Boys and their trucks

Last weekend cousin Alicia was over for a visit and we went to a local "touch a truck" event. These kind of events, where a group brings in construction, emergency, etc, kind of vehicles can be hit or miss, especially after the one we went to the in DC the day before David was born. That one filled a parking lot at RFK AND had a helicopter land and take off. This local one was still pretty fun and the two biggest hits were the trash truck and the mini excavator.

Easter

I was facing another round of "sharing is not caring" colds from the boys and didn't get as many Easter photos as I would have liked. But here are the few that I did get. We all went ot Good Friday services and cheered as people got "bath-tized" and after early Sunday services all took a wonderfully long nap (nice for a sick mommy). As dinner was getting ready the boys played and got in on the action of a neighborhood Easter Egg hunt that our neighbor puts together.

David trying communion during the Good Friday service

Daniel meeting the Easter Bunny at the store on Easter Saturday...and realizing he has treats.

David learning how to hunt for eggs

And learning quickly!

Alicia being a helping more than a hunter

Daniel finding even more eggs!

And MORE eggs.

Helmets optional (they had been riding bikes before the hunt)

Too much fun for baby David.

Visit to Charlottesville

We did have a quick trip to Charlottesville this past summer, just me and the boys, but we haven't been as a family in years. I've been wanting the boys to spend some time with the Zimet girls to get ready for our week in Jamaica this summer. Melina, the true oldest child kept them in line, and Daniel was just sweet and crazy. Diane is the silent little ninja who we should probably keep our eye on more. And David is just trying to keep up with the big kids, though I think he's showing ninja characteristics and he and Diane could be a dynamic dou come this summer..watch out!
