Somehow I think this year was defined by Easter. I spent all day remembering last Easter and how things were so much different but so much the same. Luke was there, Jen was there, Kailey was in mommy's tummy. It's weird how it can be Thanksgiving or Christmas and you look back and thing, wow that was a long year. But then you get to a stupid holiday like Valentine's day or Easter and it's like, wow that went so fast, even though it's the same amount of time.
Today went basically nothing like I planned. Jen's sister Carly was here for spring break so I thought it would be more fun to paint easter eggs with a younger one there. Mom and I went to meeting and then picked up Luke (I missed my baby, I hadn't seen him since Thursday) and went home. We ate an amazing lunch of ham and scalloped potatoes (yum) and then mom, Jen, Carly and Kailey ran off to the clinic because we thought baby had an ear infection (she didn't, just a bad cold). When they got back we opened easter baskets (which I put together, the height of my easter excitement) and were too lazy to paint eggs. Maybe next year when Kai is older.
Luke and I made Easter baskets for eachother in addition to the ones we got from eachother's families and our own. Turns out 3 easter baskets is a bit much. He got me lillies though. I've never gotten them before and they smell sooo good. They smell like plumerias (my fav flower ever-mostly because of the smell) and they made me want to go back to Hawaii (like I don't usually want to go back).
My whole family is being taken out by this crazy sickness (Robert, gram, Jen, baby, mom, dad, Luke, Julie, all the guys that work for my dad...not even kidding). I was sick when I came home fom break and assumed I had gotten it but I woke up with a sore throat this morning so I'm a little worried. Especially since Luke had the same cold I had the first time so he could get it too. Unfortunately it's highly contagious and lasts forever. Boo.
Happy Happy Easter!!!
hey girl, you didn't get sick did you? i'm worried for you! i don't like sicknesses that take out entire families & their employees- that is scary dude!
