Easter

About all I can say is we got through Easter.

Kean has been edgy all day and wasn't much into the whole

tradition thing.

The girls were all over the egg hunt at the grandparents.

 Kean?  Not so much.

 All he'd say was "candy, no!"

At least we got some good speech practice out of him.

 Actually, he had hurt his thumb- pulled all of the skin off

his knuckle about an hour before the egg hunt.

That clearly put him over the edge

and he was pretty much inconsolable

 until he finally fell asleep in my arms watching Cars.

 He missed the family dinner and the "golden egg hunt".

 My parents put five dollars in an egg for each of the

grandchildren-- and we hide them in really, really hard places

and then just laugh as the kids go crazy trying to find them.

Happy Easter everyone.  How thankful we are

for the real reason for this holiday-- the knowledge we have

that our Savior died for us and was resurrected so each of

us may have the opportunity to be made whole through Him.

What great comfort He brings-- to realize that one day

Kean's struggles will be made into strengths thanks to the Atonement.
