Easter and More

Hello all and happy Easter! Yesterday we decided to have an Easter Egg Hunt for Nora in the grassy area behind our apartment. What surprised me the most was that she was excited to look for them even before she knew they contained candy. 










This is Nora tasting a starburst for the first time.


And this is Nora after she decided starbursts were good, and was settling into a sugar coma.


Also, earlier this month, our friends who also happen to live in our complex, stopped by and left a message. This was the view from our balcony.




At least five times a day I hear Nora say something like: "Clara's house?" We're so lucky to have friends so close by. Thanks Sponsellers!

John became the new work center supervisor for his division and has been working some pretty long hours. I think it's definitely stressful but it seems like every week he is more comfortable. He also built a quadrotor in his spare time and has been having a good time programming and flying it. Nora loves going down to mission bay park and watching all the other rc planes and helicopters fly around with daddy.

Not much else going on. We have been "beaching" and hiking and enjoying perfect San Diego weather.

Nora has been talking a lot more. But now that she knows how to express her desires, it is a constant power struggle. She will ask to go swimming, or to the beach, see friends, go for a walk, to the park, etc. sometimes all in the same day and there can be some serious tantrums when she doesn't get her way. Advice please? 

But Easter was fun and we were lucky to spend the entire Easter weekend as a family. I hope you guys had a good Easter too!
