1st Annual Easter Egg Hunt

In true Easter Bunny Fashion, we successfully hosted our 1st Annual Easter Egg Hunt. Although the weather really didn't cooperate...we "hid" eggs inside instead. We invited Jacob's girlfriend, Lucy, and Lucy's cousin, Hayden to take part in the festivities. Since all the kids are 2 and under, you can see the extent of the "hiding", but they had a good time scooping up the eggs and putting them in their buckets.

Of course my Jacob was all about picking up the eggs...I think it stems from the "neat freak" gene that his Daddy passed down to him! All in all everyone had a blast and got lots of fun trinkets and trash in their Easter Eggs. Hopefully next year we'll be able to do it outside.

All Rise....

Ugh....so today I had my first experience with Jury Duty. I'd never done anything like that...and I have to say, I was very nervous about the whole thing. It went on FOREVER!!!!! Just when I thought that I'd made it through, my name got called. It was like an out of body experience...I was so scared....who knows why, it's not like I did anything wrong! So I go and answer my questions, and just my luck, I get picked. Josh thinks it's hilarious and that I'm serving my civic duty....and he's right, but I'm still terrified. Now I have to go back for the next 2 days and do Juror things, whatever those are. All I could do was to not laugh during court cuz I kept hearing the Judge Woppner (is that how you spell it?) theme song...you know you know what I'm talkin' about.

Home Sweet Home

Well....today we signed the purchase agreement for a new house!!! It's a very exciting and expensive day :) We've been looking for awhile, mostly at vacant land, so we could build a home, but stumbled on this one and couldn't pass it up. Our major motivator was to get into a different school district, and this house put us squarely in Buchanan schools...PERFECT!!! The house sits on 10 acres of woods and is mostly what we wanted, so we took the plunge. Now the challenge is to sell our house and plan the big move. Looks like many obstacles ahead, but somehow I know things will work out.

I can't wait for moving day!!!
