Easter 2008

Hello Friends and Family!
It has come to my attention that you're a little peeved that I haven't kept an updated blog for all of you to view. For this I am truly sorry. So here is the latest news on the goings of the Cole clan in Wisconsin.
First off, we have had a wonderful, pleasant Easter. The kids woke up to a fun easter egg hunt and breakfast. They were thrilled at the candy and little craft left for them by the Easter Bunny. Then we were off to get our Easter dresses on and prep for a nice Sacrament program put on at our church. I was singing in the choir, and I really enjoyed it. I think that Easter is one of the best times for me to feel the love of the Savior. And my heart was full. I was also feeling sad for all the upcoming changes in our ward. Several dear friends will be moving away this summer, that I will sorely miss when they leave including Emily, Monica, and Erin, Amber, Elizabeth, who are all very sweet, talented, beautiful, charming, funny, etc. So I was kind of feeling very sad this past Sunday. And also very grateful for the friends who are sticking around for another year or two: Martha, Laura, Leslie, Sarah, Trina (even though I have hardly seen you this past year), Maria, Linda, Shelli, Teneal. You girls are GREAT!
We ate a dinner of fish and veggies, and toasted to the family which went like this: "Let us all get along. Cheers!" And then we Skyped my parents and had a visit from our very dedicated Hometeachers, the Woolfs. It was fun talking to them about Australia and their training here in WI. We're excited that their staying! And we're excited about Spring! We can't wait for our tulips to start blooming!
Devon is finishing up a rotation in Menomonee Falls, and will begin another surgical rotation closer to home, which will be nice!
I have been cleaning a couple of LDS church buildings once a week and watching the cutest little boy, Isaac V. who my kids loveably call "our little brother". He is a real cutie and very good. Here is a photo of him eating his snack in our kitchen. He likes to be nearby, no matter what.
Andrew and Grace just turned 5 years old. They had a small birthday party on the 17th and invited two of their friends. They were a bit overwhelmed by it all, but they told me it was the best day of their lives, so that is good news.
Lynn and LuAnn come home from Australia in only a week! I can't believe how time flies! I will have to get those photos from Australia posted for you all to see. They are amazing!
Okay so that is all for now. I hope to write more soon. Take care, Sonia XXOO
