Easter

The Easter bunny brought a giant egg this year...

... a surfboard and a couple of wet suits. This is a foam learning board for the kids. Grownups can't use it. So far lessons are going pretty well. To be continued...

Each year we make Greek Easter bread. It's an egg based bread that's braided. Then hard boiled eggs are tucked inside the braid before it's cooked.

Here is a photo our neighbor Isabelle took of Jasper a couple of years ago. We've known Isabelle since she was about 6, now she's all grown up and studying abroad in Prague.

Isabelle had this quote attached to the photo on her Flickr page.

"There is nothing easier than lopping off heads and nothing harder than developing ideas."
Fyodor Dostoevsky
