Continuing on

Easter this year was April 7th. The night before Easter Sunday Franz Cyprian and I attended the Easter Vigil. Instead dressing Cyprian up I put him in his white and red stripe jailbird pj's that Great Grandma Korish made for him. At first he was to excited by the candles and fire started outside of church. He did not want to go to sleep, I was about to give up trying when shortly before communion he succombed. Mass was three hours long, which is a long time for little ones and their parents. I'm glad we went though, I have always loved the Easter vigil. It was after midnight when we got home. Franz and I tired as we were dyed easter eggs so that we would have them for Cyprian in the morning.

Next morning I put together a basket for Cyprian. It consisted of a felt basket with a frog on it. I filled it with a kalidiscope, little metal slinky, sidewalk chaulk, a bannana, baggy of organic animal crackers, colored egg with his name on it. Franz hid the basket and made a trail with colored eggs to the spot. Cyprian actually followed it and loved the whole deal:')

We then kept busy cleaning and preparing food for Easter lunch at the Lindleys. It was very enjoyable. The kids got to participate in a egg hunt which there were tons of eggs. Cyprian found several which I put in my bag. Later I discovered the kids had gone and found them in my bag and had eaten most of the candy... I wasn't to dissapointed, less sugar for my guy. It was nice to relax and visit with people, several whom we had not met before. All in all it was a beautiful day thanks to the Lindleys for hosting and providing a pleasant gathering.

Now to our house search. We looked at nine houses. Three were under contract shortly after looking at them and two of them we were interested in. Finally, on the nineth house we looked at, because I had liked the discription, we really liked the house and yard. The only reason Franz baulked at looking at it, was because it was a little higher priced then we were looking for. It is three bedroom two bathroom. It has hardwood floors, a hot tub and fish pond out back. There is also a shed that will house Franz's office and a room for tools. The backyard is fenced in, and it has some pretty landscaping. So long as everything goes well, we are going to be closing on the 10th of May. Thankfully we are taking advantage of the 8,000.00 dollar tax credit. I will be able to be more discriptive once we actually own the house. Its exciting to dream about what we are going to do though.
