Parachutes, Egg Hunts, and A New House!!

April has been busy for our family!  Nicole and David have a double closing date to sell their present home and buy their dream home in early May!! Rich and I got to tag along on the final round of elimination...so many houses, but in the end they decided to go for a beautiful home in a wonderful rolling-hill neighborhood just 5 minutes from work and 10 minutes from their church and Claire's daycare! They got the news about the new house on Easter Sunday right after lunch! 

Claire is more excited about the new parachute :)

As the day wears on we decide there's no time like the present to start packing up stuff like china and fancy glasses! I have decided that I am a bit superstitious, so I won't show a picture of the new place until they have closed...anything could happen and well they should be showing the pics first anyway...so stay tuned!!

But I am all out of order here...

Saturday, after a busy day of house hunting, grocery shopping, etc. we had an early dinner and took Claire to Veteran's Park...

We spent Easter with all of the kids and David's brother, Aaron (who works in Dreamcakes, recently ranked in the top 5 bakeries in America by People something-or-other...I knew I would forget). After church we had a wonderful lunch prepared by Nicole, Chelsea, and Katelyn...topped off with a lovely Raspberry Lemon Cheesecake!!

The Hello Kitty band aid is hiding one of Claire's run-ins with a vicious baseboard!!

I really didn't know that she was wearing the lavender plaid...

But we love being matchy-match :)

After lunch it was time for Claire's Easter Egg Hunt.  Chelsea and Katelyn were in charge of hiding the eggs and must have remembered those years when they couldn't find the last 6 eggs...;)

It's not Easter without a bonnet!!

Claire was ecstatic to find jelly beans in the eggs!!

After a successful egg hunt it was time for parachute fun...

And then the text from their realtor...they accepted your offer!!

Pop gives Claire a tricycle lesson....hmmmm...she still needs some lessons I think...and a nap!

We had such a great weekend it was hard to get on with the week...but we did!  Katelyn and I headed up to Nashville, Chelsea back to Auburn, Rich back home, and Nicole, David, and Claire back to their routine!!
