Eggs and destinations...

Happy Easter everybody!

This has been quite the exciting week for our little family. On Thursday, the wait for Match Day was finally over. For anybody familiar with the process, you know that there was a lot of belly-aching and sleepless nights leading up to the date. Anyhow, we found out where we will be for the next three years as Jesse does his family medicine residency. And the winner is:



We are really excited to be going back to Utah and getting much closer to our families (with a little cushion still). His residency starts in mid-June so we will be moving shortly. It is a little bittersweet though because we have really loved Denver and the friends that we have met here.

This is at match day. It is a big fancy event with the media there and tension that you could cut through as all the students wait to find out where they will be headed off to.

Today we took Finn to his first egg hunt ever at the park across the street. It was absolutely bananas. There were 3000 eggs spread over an acre and once the hunt started, they were gone in 30 seconds (at most). Finn ended up with three eggs which we feel like was a huge success. His loot was a single Starburst, a mini Hershey's bar, and a mini Mr. Goodbar. Not bad at all. He mostly enjoyed being part of the scene there at the park with the rest of the little kiddies. We did a few minutes of training at home just before the hunt so he had a pretty good idea what to do. He also gets a little head start as seen in the video below. If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin':

This was taken before the hunt started. We thought about claiming this tree but then remembered that this is a favorite place to walk dogs and this tree has gallons of doggie pee on it. So, we headed for the open spaces instead.

Finn checking out the booty. His trick-or-treat basket doubles nicely as an Easter egg basket.

Trying to figure out where the chocolate went. It was in dad's tummy.

After the big hunt, we went home and colored some eggs of our own. We miss the annual event at Neil and Becky's. Half of these we made for our friends Mark, Jenny, Josh, and baby-girl (due Thursday). He matched into the surgery program at the University of Utah (wahoo!!) and today is her birthday.

This was cute until he started throwing them.
