Happy Easter!

Hello all! We miss you all so much today! This is our first major holiday without other family, but we've managed to make it a pretty good one. Yesterday we had a full-fledged Easter egg hunt (Davis style) complete with clues leading to a DVD at the end. Heather got shoes instead of a DVD...Heather style.

Here's all of our loot! We are now officially swimming in candy. God help us.



After our great egg hunts, we sat down and watched Ratatouille and went out to dinner. A fun start to a great weekend! This morning we went to church. As per usual at any church it was more than packed! We went to the early service to try to dodge some of the crowds. We got home a little before 10 and got to work on a great Easter dinner. On the menu: ham, scalloped potatoes, asparagus, and deviled eggs.

Here are a few highlights.





The final product...


Here's a picture of a re-created cartoon from one of Tim's professors.

"What? I can't hear you!"

Scratch THAT...GO COMMODORES!!!!

UPDATE!!! So most of you have heard the great news already. This morning I was on the phone with Vanderbilt and they offered me a very generous tuition scholarship package that we can't refuse! So this coming fall, Heather and I will be living in Nashville, TN and I will be a 1st year Au.D. student at Vanderbilt University! YAHOO!!! We are so thankful for the opportunities ahead of us and are really excited to explore a different part of the country.

Yes, we will be much farther from home, but we are hoping that this will be an enriching time for the two of us as we grow closer together through this huge transition. We will have opportunities to explore parts of the South and East coast that we may never have the chance to visit otherwise. Don't get me wrong...we will miss home like crazy! We may even doubt our decision from time to time. But we feel strongly that Vanderbilt is where we should go. And don't forget, we aren't moving for several months yet. We'll be making at least a few trips home in the mean time and we'll see many of you in June for my graduation.
We can't wait to get this quarter over with, get the move over with, and settle in to our new home and a new adventure!
So much more to come!!
