Harnisch Family Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday started off with a visit from the Easter Bunny.  Kenzie was thrilled to learn that he filled her basket full of candy and hid it for her to find!  I do believe that the Easter Bunny may have "re-gifted" some of the items from a previous hunt...the nerve!  :-)

Joe couldn't resist

haha - sorry Macy.  Believe it or not, it was your Daddy's idea!

All the Harnisches came to church with us on Easter Sunday.  Afterwords we gathered at our house for some eatin' and easter egg huntin'.  What a gorgeous day it turned out to be.  Thank you mother nature, it was the least you could do...

 Jessica, Bethany, Shelly, me and Autumn

We had to do it...Jess is due in Mid May and Bethany is due in August.  She's having twins!!  :-)  We are all so excited to meet all 3 of these beautiful angels...not sure if they are boys or girls, but we don't care...we will love them all just the same!

Uncle Gordy

And Aunt Shelly giving Macy a little lovin'

Let the hunt begin!

okay kiddos, let's get a group shot! say cheese  :-)

not bad.  not bad.  They sat still for a while 19 seconds...what more could you ask for?

Sam & Grandpa swingin' on the porch

McKenzie sure does love her Uncle Ja.  She thinks he's pretty cool.

peek a boo     You can't see her, but Macy is hiding with Grandma behind her blankie

doggie pile!  It doesn't really get old.

Sam is waaay tooo sweet! 

umm.  excuse me.  daddy.  You are too big

My turn!

McKenzie loves her princess bike (Thanks Joy & Sarah)!  She has yet to figure those pedals out though.

What a nice day to just sit and hang out in the driveway!  Lovin' life today  :-)

Autumn helped us sidewalk chalk a hopscotch board.

Uncle Tod, cousin Sam & Uncle Ja

Not quite sure who is having more fun here, Joe or Kenzie?  Pretty sure it's Joe! 

I know that McKenzie was having fun, but at this point she was beat.  Pure exhaustion has set in, two days of NO NAPS in a row has started to catch up with her.  Everyone took off around 4:30 and she was in bed 4 minutes later. out.  for the NIGHT!  Holidays are rough on the little ones!  It is 10:30 right now and I do not think we will be seeing her bright shiny face until tomorrow morning. 

Speaking of tomorrow morning.  Macy has a bright and early appointment with a Boys Town E.N.T. doctor (please keep her in your thoughts and prayers ~ that all is well and that we have nothing to worry about in regards to her narrow, floppy air ways, or trachaelmalachia.  We are optimistic that the doc will simply confirm that all is okay...at least for now.  She also have an appointment in a few weeks at Children's Hospital to have a sleep study done.  more details to come later...again, we are simply hoping these tests will put our minds at ease.  She has still has a loud, intense squeeze noise/gasp sound that she makes when she is asleep or in rest mode.  The doc wants to be 100% certain that she does not stop breathing for any amount of time while sleeping.  She does not seem to be in any distress and does not show visible signs of not breathing...but better to be safe than sorry I always say.

Happy Easter to all & to all a good night!

As this fun-filled day comes to an end, let's not forget:

"In the bonds of Death he lay

Who for our offense was slain;

But the Lord is risen to--day,

Christ hath brought us life again,

Wherefore let us all rejoice,

Singing loud, with cheerful voice,

Hallelujah  

~ Martin Luther ~
