As we are finding out, living away from home is a wonderful experience. So many new things to do and enjoy. With all of the new comes a certain amount of missing home so when the neighbors throw a little egg hunt your way you just don't say no. Easter was really down played during our years in Qatar so it was nice to have it back in the open- in fact we just had the week off from school - yo queiro semana santa! Shayne and Diane live downstairs and I can't thank them enough for putting on an eggsellent day- thanks you two.
I'm just glad we don't live in a compound with electric fencing! Enjoy the photos

After the kids had the stage it was time for some adults. What follows next just might be one of the greatest collections of sporting photography the world has ever seen. If you enjoy the drama, intensity, and passion of the olympics then be warned- this might make you tear up a smidge.
