Easter

There's always something new with the Fifes! Morgan began his Internal Medicine rotation in Baltimore, MD on April 5th. He will be there until the end of June while the kids and I stay in Georgia. After this rotation he promises that he won't have to leave again and that he can finish the remaining rotations in Atlanta. Cross your fingers!

So since my parents live half way between MD and GA, we decided to meet there as often as we can. We drove up to NC to spend Easter with the Lewis family and then sent Morgan on his way Sunday morning. Saturday we had a family Easter lunch and lots of fun with the kids.

The Easter Egg Hunt was a huge hit! Here they are patiently waiting for me to take the picture and let the hunt begin:

Each child had their own technique for hunting eggs. Miriam simply picked up any egg she saw. She never questioned what was inside.
Luke liked to shake the eggs and would try to determine if the egg had candy in it or not.
Kaitlyn liked to also just pick up any egg she saw lying on the ground.
Madison was a little more selective in her hunt. She stayed in one particular area of the lawn and collected those eggs. Luckily for her, it was the section that had all the money eggs. Great job Madison!

Miriam and Kaitlyn's technique required them both to have 2 baskets to hold all their goodies! Luke found the prize egg and Madison scored the most money. A win for everyone!

After the hunt, the fun inside began with opening the eggs and discovering the treasures inside. Eve had a great time playing with the eggs.

April, Jenn and Melanie (not pictured) added so much humor to the event. I love it when the girls get together!

Miriam and her bag of goodies! She was so proud of herself!

Here are the kids with their Easter baskets shortly before Morgan left for Baltimore.
