Kansas Easter

Hannah woke up on Easter with the sense that it was an important day, but sure about why or how. She came down our stairs with much anticipation.

 
As she looked through her basket she kept saying"that Easter bunny is so nice." My mom sent her some items and I gave them to Hannah in her basket. She also sent some books that I gave Hannah later in the day and told her were from her Grandma Aldred.

We went to church and nursery teachers talked about Easter so when she came home she wanted to read the Easter children's book I had. 



Then we had an egg hunt in our backyard. I ran around with her showing her how to hold her basket and pick up the eggs. She wanted to leave her basket in one place and keep running back to it. She had no problem however seeing eggs and grabbing them. 
The worst part of Easter was the post-hunt nap.

The Year-Long January

The joke is that January is the longest month of the year. I thought it went quickly. Classes started and winter cold set in. We went to the eye doctor and Hannah waited for the doctor so long, she grew a beard.  Ultimately she decided on glasses that would make her look like Supergirl. I think she really pulled it off. All month I was on pins and needles about the government shutdown trying to decide if it was safe to fly to a conference. Luckily for me, the poor TSA workers and federal folks were able to get back to work. However, the planes I took (4 in all) were mostly empty and I got a row to myself. There was also a polar vortex that didn't help air travel looks appealing. I got there late at night and the room they had left was a large hotel suite. I took it. My colleague Michael Dunn and I divided our presentation up. We both did well. I also found a few good folks from Kansas. Then, I left Indy. When I wasn't worki...

Bygone April

 We decorated for Easter in April. Low key, but cute. Hannah helped make some of them. She even did this painting of the eggs.   And the ceramic ornament in the little house. After Easter I went to Toronto for AERA.   After AERA Easter came. We went to the annual Easter egg hunt.  And colored our own eggs.  And went to church. At the end of the month, we visited my parents in Utah, traveling by plane. It was sunny one of the days and cloudy and rainy the rest, but the visit was nice.  And that was April.
