EASTER

The Easter Bunny came early to us this year :) I guess he decided we might not have time to celebrate come Sunday. So, he brought us a dominoes game, a football, and a brand new printer that he got for an amazing deal ($200 printer that only cost $50). The new snazzy printer does all sorts of neat things, including CD printing, picture printing, printing from memory cards, and wireless printing. It is really really impressive.

We are trying hard to do FHE every week. We started this three weeks ago, and so far we are 3 for 3. Tonight, we dyed easter eggs, read President Holland's easter talk from 2009, and played with our new dominoes. It was a lot of fun... Here are some pictures from our dying experience :)



Andre's little brother Atrayu who is serving a mission in Japan gave sent this cross home to him. Apparently there was a guy there who was talking to Atrayu and their conversation went like this:
Guy: Do you have any brothers?
Atrayu: Yes, I have a lot of them.
Guy: What are their names?
Atrayu: Well, there is Anthony, Andre, Arr..
Guy: You have a brother named Andre???
Atrayu:.. Yes...
Guy: Here, give this to him. He should have it.
And the guy handed Atrayu the cross and a pin with the virgin Mary on it. So, of course, Andre is wearing the necklace every chance he gets...
Of course, it had to end with a science experiment :)

So, I am STILL pregnant. My due date is on Wednesday. The other day I thought I was really close to having him, I'd been having contractions every three minutes for about a week and a half. It turns out though that I was just really dehydrated. Ive been downing water like its going out of style and the contractions have mostly stopped. Kind of a bummer, but the contractions weren't doing anything anyway. I'd rather NOT have contractions then have contractions that were ineffective.

Thats my update for now :)
