The Kleins: Happy Easter!

Hello! We hope everyone had a fantastic Easter. Seth and I took the babies to our friends' house for an Easter BBQ. Our friends have 16 month old twin daughters, so our babies had so much fun playing with their toys and exploring their backyard. There was even a mini Easter egg hunt in the backyard but the babies didn't quite get the concept of finding eggs, picking them up, and putting them in their Easter baskets. It was still so cute to see all these little toddlers walking around everywhere with their Easter baskets in their cute outfits. I made mini Easter baskets for the babies with sand buckets, pinwheels and plastic eggs with goldfish crackers inside of them. We tried our best to get a few pictures of the occasion, but Seth and I had a hard time keeping up with our little munchkins. They were either trying to eat rocks, playing with the knobs on the grill, or picking up food off the ground, so between the two of us and the three of them, we could hardly take our eyes off of them and enjoy the party. However, it was so nice getting out of the house and spending time with our dear friends.

A couple of weeks ago Isaac came to visit us and we had such a wonderful time. He stayed with us for one week during his spring break. He was such a big help with the babies. He helped us feed them, take them for walks, and big brother Isaac even read books to them...so sweet! On one of the days, Isaac and I took the babies a walk to a nearby Starbucks. Well, just as we were almost home, Mischa started fussing in the stroller so I gave her my wallet to play with (I know what you all are thinking...BAD idea)! When we got home, guess what was missing from the stroller....my wallet! Yes, she threw it out of the stroller and neither Isaac or I noticed. Poor Isaac went searching for my wallet for over an hour and couldn't find it anywhere. Fortunately, I was able to cancel my credit cards but I was so bummed to have lost my wallet. Well, about a week later, someone turned it in to the library near our house and I got everything back. What a relief! No more wallets for Miss Mischa!

Another funny story that happened involving Mischa was when we spent a week in San Francisco visiting family while Isaac was visiting. We stayed in a hotel suite for the week which had a kitchenette. Well, Grandpa Armin had given an envelope to Isaac which contained a monetary gift. Isaac set the envelope down on one of the end tables not realizing that one of the babies was going to grab it...and of course, Mischa took it upon herself to move and hide that envelope! The whole family searched the entire hotel room looking for the envelope. We knew it was somewhere in the room but we just didn't know where. The suite we stayed in had two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and two bathrooms, so there was no telling where the envelope was. Well, later that night when most of the family had gone home for the evening, I was cleaning up in the kitchen and happened to open the broiler door and there was the envelope, in the broiler! The funny thing is we all saw Mischa opening and closing the broiler drawer just like she does at home, but we didn't realize she put the envelope in there! Silly Mischa! :)

Despite the missing envelope incident, we had such a wonderful time in San Francisco hanging out with the family. We got to see Grandpa Armin, GG, Aunties Maia and Adina, and cousins Amelia and little Maia Claire...the newest addition to the Klein family. Wow, seeing 2 month old Maia Claire really reminded Seth and I how far we've come. Our three kiddos look like big kids compared to their sweet baby cousin. We stayed at our usual hotel right next door to Seth's work which worked out great. We had so much fun visiting Seth's coworkers and eating lunch with everyone. One of the days we spent at Pier 39 with Isaac and the babies which was crazy busy but also a lot of fun. We even got to spend the day with GG celebrating her birthday with most of the family. We did miss seeing Auntie Arielle and cousin Kaeden but maybe next time. Overall, we had a wonderful trip!

Well, here are lots of pictures from Isaac's visit, San Francisco, Easter and the past couple of weeks. Hope you enjoy!
