On Friday we went with my moms’ group to Tanaka Farms in Irvine for their strawberry tour. This was k’s third time! It was the first time, however, that the kids could actually pick the berries and take them home in a basket. The previous two years there were not enough strawberries, so it was just “eat as many as you can while you are out in the field for 15 minutes”. (n hung out with my mom in the shade…it was pretty hot that day).

After a brief hesitation, k ate her fill of strawberries. She wasn’t too keen on the picking part, so I picked, and she ate. I tried to fill k’s basket to the brim, but a lot of them ended up bruising. I think I picked ones that were a little overripe, too (you know, the darker the berry, the sweeter the juice?)

In the future I would like to go apple or cherry picking–I’ve never done that before.

Today D sat out in front of our complex for about four hours selling some of our unwanted “stuff” for our community yard sale. His total haul? Just over $30. Not bad, since he also did a lot of his BSF, talked to the neighbors, helped our community and we were able to get rid of some of the things that were weighing us down. I’m glad that D is the type of person that I could send out to do this sort of thing. He then drove the leftovers to Goodwill.

k, the Bag Lady

k is becoming more affectionate with “baby Nini”. This is how she likes to hold him (by the look on his face, he doesn’t enjoy this too much). I can’t wait until they can become friends!

Yesterday we started out the day with an egg hunt for k in our family room. Even with all of the practice, k still wasn’t too sure about hunting for eggs with all of the other kids after service. She definitely is not agressive by nature. Before service our church had a breakfast and craft for the kids. After church, we went to my parents’ house for lunch. When we were done eating, the guys watched the rest of the Masters’ Tournament, and the rest of us (and n) just talked and played. It is so nice to have a relaxing afternoon like that.

Baby’s First Easter outfit from brother in law’s grandma. Check out the feet…too cute. And on the back, there is a little cottontail. I know we can’t get away with outfits like this for too long, so might as well do it when we can, right?

I’m glad k agreed to wear this hat some of the time this year. Last year was a no-go. I like the idea of a new dress for Easter. I remember having a new one every year, sometimes made by my mom. I bought this one for k during the after-Easter sales last year. I already have k’s dress for next year!
