Easter

Today was Jammy's first Easter, and much fun was had by all. Benjamin was very dapper in khakis, a plaid dress shirt, and a white sweater vest. I wanted him to have a wooden tennis racket too, or maybe play some croquet. It was that kind of outfit. We had brunch at Matt and Cathy's, complete with blueberry cream cheese french toast casserole (um, can you say tasty?) and the afternoon at Pat and Lee's with a plethora of family, even more pastel candy, and a chocolate birthday cake (30 is looming, in just 7 days. Yikes!) Sadly there is no traditional bunny ears photo of the young laddy's first Easter. Someone (not naming any names, but it rhymes with "plant wookie"), forgot them at home. However, its not like there aren't 7,000 other pictures of him, so I'm sure he will survive. We did get several other nice family photos, of all the grandparents, and Great Grandma Louise.
It finally stopped raining and the sun came out, so to round out the afternoon, Maisy and I ran Greenlake (poor neglected dogger so needs the exercise), which actually went really well. And, in a supreme fitness triumph, I managed one

complete sit up! I know that seems super lame and wimpy, but it turns out that 9 months of no stomach muscles at all takes a terrible toll on your abs. Who knew? All I have been able to manage thus far have been crunches. Anyway, it felt like a major accomplishment to me, as did the running. There may be some hope for Bloomsday after all.
