Easter with Cousin Calla

Serendipitously, Avery has a 4th cousin named Calla, who lives near us. She is the one on the far left. We went to her house today for brunch and an egg hunt. Here are the kids after the hunt with baskets full of eggs.



They kind of look like 4th cousins, don't they?


They sweetly found eggs for each other. 




And Avery got a huge tip from Calla's uncle, Steve, about where eggs were plentiful and unguarded. 


Lucky boy!


A small flashback 2 weeks to the garden. Here are some updates on our spring planting.


In the sunniest quadrant of the garden, we have planted corn. We are preparing for The Three Sisters planting method: corn as the center stalk, pole beans growing up the corn, and squash around the base, providing shade for the soil. We'll plant the beans and squash after the corn has sprouted. Did you know The Three Sisters planting method is featured on the reverse of the 2009 US Sacagawea Native American dollar coin?

I learned something new about American money and I love the side view of Avery in his Easter duds--totally hipster look and a nice belly. Love you guys!
