Happy Easter

Every Easter has been different for us. This is the fifth Easter that we have spent in Maryland. I don't remember what we did our first Easter out here, but the second we spent in LA visiting Adi and Eliza. The third included Braden, and last year we were able to visit with both my dad and Juli and Jeff and Shelly. No matter what, we have had family near to spend the holidays. We have been so fortunate to have had Melanie so close for the past 4 years, which is wonderful, and for a minute Steve joined the family on the East coast.


This Easter Brian is in San Fransisco for a conference but he wasn't alone. He was with Steve and Yi, who I am sure took good care of him. I took Braden and Reese to Mel's where we talked, played, ate and then took a walk to a local park. They had so much for kids to do. Braden was in heaven. He played in the sand box, went down the slides and drove a fire engine while Reese took a snooze. The end of our visit came with his love for this car you see in the picture below. He missed his nap and in pure exhaustion had a big fit when another little boy was driving it. This event led to our exit and drive back to Baltimore.

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter day.

Braden and the beloved car.

In this picture you can see Braden in the car and I am sitting on the bench with Reese in the background.

Thanks for the pictures Mel!
