Easter, postponed

I am not on the ball these days, like I used to be... HA! Here is the tale of our Easter.

The day before, our neighborhood put on an egg hunt for all of the neighbor kids. It was like a mini carnival with face painting and a jump house and other diversions. Maddox was so sweet, not sure what to do, he put the eggs in other kids baskets. He really is good at sharing but to give away candy!?

Sunday morning we tried going to church. Maddox was sick, and to be kind to the other parents, we grabbed a coffee and sat in the lobby while Maddox ran around and flirted with the other sick kids hanging out in the lobby. Needless to say, we didn't actually catch ANY of the sermon, but it was worth a shot.

After church we went over to Grammie and Papaw Myers' for a delicious lunch of ribs. We attempted another egg hunt, but Maddox was far more interested in the game of badminton that was going on, and got awfully distracted by the many balls laying about the yard. Also, how much fun is a solo hunt anyway? His Aunts and Uncles were selfish and stayed in Bozeman where the weather was nasty... next year they'll know better.

For dinner, we had Julian, Jen and Jeremy (brother, brother's girlfriend, brother's roommate), over for dinner and then went to Riverfront Park to feed the ducks. Maddox loves to feed the ducks and will repeat "duck, duck, Duck, DUCK" in the grocery store bakery. That's right, we feed the ducks warm, fresh-baked, french bread.... don't judge us.

It was a full and lovely day spent with family. Aren't we blessed to be surrounded by so much family?

All I get is an empty white box where you usually put your slide show. I am bummed....I want to see pix of my baby boy! PS. I STILL have a box of goofy stuff for Easter that I have not sent to you yet. Hmmm maybe for the 4th of July?
