Hello,

The steroids have worn off and we are having a great week.  We have had several days of sun and we have spent every possible sunny minute outside.  The girls have played on the swings, gone down the slides, dug in the gravel, pulled weeds, helped me search for thistles in the grass and we even had a picnic in the back yard.  It has been wonderful!  It definitely makes me miss sunny San Deigo.  I am so excited about our trip in two months.  Sharmi is excited too.  We drew pictures on her calendar today so that she has something to look forward to and so that she has some concept of time.

Health wise the three of us have been fighting off colds this week, but are feeling pretty good right now.  We are looking forward to decorating and hunting for Easter eggs this weekend.  I hope the sun still shines for us through the weekend.   

Happy Easter to all of you.

Cheris
