Easter

We had a quiet Easter at home. The kids looked for Easter baskets before church. I left early to practice with choir before church. The church meeting was nice even with having to play pass-the-baby with Bry who was conducting the meeting and sitting at the front of the chapel where I went when the choir sang (two numbers - a prelude and an interlude). Trickiest bit was trying to pick her up from him while holding my choir folder but it was pretty slick. 

After church the kids got to hunt for eggs - Gwen's first time really participating. She caught on pretty well. 








All three kids reached for the stuffed animal in their basket first. They are my children. :)

Henry lately

Henry has been doing soccer this season and loving it (even with some of the games being in the rain). Bry is coaching the team which has been a new experience but he has been learning and doing a great job. 

Henry also participated in a kindergarten spring program. He was one of a few kids who got a speaking part and he did great. They sang songs, of which my favorite was one about worms. They had to be wiggly worms at one point and Henry was one of the wiggliest. It was such a cute program I nearly cried but I managed to hold it together. It was a special thing to see - something Emma missed out on without knowing it her kindergarten year since it was virtual/online then. 



(Belated) E's birthday

 I thought I had posted about Emma's birthday but evidently not. She got to be baptized on her birthday so it was a very special day in January. Quite a few friends and family were able to make it, including family that watched from home thanks to Google meet. Emma was so happy after being baptized she hopped while in the font and skipped after getting out. 




The above photos were taken the week before her birthday. All the photos below were taken on her birthday. 





Opening her new scriptures.

Fitting them in a new bag.

Wearing a blanket on her head and looking at books. Ha.

Assembling her new scooter.
