It's been a LONG winter.
The kids took part in the neighborhood easter egg hunt last week. There was snow on the ground, but many of the kids were in t-shirts!
The adults took advantage of the snow, though.
This was the girls' first year taking part in the egg hunt and they caught on right away.
The neighborhood egg hunt is very organized, and the kids are divided into groups by age. Quinn won the coveted "golden egg" for his age group, which was a very proud moment for him.
Todd sent me some more pictures from when he, Kelly, and the kids visited. This one of Todd with the girls makes me laugh - don't they look like they're about to cause lots of trouble!
In other news, we've decided to send Quinn to a new school next year. It's called Capitol Hill, and is a gifted and talented magnet run through the public school system. When Moin and I took the tour I asked Quinn if there was anything we should keep an eye out for. He said to be sure the school had books and maps, so I took pictures of each for him!
Some of the books in the 1st grade classroom
And a map from a 1st grade classroom, on which the ancestry of each child is marked with string
Quinn is excited to go there next year.
Finally, a few pictures of the girls being silly
They're sick of being stuck inside, but aren't we all. Real spring can't come soon enough!
Miss you all! Can't wait to see you again and will hope it's warm then!
