Our First Post!

I am just going to jump right in and get started talking about what has been going on in our lives. I will only be able to go as far back as Easter, because that is when I got a new laptop. All of our other pictures are saved on Justin's computer. Because he is a touch possessive with it, I may not be able to access those pictures yet.
So here goes...
On Easter the kids got up early to see what the Easter bunny left for them. I'm not convinced that Chandler (turned 8 in January) really believes in the Easter bunny, but as long as there's candy involved, he'll go along for the ride. The kids followed the jelly bean trail from their bedrooms into the living room and found their baskets. They were full of candy and toys.
Next we went to breakfast at IHOP (certainly not our first choice, but the wait was more reasonable than at our first two choices). The kids behaved during breakfast, and about 2/3rds through the meal, a woman at the table behind us came over as she and her party were leaving. She leaned over my shoulder and said, "I just want to say your children are SO well behaved! They could not have been any better! I have five children so I know how it can be." Justin and I just looked at each other, we were speechless. Somehow I managed to thank her, and wish her a Happy Easter. We finished our meal, and when Justin requested the check, our waiter told us that it had already been paid. It was a great way to start the day!
For our Easter meal we went over to our friends' Jeff and Ginette's house. They have an enormous backyard, so we decided to have our Easter egg hunt there. Olivia LOVED hunting for eggs, and got angry if someone took one that she saw (even if she was across the yard.)
