Easter in Pennsylvania

We spent Easter visiting family in Pennsylvania. We went to an Easter Egg Hunt with Aunt Linda Patton and Uncle Butch, colored Easter eggs, found our Easter baskets, and had another Easter Egg Hunt at Aunt Linda's house. We had a great weekend!!

A Great Quote!!!

"People are like fun house mirrors, they reflect a distorted image back at you. Sometimes they are flattering, other times they are not. But ultimately, their observations have more to do with their own insecurities than you. We all tend to take other peoples perceptions of us way too seriously. There are always going to be people who think you could be doing a better job parenting, dressing better, doing something to change your body image, following a different career path etc etc. Maybe they are right, maybe they are wrong. Who cares? You have to decide that while you'll listen to what others have to say, you'll focus on what God wants and who He wants you to be. That is, after all, what's most important."

Easter Celebration at CWP!

Today was the Easter celebration at Mari's preschool. All the children were asked to bring in a a flower so they could make a cross out of the flowers. It turned out great!

Beer Buddies!

Xavier and his friend Quinn (aka "Bobo Brothers") were playing in the basement last night and I heard them start to get mad with each other. So I started down the steps and this is what I found....

Somehow they managed to open the laundry room door and got into Juan's beer stash in the basement refrigerator and decided they looked better in the Dora kitchen. As you can see from the picture below they had been very busy!!

He is ready for the Mexican Soccer League

I went to the consignment store yesterday and look at what I found (Juan is in heaven)! It is a little small for Xavier but when he put the outfit on he fell in love with it and didn't want to take it off.
