Easter Fun!

With Tammer in Shanghai, Stavros and I are really missing him and are trying to keep busy. Easter is a day that really hits me spiritually. For good and bad, my brothers, sisters and I were sort of ”reborn” on Easter weekend in 1987 when we were put into foster care, so Easter is always heavy on my heart. If we were in the U.S. today, we would be celebrating with my siblings–having a big egg hunt for the kids down south, then enjoying a nice dinner with Tam’s parents. But, we’re in Brazil, so Stav and I are keeping busy doing other things! For something new, I thought Stav would love to do a Bunny Hunt–with just the two of us! I staged bunnies throughout the yard for Stav to find! The bunnies were adorable, double-sided printables I found online. Stav was absolutely thrilled and kept saying, “Rabbits! Where did they go?!” Sweet, sweet boy! He was all smiles, even with his silly bunny ears on his head!… I really wish my dad could have seen my son with his Easter basket in his hand just one time–I know it would have made him smile!

We were also invited to a nice Easter Brunch with friends! The food was delicious, the mimosas were fantastic, and the kids had the best time! If I eat another piece of Easter candy, I am sure to explode! Thanks Donna and Megan for including us! Here’s to spiritual resurrection.
