Easter/Spring Break 2010...(World's Longest Post)

I have a TON of pictures to post... considering we've just had Easter as well as a week off of school for Spring Break. Here are some of our highlights since my last post.

• Nali came to visit!! Thanks for entertaining us, Nali. Come again soon!
• Sophie opened her first Easter basket...filled with lots of goodies (Thanks, Nali!)
• Lucas had his first Easter egg hunt of the year... in our living room. He especially liked the ones with edible goodies inside. :)


• Headed to Ohio for Easter with the Rupp family! The kids got all dressed up in their new outfits... thanks Grandma and Grandpa!
• Went to Great-Grandma Rupp's for Easter lunch and dinner. While there Caleb and Lucas had an Easter Egg hunt all to themselves- then later all the great-grandkids got a few swings at an Easter pinata...full of... MORE candy!!!
• The weather was amazing in Ohio so we spent a lot of time swinging...
• as well as many trips to the park on the gator... (check out this crazy monkey man!)
• With the remainder of our Spring Break week we spent time back home in Indiana... enjoying the sunshine. Lucas is really into baseball right now so we played lots of games in the backyard. So far he's enjoyed being the pitcher, catcher, and of course, batter because he gets to run all the bases when he gets a good hit.
• Thursday morning Lucas and I went to the Monon Center to go swimming while Eric and Sophie did some grocery shopping. It had been awhile since Lucas had been swimming (well, do you count hour long bubble baths????) so he was a little shy at first, but he soon got into it, just like old times. His favorite thing is to run through all of the sprinklers and squeal at the top of his lungs. Imagine that!
• We met up at Cool Creek Park with our great buddies, the Gibbs. Parker and Lucas have been in the same room at TOTS since they were babies... and now Graham and Sophie are in the same room... as babies!!
• We had our first (professional) family pictures taken... more to come on another post.
  So yes, it's been a GREAT week here at home and being with family and friends. Every year I get like this right about now...but I can't WAIT until summer. So thankful for the warmer sunnier weather so we can be outside for now. It's so nice to see neighbors out working in their yards again, go for bike rides and walks... and just enjoy all that spring has to offer.
