For your Monday:
Jeff & I are such great parents that I would like to post here an anecdote that illustrates this. And when I say that we are great parents, I mean that we are often NOT AT ALL great parents. And when I say Jeff and I, I, of course, mean Jeff. Consider:
The following is a lovely rhyme that my husband has imparted to the impressionable brain of our eldest son:
"Once upon a time when the moon was green
Around the corner came a pooping machine.
A shot was fired, a scream was heard,
A man got killed by a flying turd"
Noah doesn't fully understand the verbiage and sings it this way:
"Once upon a time when the moon was green
Around the corner came a pooping machine."
(so far so good, pooping is something any child worth his salt understands. However, the rest sort of deviates:)
"An old man got killed by a turtle"
"ha ha ha ha ha ha ha"
The end.

Easter:
I will not monologue on Easter...it was probably the same as your Easter, except that we had friends (Justin & Linda & kids) over to help us celebrate it. We put our own baskets together for economy's sake, & it was good. Enjoy the pics!
Dilly looking cute & bruised (he did it to himself, I promise!)
Noah dilligently searching for the eggs
Dillon, not dilligent at all, with the only egg he found because we actively told him where it was.
Of many things:
Firstly: Happy Birthday Momma! I'm only a VERY LITTLE late in posting on this, but I figured it didn't really matter because you don't get on this blog very much. But I hope you see this & know how much I love you & Jeff & the kids too....we miss you & are so thankful for all you've done for us. Whenever we have a "child freakout" or a medical question where pregancy is concerned I always know I can call you up & get an educated, well-though out answer....or if you don't know, you research for me & send me all sorts of things you find! It's always above & beyond, and not everyone would do that.
Of course, that's just one of the things that make you special. I could go on & on...but time & space fail me. So Happy Birthday and may you have a wonderful, exciting 55th year. I hope to see more of you...don't know how that will work, but I pray that it does, somehow. Thanks for everything, especially recently.
On the job front: Thank you, everybody, for all your kind inquiries & words & wishes. Jeff is assiduously job searching still, and has some promising leads which I will not jinx by speaking of them here. But I think that if it's meant to be, it will be. I'm counting on it. Will let you know more soon.
