Easter Clothes


Easter was such a crazy day that I didn't get a chance to take pictures of the kids in their official Easter clothes. In the morning, I had to get my car towed to a tire shop. We had a blow-out on the way home from Shamu Rocks the night before.

I haven't even mentioned the huge earthquake (7.2) that happend after our afternoon picnic. We had dropped Steve off at his hotel and were back home napping/resting when it hit. I thought my mom was having problems with the door to the garage and was rattling it. I openned it to see that she wasn't in there and discovered that the entire garage was shaking. For a split second, I thought it was the wind (hurricane type), but realized quickly it was an earthquake. I started walking toward the living room and by then we were all coming out to see what was going on. Papa Malcolm had originally thought Lexi was being silly and banging into the back of the couch. One of the amazing things is that everything was still shaking. I swear it lasted about 5 - 10 minutes. It was the biggest/longest one I have ever experienced and it was the kids' first earthquake. Steve called almost immediately to check on us. This was also his first earquake experience. It woke him & Jordan up from their naps.

Anyway, Easter was quite a crazy day, so the pictures of the kids in their new clothes happened on Tuesday.
