Easter in Review

We began our 4-day Easter extravaganza on Thursday. We dyed eggs-- although did not manage any pictures as there were more pressing matters...like making sure dye wasn't spilled everywhere and the eggs weren't broken!


On Friday we did an Easter egg hunt with some friends in the neighborhood. It seemed brilliant to leave out only empty plastic eggs-- they're all only 2 years old after all, and surely the colorful eggs would be enticing enough?


Saturday we attended another neighborhood Easter egg hunt. Zach, in his infinite wisdom, managed to avoid every egg -- as he had enough empty eggs at home-- and collected only the lollipops and straws which were also stuck in the ground. We begged him to put eggs in his basket (and it was only because all the other kids had reached their 10-egg limit that he even collected any at all!).


On Sunday we had a small egg hunt at home, followed by a brunch with friends, and finally Easter Mass. And finally (after 5 weeks) we have our first family photo of all 4 of us!

Settling In...

The newest addition to the Jarvii household has been nothing but a joy so far. Blake is already 3 1/2 weeks and continues to sleep a bunch, stare endlessly at all things black and white, and cry very little.... We can't get over how similar the boys look at the same age.

Zach has been adjusting really well (helped by the fact that Blake is sleeping so much and crying so little!). Here's a quick clip of a video-- from one of our first days back home-- of Zach singing to his little brother.
