...very, very busy...


There's a song on one of Emily's cd's called "Busy, Busy, Busy". It's by Sandra Boynton - Check it out.  (If you have kids and don't have her books or any of the cd's she's put out, you are missing out out on one of the great benefits of having children - reading and listening to silly stuff without guilt.  After all, it's for the children.)  

Anyway that song accurately describes our lives here lately.  March was a blur - Emily was even sick on Easter.  She had an adorable dress, but she had to stay home.  No cute pictures for us.  To be honest, we almost forgot about the, ahem, necessary supplies and ended up getting them on Saturday.  (Emily asked why Caleb got a white chocolate bunny and she got a milk chocolate one. I didn't want to tell her that I had called Caleb from the store and asked what each of them would want, so I told her that next year the "Easter Bunny" would bring her white chocolate if that's what she wanted.  She narrowed her eyes and asked "Are YOU the Easter Bunny?".  I laughed, looked at Joel and said "Well, let's just say that the Easter Bunny and I are like 'this'" and I crossed my fingers.  Joel then balled up his hands into fists, put them under his chin and hopped into the living room.  Emily laughed.  I guess that's the end of that.) 

 
The weekend after that was the Passion Play at church.  The entire family was involved.  It goes on for 4 nights and it's a wonderful experience.  This picture is from rehearsals.  They recreated Da Vinci's Last Supper.  It was pretty amazing.  Can you find Joel?  I'll post some video when Joel gets done with it.  Right after that, I had some problems that entailed many medical excursions and I am now finally recovering.  Add the normal every day stuff of work and school and the busy song has been our theme song!  There's much to tell, so hopefully things will settle down, and posting will increase.  Stay tuned!
