Easter Highlights

*Opening Easter baskets with our cousins
*The egg hunt
*Strawberry cheesecake pancakes
*Decorating egg shaped cupcakes
*Bubbles
*Lots of sunshine
*Very yummy ham


We had other plans as well, but they were thrown out the window and forgotten in light of the earthquake.  I'll admit I freaked out a little bit a lot, but in my defense, I have very vivid memories of the earthquake in Santa Cruz in '89.  I'm glad that Mike was here when that happened.  And I'm glad Jimmy and Amy were at home.  I don't know how I would have reacted had I been here alone with four children.  Now if the aftershocks would just stop so I can relax a bit.

You always have such beautiful photos on your blog. Looks like a fun Easter. Just remember that people are usually safe in modern buildings during earthquakes. I know it is scary, though.

I have never been in an earthquake, and while I admit to being mildly curious about the what it's like, I hope to never experience it. How terrifying! I'm glad to hear that you guys are okay.
