April 20

After a long (and rather excruciating) day of baseball at the Sports Park, we finally headed home in the late-afternoon hours and engaged in one of our annual traditions: Easter Egg dyeing.

Although the pomp and circumstance of the activity has lessened as the kids have gotten older and busier --and in fact, I'm not even sure we were going to do it at all this year until Isaac asked about it after his game-- I still have fond memories of all of our kids taking part. So I'm glad we were able to make it happen again this year, because it's always a blessing to remember those distinct mental snapshots of days gone by.
