Will the Easter Bunny Beat the Stork?

We find ourselves on the Paschal vigil, and still no little man yet. Osk would love to have an Easter baby. Christina wouldn't mind, although she much rather he be later. For one, Osk is very fond of a particular name for an Easter baby that she is not enamored with in the least. We won't mention the name in case Osk is persuasive enough to change her mind.

The weather here has been wonderful. Yesterday was sunny and neared eighty degrees. We took advantage by doing some yard work- raking the leaves leftover from last fall. Christina discovered some volunteer rhubarb along our fence line. Hopefully the feral rabbits won't make the same discovery (although we are not sure that rabbits even like rhubarb). We also learned that our back fence has a grape vine growing up and down its length.

Osk took advantage of the weather with a run through the nearby park. Being close to this park is one of the best features of where we live. Not only does it boast a beautiful little lake and golf course, but a solarium and small zoo as well.

Christina continues to work at the pediatric intensive care unit at one of the local hospitals. She plans to do so right up until she delivers. Yes, she is one tough lady, but that may not surprise a lot of you reading this.

We wish you all joy in our resurrected Lord, Jesus Christ.
