It has been a long and exciting week.. still a sick momma, but the hot toddies helped ( Thanks Jacci) We ended up going to Aran's best friend Matt and family for Easter. Their dog died and Aran helped Matt spread the ashes over a beautiful meadow nearby their house. It happened to be Easter weekend so we stayed to celebrate. It is fun following someone else's traditions of Easter. Thanks Dare family , it was a very special time, reminiscing about Sandy and enjoying the magic of Easter through the eyes of the children. The kids hid Easter baskets and then the Easter bunny left a basket full of chocolate filled eggs that we had to hid outside for the kids. Lilja was so excited about this holiday.. The older she gets the more fun it is.. until one day.... not thinking about that day yet though and enjoying the magic.

| Lilja wanted to pretend to lead a massage class, She went with me last time and was very interested in it.. she has good form. |
 |
| Lilja got this leather jacket from Oma last year, which was way to big then.. now you can see how much she has grown.. She LOVES this jacket and it fits perfect. |
 |
| Swimming class again, this time solo.. that was a treat and Lilja did great. |
 |
| She was excited to leap from lillypad to lilypad, focusing on balance |
 |
| So much fun, relaxing in the water |
 |
| Learning to float on her back, in the shallow pool and then they float slowly deeper and deeper |
