Cousin Time

Last week my sister's family came up for Easter and part of Asher's spring break. It's always so great to spend time with them. In addition to celebrating the resurrection together, we went to the National Zoo, dyed and hunted eggs, and spent lots of time on the playground. Here are a few pics from Nana's front yard.

The "big" kids, Aylenne, Ari, Esme, Meg and Matthew:

And baby Judah, cutest little chunka in the world.

(Graham was napping and missed the outdoor fun, but here he is with Nana a little later. Just so he doesn't feel left out of the cousins post.)

The ornamental cherry tree in Mom and Dad's front yard was in pink glory. Uncle Asher made it rain blossoms for the kids...

(Doesn't Asher look the part of the English teacher with his beard? We all like it on him.)

The Spruills moved this summer and now live considerably closer to us than before, but after each visit, Meg always laments that they aren't closer still. Me too, actually. Family is good. We sure love ours!
