Happy Easter!

I'm sad to admit that Easter didn't get a lot of attention around here this year. Matt was right in the middle of writing a final paper and studying for a final, and the stress level in our house was HIGH. (We're still waiting to hear if he's qualified for graduation on May 13, but he is pretty confident that his tests turned out ok-- whew!)

We snuck in a quick egg coloring session on Friday evening. Elaina's favorite part was dipping her fingers in the coloring and licking them. Eww.

We ended up with some pretty eggs and not as many casualties as we had last year. Elaina was convinced that the eggs were balls last year, and quite a few eggs ended up cracked when she threw them. This year, she just wanted to smash them together for fun. Believe it or not, we were able to control this a little better than last year's throwing.

We had a nice Easter service at church then ran home for a quick meal before Matt headed back to studying. Next year, we will have NO studying and TWO girls on Easter. We're looking forward to it! (If you look closely in the photo below, you can see a little (18 week) baby "bump". I'll post some more belly shots as the bump grows. )
