Will Spring EVER Arrive??

I told my husband the other day, as we were arriving for one of our many outdoor sporting events, in the cold, in the wind, and in the somewhat misty rain, that when our kids were grown up and gone, I wanted to move. Out of Michigan. Didn't know where, just that I didn't want to be in this state anymore when at this time of year, it is STILL as cold and wet as it's been! Maybe we'll go here...where the palm trees live :)

You never know...

This Easter weekend was not lacking in activity for the Bolles Family! Drew and Andie's cousin, Carter (who turns one this Thursday) is visiting all the way from Tampa, Florida. We had family time with them Saturday evening, Sunday morning and Sunday evening. What a cutie pie he is!! We had not seen them since last June, when Carter was just a tiny baby. He has completely fallen in love with Andie - his face lights up and he immediately goes to her for hugs. It's the cutest thing! So wish we all lived closer so we could see one another more...

Sunday was a very busy, but productive day! We got up and went to Church first thing in the morning...we are used to going Saturday evenings, but Easter is always on Sunday. It was a beautiful Mass! The visiting priest we had for it was great! We then had both of our families over for brunch and an Easter Egg Hunt for the kids. (Thanks to my wonderful Mom for all the goodies that there were in the kids' eggs!!) After everybody left, I mopped the floors, did about four loads of laundry, went for a walk with my hubby, even managed to close my eyes for a bit. Then we went back over to Mike's parents for a scrumptous dinner of swiss steak, mashed potatoes, veggies, the works! YUMMY food all day yesterday! Needless to say - I need to walk walk walk!!!!!

The kids were thrilled with their Easter baskets - Andie received some volleyball stuff, and Drew scored some new sweats in his. Not to mention the chocolate goodies. Really needing to kick that willpower in to stay away from it...I hear the Hershey's eggs calling to me. I might just have to get one tiny egg.

Such a blessed time of year!
