis. We went up to see AJ's performance as Cogsworth in Beauty and the Beast. We had a great time. AJ was fabulous and the kids loved it. Here's a picture of Ben's parents with all their kids.
As if our Spring wasn't busy enough we are expecting an even busier summer with swim team and the Fall looks like it won't be slowing down any with the addition of a 3rd Heinz kid in November.
