Happy Easter! 2012

 Spring Break this year was full of adventure this year.  The pictures only tell the end of the story.  The break started last week when I brought the three kids to my parents in Leota.  They spent the night at Grandpa and Grandma along with the next day.  I drove back to the cities on Tuesday morning to join Mike on a flight out to Boston, MA for Mike to finalize his research requirements for his upcoming fellowship and for us to find a place to lease for the year.  
Our time in Boston was a roller coaster ride!  The opportunities and adventures that await us are so very exciting, but the the city was very unfamiliar and overwhelming to navigate.  We made some great progress in the end and found a great place to live come July 1st. (more details on this later).
The kids then left for Auntie Ginnie in Sioux Falls on Wednesday, then off to Sioux Center, IA to stay with the Walhofs and then went back to Leota where we met them on Saturday morning.
The kids had a fun Easter party in Leota on Saturday morning complete with an Easter Egg Hunt and a real bunny.  When asked what the Easter Bunny has to do with Jesus being raised from the dead Hailey replied, "Nothing, but we still love the candy."




 Craft time with Grandma.
