Happy Easter

Our first Easter with Jenny, lots of fun. The Easter Bunny was very good to our daughter. She found plastic eggs with lots of sparkly hair clips in them,


a wind-up chick, which Jenny is following across the living room table...


and hidden inside all that green grass..


some sparkly bead bracelets, also hidden inside an Easter egg...



After brunch with bunny bao, and a vain attempt at a nap (no way mom), we went out into the backyard for an Easter Egg Hunt. Jenny did really well tracking down all those brightly colored eggs. She packed them into her special "Peeps" easter bag, a very thoughtful gift from Kristen's colleague whose family--Chinese--comes from the same region as Jenny does.







Most exciting of all, we've discovered that we have our own batch of easter bunnies nesting just off of our back porch. Jenny and I saw momma bunny working on the nest a week ago. Momma stays close in the yard, and the nest has lots of rabbit down, but we haven't seen her near it since. The pile of grass, leaves and moss that marks the nest, however, does move from time to time, so we know the wee bunnies are inside. The cats' keen interest is another give away.

Happy Easter, everyone. Spring is really, finally here. Hurrah!

I am so glad to see you are back in the world of blogging! You are looking so great Kris and so is Miss Jenny!
Amazingly a year ago you guys were in China and I was starting our packing!
The year has flown!
I must admit it is only in the last month or so Alice has stopped looking for the next family to come and we see she is more settled!
