Todd, Kathy, and the kids came for Spring break, and we made the most of our time together. The weather cooperated, and it was beautiful. We actually made it to the beach for some fun. The kids loved playing in the water on boogie boards and building sand castles.
On Saturday, we had our annual Easter Breakfast at the park. This tradition started before I can remember. We cook ham, hash brown potatoes, and eggs. We used to play volleyball, but as the adults have aged, it has evolved to a more sedate game of croquette. Still, it's a fun way to spend a morning. The kids always look forward to the Easter egg hunt. Instead of candy, we hide snacks and boxed drinks. This year, however, I think the highlight was the egg tossing contest held between the two Todds. They threw the eggs high up in the air, and tried to catch them in their mouths. It was very entertaining and pretty messy.
On Sunday, Owen was blessed. It was a great opportunity to get a picture of the kids.
I can't believe it was 32 years ago when this little "munchkin" was born. It was an easy pregnancy and an even easier delivery. Life with her was always fun. I especially enjoy my memories of our camping trips and vacations. No matter where we were, she always found something fun to do. Amy is also one of the sweetest, most caring people I know and she
has been that way from birth. She was a joy to raise and it is wonderful to watch her raise her own family. I couldn't be prouder of who she has become. I love you, Amy. Happy Birthday.
