Is It Ever Gonna Warm Up?

Emma's new Easter dress compliments of Aunt Julie
Yesterday at Sugarhouse Park

Also yesterday, at the U of U Easteregg hunt

We ran into our friends Kris and Michelle up at the U. Emma was keeping a close eye on everybody

Out at Aunt Barbie's for the annual "EEH"


This post is brought to you by "Peeps" the official candy of Easter. After the initial immediate sugar rush, it drops the subject into a stupor that can (in this case) lead to napping. Emma is growing out of the nap-stage of toddler hood, so this is a little unusual. It gives me a chance to bring you all up to date.

As you can tell by the title, I grow weary of the cold weather. We ventured out to the park yesterday afternoon because it was so sunny, but the sun was quickly counterbalanced by the brisk wind out of the North. Nice weather to head South and sit on a rock like a lizard, I think.

Emma has taken advantage of two different egg hunts this week. The first was at Aunt Barbie's, where Denny said she had a blast, and enjoyed playing with her cousins. The second was yesterday morning at the Huntsman Center at the U of U. Kat told us about it, so we went up to participate. It started at 9 sharp, but we arrived at 9:04. Big mistake. Next year we will get there early. Many kids had baskets brimming with the colored eggs, while Emma's seemed almost empty with the seven or eight eggs found in the nether regions outside of the big round dome. Some of the other kids took pity on the empty-looking basket, and put some of their booty in her basket. I am assuming that it was because of her basket, and not the fact that it looked like Emma was being followed by her grandfather. Pity works. Everybody else's parents all look so young!

Denny has been working like a mad dog on the organ for the choir number today in church. She did great, even though I could tell the E key above middle C was sticking on the upper manual. It wasn't her fault, the organ needs work. She does a great job and works so hard.

Well, Denny just arrived home, the dog barked, and Emma woke up, so my time here is done. Time for some malted milk eggs! Ok then.

Thanks for the great blog.
Emma sure is a photogenic little girl.
Hope you saved some of the malted milk eggs for Denise.

Emma looked cute in her dress but she looks much more at home and very cute in her levis and jacket! I love the organ in church for Easter and Christmas! Don't want to play it though..just listen. Hope you had a wonderful Easter:)

She looks so cute in her dress! She is very pretty. Can't believe you did a public egg hunt. I did one. The crowd made me never want to do one again. What good parents you are.

Love the photos - Emma is so pretty in her beautiful new Easter Dress - having her as our honored guest at the EEH makes it so much fun! She's such a smartie and has that twinkle in her eye wherever she goes :)
With love,
