Spring Has Sprung
Spring has sprung. As seen in this photo... our neighborhood is sprouting babies, toddlers, and children. Last weekend was the neighborhood Easter egg hunt. It is unbelievable how many kids have been born / moved in the past several years.
At this event, only a fraction of the "children of the 'hood" are in attendance. You have to admit -- the babies stole the show during the shooting of these photos! How sweet are they?!
Mercer has definitely got the hang of how the egg hunt works... Looks like he worked his way to the front of the pack so he's first in the final hunt which is located in the hosts' back yard. Last year, he was just discovering that there was candy inside of some of the plastic eggs. This year, he cracked open all of the plastic eggs before he left each of the 6 houses to see what was inside. Most of the time, he'd polish off the candy inside before moving onto the next house. Sometimes, he would share his prize inside, however, with Todd, me, or another kid. He has been pretty good about sharing lately.
Another thing he's been good at -- doling out compliments. "Mom - I like that shirt." "Daddy - I like your shoes." "I told ____ today at school that I liked their lunchbox." The compliments are passed out randomly, but it's funny / cute when it happens.
We got to recently hang out with our friends, Chad & Susan last night plus their 4 children: Hunter, Caeli, Rune, and "baby" Saber as they're in town during their spring break. We spent the entire evening in the back yard hanging out. The kids played bocce (Mercer's newest favorite past-time), played basket ball, frisbee (which ended up in the pond sometimes), and played in/around the stream.
The adults grilled out, prepped food, and caught up since our last visit together. We're going to try to spend as much time with them as we can before they move to Arkansas!
We did not get a chance to send out Easter cards. For our family and friends who read the blog, we are sending you our warmest wishes for a happy, blessed Easter.
