The Hansens: April 2009

Well, the past few weeks have been quite busy. I worked a lot more than usual, my parents and Danny came in from California and Karli has been sick off and on. The first time she was sick it was some kind of stomach bug that only lasted a day. This time I think it is some kind of cold or flu. She has had a fever since Thursday night and still has a bit of one now but not as bad. I hate when she is sick, she looks so sad. Hopefully by tomorrow or tuesday she will be better. John is also sick today. He seems better than he did this morning but still not great. I think this crazy schedule of his is really taking a toll.

Our Easter was pretty fun. On the Saturday before we went to an Easter egg hunt that the HOA put on. It was fun. They had egg hunts for the different age groups, bounce houses, inflatable slides, free food and of course the Easter bunny. It started off a bit rainy but then turned into a pretty nice day. Karli had a blast. When the egg hunt first started she didn't really know what to do so she just stood there while everyone ran past her. Once she unfroze she ran past the bulk of the kids and got a ton of eggs. Then we took her to the slide and bounce house. She would have stayed there all day if we let her. We had her picture taken with the Easter bunny and then had her face painted. It was so fun to get out and do something together as a family. My parents showed up later that day and stayed until early this morning. On Sunday we had the dedication of the new church building at 7am. It was really nice to have been able to go. My parents were still at home sleeping since they had a long day of travel on Saturday so we were able to just let Karli stay and sleep too. Neither John or I had been to a building dedication before. It was such a great experience and really set the tone for a great Easter Sunday. The spirit was so strong. After church Amber, Eric and Carson came over for dinner and an egg hunt for the kiddos. Cheri, Tyson and Jake joined us later for some games. It was a lot of fun. I am truly grateful for the time that we have had with family this past week. It will be nice to have my parents and Danny out here come July. Well, enough of my rambling. Here are some pictures. Enjoy. :)
