Shoes and Bunnies

I have so needed this Spring Break! My nieces and nephews add so much joy to my life.

My 2-year-old niece attempting to tie her shoe. She knows it has something to do with twisting the laces around each other, around, and around, and around...

50 point units for anyone who can guess which bunny was made by my sister-in-law, and which was painstakingly decorated by the loving hands of my 7-year-old niece and her friend.

Get Crackin', Banana Man!


Since our Spring Break so conveniently falls on the week before Easter Sunday, Scott and I have decided to drive to Massachusetts for the weekend - Scott's sister and her family live near Amherst. While we were in MA we thought it would be nice to see some old friends of ours, Ben and Susannah - they live in Cambridge - so we took a little detour through Boston and spent Wednesday evening with them. After some stress trying to navigate the narrow, twisted, and confusing roads of Boston, we arrived just in time for dinner. As excited as we were to spend some time with Ben and Susannah, we were even more pleased when we discovered what was on the menu - Cran Chops! They were delicious.

If you don't know why having Cran Chops was so exciting to me, I'm thoroughly disappointed. I'm just not sure if we can be friends anymore.
