Since the Southwest Trip and Easter 2015

Warning: post-surgery photo

After the trip, life returned to a normal, less compelling rhythm with daily walks, dinners and outings with family and friends, a birthday, a baptism, and SNAP. One life-altering event was a bit of surgery to remove Kris's bunion and a neuroma that had been bugging her for years.

Easter was nice: all the family (except for the Youngs and Hastings) gathered for a traditional Easter dinner of lamb with mint sauce and all the other accompaniments. Conner also joined us. I enjoyed the coconut cupcakes in Texas so much, that I decided to make a coconut cake. It was really delicious. After dinner, the kiddos had an egg hunt, so all in all, it was a fine evening.

Annie and I each had the scary-looking fish at El Mexal - 
it was delicious

Oh my, and aren't these mints delicious

Walking home from church, this beautiful spring scene
caught my eye

A rainy morning completely changed the mood of Rock Canyon

These two beautiful women showed up to help us dye eggs

This cake is heaven

Ollie with an egg in the bag, and several more to go

Meg also needed to find a few more

These guys knew where they were hidden

All finished

ETE and KBT enjoy the mild afternoon

This good woman with her little baby bump helped with the dishes

It is always good to have Conner around

That brings us up to date, so that's all for now.

OXO

Favorite things: rock canyon and Katy Kathryn's baby bump. In reverse order.

I want you to make me that coconut cake and the cabbage. And mint sauce. Lucy said the only fomo in life she has is Provo fomo. Looks like she should avoid this post.
