Happy Easter!

We had a really nice Easter celebration. We opened eggs at our house, and found graham crackers and marshmallows inside!  Opening the eggs was the best part of it. Then we went over to Grandma Evie's house and had a terrific Easter lunch with ham, potatoes, coleslaw, pie and more. Julian got an early birthday present from Grandma, this fun keyboard! He also got some books and a little Elmo doll. We had fun playing outside, it was such a nice day.

 Smith Playground reopened, and we had a great time there with Daniel and Sophie. They have about 5 different playgrounds for different ages and equipment. This was Julian's first time on the swings, I think it's going to be a favorite.

 The weather has been great this spring, and flowers and trees are in full bloom. Here we are at the Philadelphia Museum of Art next to "Rocky". There is a famous scene in the movie where Rocky runs up the art museum steps during training, and every day you will see people doing this and raising their hands above their heads like Rocky. As a side note, Louis Knecht did this twice last summer. The first time Louis' mom forgot to have the video camera running (I won't mention her name here :) ) so Louis had to do it a second time. Or...did she really forget???

We've been going on tons of walks now, and Michael likes to explore old crumbly buildings. 

I personally love the trees, and Julian loves the grass and dirt.
