Easter weekend

The kids had a fun filled Easter weekend. They've been at my mom's house since Thursday, because Russ & I are so sick we can barely move. We've been dropping the baby off during the day so we can get the rest we need. This viral thing could not have come at a worse time! We missed coloring eggs, a big annual egg hunt hosted by one of Russ's friends, the looks on their faces when they woke up to their baskets, and the biggest of all: Owen walking for the first time! 8 steps! He gave us a repeat performance today. He just stood up and walked. He did it like he'd been walking for weeks. I was speechless. Since we'd missed so much, we pulled ourselves out of bed to watch the kids hunt for eggs at mom's house. It was wonderful to see them so happy and having so much fun. We are all so lucky to have family to help us out. It would have been a sad Easter otherwise.
