My sister Tricia always prepares a delicious feast for Easter, and this year was no exception. It's becoming a family tradition. Carol and I and the girls usually attend, plus my sister Elizabeth and Tricia's friend Caroline and her mother Eva.
Last time we visited Audrey informed Tricia, "You know, you can buy eggs that open up and you can put candy and treats inside of them." So in addition to the great food, Tricia and Elizabeth hid a bunch of eggs for the girls. It was cold and rainy outside so the egg hunt was indoors. Audrey and Charlotte had a blast.
We're having backwards weather this year. In February we had two weeks of relatively warm weather and no rain. Everybody in Seattle got spoiled. Now for the past week or two it's been close to or below freezing at night and mid-40s during the day. On Friday afternoon it snowed pretty hard at the house for an hour or so. Enough that the girls were able to go out and make snowballs and catch snowflakes on their tongues. By the time I rode home it was all gone.
Carol has been going to physical therapy for two weeks now for her neck and back and this week she started to see results. Today I could tell by looking at her that she was feeling better. Her body just looks more relaxed. She's been living with pain for quite a while now; I'm glad she's seeing improvement.
This afternoon Audrey and I worked on a little project together. We made some stop motion animations. Here's the best one we made:
Making the animation entailed two jobs: one person moving the train a little between each frame and the other clicking the button. We switched off and Audrey did a great job at both tasks. She was amazingly patient. We'll make some more sometime soon.
