Easter 2009

This year we spent Easter with Grandma & Grandpa Drisko. We got up and went to Church and then to the Serrano Easter Egg Hunt. It was so cute to see all of the kids in their darling Easter Clothes.

I made a fruit tart for breakfast and it turned out pretty so I took a picture of it. I am such a nerd.






Serrano has a rule, that there are no easter baskets allowed and that each child only gets 12 eggs. So the cute Cammo basket the Easter bunny brought had to stay at home. Instead everyone had to use an empy Egg Carton.









It was a little bit chilly but over all it was a beautiful day. Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Jill and the 3 of us all went together. It was Griffin's first Easter egg hunt and at first he just loved looking at the eggs and at the other kids. But with some encouragment from mommy & daddy, he decided to dive in and once he did he had a blast.







That night I made dinner. We had Duck A'L Orange, wild rice, fresh rolls, Asparagus and spinach, pear and candied waknut salad. It was yummy and something different thanhaving the traditional ham...which we had the week before. ooops! It was my favorite Easter so far.

We're PREGNANT!

After 16 months of trying we are pregnant with number 2. We are so excited and feel very blessed. I am 8 weeks and due 11-27-09

Back in CA

So, we are back in CA...for a few months. In the time that we are here, Steve is getting his EMT and we plan to go back home at the end of June. The oil rigs are supposed to start re-hiring in July and with an EMT he will be a bigger asset to the dangerous oil rig (for you Idol watchers, you now know what a rough neck is and that it's the 5th most dangerous job on earth). If the rigs do not start hiring again, he will enroll in the Fire Academy for the Fall semester. I am pleased with either of these options, but kind of hope that he decides to go the Firefighter rout. Either way, at least we have a plan. In the mean time, we are just enjoying our son and the warm weather. We really like the church here and have loved spending time with the Skarda/Drisko sides of the family. I joined a bunco team and that has been lots of fun. Here are some recent pics.
