...........is what I'd say this girl has!  We had an egg hunt with some friends in our front yard before Easter and when she saw one up too high there was no stopping her.  She didn't even hesitate - just climbed up the fence and got her egg!!  (I'm just glad Greg didn't place it any higher!) 

Brother and sister sharing a happy moment together!

The whole gang!  Our friend on the red scooter is almost 5 years old and broke his leg last week, earning him a full leg cast for 6 weeks.  To his mother's delight she found this scooter that he can wheel himself around on instead of her carrying him everywhere since he cannot use crutches.  He is quite mobile on it and is fun to watch.  Another picture of determination!

On another note, we had a wonderful 9 day visit with Greg's cousin Laurie from MA.  She bravely came to help us out during this "ever-crazy 4th baby adjustment time" and ski the Utah powder for the 1st time.  We were so sad to see her go and hopes she comes again soon.  We took her on a few day trips (or she took us really) when I mastered nursing in the van (not while moving - I did that once with Esther and won't try that again !)   

Laurie cooked us up some treats while she was here.  She works in a family-owned restaurant on the coast on MA and whipped us up some crab cakes, seafood casserole, and bbque ribs below.  It was my first time (and Esther's - she's a little ahead of me here) eating ribs so we had to document me getting my hands dirty eating them.  They were delicious and I realize I've been missing out all these years!

Andrew likes to whip up deserts for us combining ingredients to create his own unique flavors.  This one was edible with granola, ice cream, chocolate chips, crushed cookies and whipped cream on top.

For Easter we had a quiet family day going to church, eating with a friend and getting ready for Greg to leave us for a week in PA. 

We've survived the first 4 days with terrible weather and being inside all day.  Anyone with 4 little ones knows that's an Rx for hard times.  Today was a slice of heaven with the sun shining, neighbors bursting forth from their homes and everyone smiling.  We even topped the evening off with ice cream sundaes and movie night (Treasure Island)..  Greg plays in the Lehigh Alumni soccer game tomorrow then he's back home on Sunday when I will greet him with very open (and tired) arms!
