Welcome Home Celebration
As in the previous post Erin and I wanted to take full advantage of the events surrounding the duke championship win. It was nice to see a team that no one ever gave a chance come together and play one of their best games of their lives followed by a real struggle that came down to the last second. These posts are about an inch away from not even existing.
Championship Celebration
Given that we now live in Durham and our own Blue Devils took home the championship, we had to take advantage of all the 'events' that were going to occur. And now that Singler is staying I hope we can blog pictures of the same event next year.

Easter Eggs and Chocolate Bunnies
Just got back from another great Easter weekend at the Layburns. As always, lots of Easter egg decorating and Easter egg hunts. On Saturday, the boys golfed while the rest of us girls (including Aunt Lisa, Emily and Michelle) and Craig went to a local high school to let Natalie participate in a community egg hunt. It was an absolutely insane event ... check out the crazy crowd that was gathered there!
I had gone on to the field ahead of the hunt to try and get some photos of the action. I got this one moments before being stormed by a swarm of little children who ran across the field and left nothing in their wake. Seriously, 4,000 plastic Easter eggs gone in about a minute and a half. It was NUTS. Pretty sure my life flashed in front of my eyes ;)
Natalie did her best but was outpaced by the older kids and only ended up with one egg. Here is the photo as Natalie realizes that the hunt was over and her basket was still pretty much empty! Uh-oh, tramatic Easter egg hunt memory solidified!
Fortunately, Easter egg hunt #2 was at Grandma and Grandpa's house so Natalie had a better shot at success! Lots of smiles as she was able to get take her time finding the eggs hidden around the background.
And what would Easter be without Easter egg decorating. A family activity (hey, why let the kid have all the fun!). I believe that Martha Stewart would be proud of the eggs that Brad and I made ;)
Finally, just some fun family shots. A couple to commemorate Kiera's belly (she's due in just a couple weeks!) and then some shots of Natalie who is almost 4!
