Happy Easter from The Medrano Family! We hope everyone had a great Easter! On Saturday we colored Easter eggs with Grandma Merrill. It was the first year Emily was really able to enjoy it and it was fun seeing her face light up with the changing color of every egg. Then Sunday morning we got up and went to church. The kids had fun in Sunday School, Emily made a cross and learned Easter is about Jesus rising from the dead, or as she would say it... "Jesus arose" After church, we went over to Papa Page's and Grandma Lori's house. Emily had fun hiding Easter eggs and getting any adult she could to find them with her. She also had fun putting the crown and jewelry the Easter bunny brought her on Papa. In fact, I think I have a picture! 
....................................................................>I loved watching Emily this Easter! It makes me wonder what this Christmas has in store for her. She now knows if she is good the Easter Bunny brings her candy, oh and a movie to share with her sister. He brought her Alice in Wonderland this year. We watched it as soon as she was done looking at her Easter basket! It was nice spending time with all the family and we can't wait for the next holiday to spend together.
On a side note: (Deployment Update)
As many of you know, Joe is deploying at the end of the year. I can't give many details due to OPSEC. That basically means, they don't want it all out on the internet. They need to keep our men and women in the armed forces as protected as they can. He started training for his deployment today. I took some pictures of us getting all his gear ready last night... so for the next 5 days he'll be in the field. Send him as many prayers as you can! 
We love you all and appreciate your support!
