Sprinklers, smoothies, park time, hamburgers, and lots of laughs was the report I received when we got home at 10pm. I also got a huge running leap and a bear hug from Jerome who had waited up for us. He had a bouquet and a note waiting for me on my nightstand that he shoved at me too. SO adorable! We could not have had the day we did on Saturday without her. Thank you, Gigi! I&#8217;m so very, very thankful you live near us and can share our lives!<\/p>\n<p>Since Gigi spent the night with us, she got to see the boys open their Easter baskets, and help get all of us ready for church in the morning. When we got home from church everybody immediately changed into comfy clothes as it was a hot day&#8230;but all of the pics of the boy&#8217;s easter egg hunt are casual. Oh, well, they had a blast!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll show you pictures, but first I&#8217;ll tell you that the rest of the day was made so special just by having my sister around! (Not to mention the 20 minute nap I got while she kept them outside!) She came to the family dinner that evening and sat with me while Peter took care of Ian. My day was so special because of my loved ones. But I got home to a message from Vanessa&#8230;we missed their call. Sometimes that feels so heavy. But I have the gift of her voice on my answering machine! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the boy&#8217;s Easter egg hunt and Ian&#8217;s ten month pics&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"lightbox[easter08]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_1598ps.jpg\" title=\" They wandered around the yard for a few minutes before they found any eggs.\"><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_1598ps.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\" They wandered around the yard for a few minutes before they found any eggs.\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"lightbox[easter08]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_1597ps.jpg\" title=\" I love his expression. :-)\"><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_1597ps.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\" I love his expression. :-)\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"lightbox[easter08]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_1602ps.jpg\" title=\" Here is the first series of Seth finding an egg\u2026\"><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_1602ps.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\" Here is the first series of Seth finding an egg\u2026\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"lightbox[easter08]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_1603ps.jpg\" title=\" He would immediately open it and empty the egg into his bucket\u2026\"><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_1603ps.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\" He would immediately open it and empty the egg into his bucket\u2026\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"lightbox[easter08]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_1605ps.jpg\" title=\" And then he would very carefully place the empty egg in his rain boot where he had found his first egg!\"><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_1605ps.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\" And then he would very carefully place the empty egg in his rain boot where he had found his first egg!\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"lightbox[easter08]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_1608ps.jpg\" title=\" Jerome loved the challenge of finding them!\"><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_1608ps.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\" Jerome loved the challenge of finding them!\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"lightbox[easter08]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_1611ps.jpg\" title=\" Another series of Seth finding an egg.
