What a great Easter!

We had a lovely Easter weekend. We went to John's parent's for dinner on Sunday, along with John's Oma and Opa who were visiting from Chateauguay. It was a really nice day! The kids had an outside Easter egg hunt and got way too much candy. We had a great dinner and everyone was very well behaved. It was nice to have a relaxed family day for once.

I even tried my hand at an edible arrangement - I think it turned out pretty well!

What's New?

Tons!! We have been so busy here lately! Now that we know 100% for sure that we are not moving, we are settling into plans for our future here. Which is great. The kids are happy they don't have to move, I am happy I can go to school here and John is happy that we at least have a game plan. Our first order of business is to pay off the consumer debt we have. Fortunately, it is not an astronomical amount, so it shouldn't take too long. We recently started a new cash only budget and it is working really, really well. If anyone is interested, here is the plan we are following - http://www.gailvazoxlade.com/ She has some really great ideas and a fabulous interactive budget planner.

The kids also started back in swimming lessons last week. They are having lots of fun and can't wait for soccer to start next month!!
