We spent Easter Break in Michigan. Here a few moments that I managed to catch.<\/p>\n

\"Dinner<\/a>
Dinner out with Amy and Paul, followed by our first game of Dominion, which I (Grace) won. \ud83d\ude42<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Having<\/a>
Having some sister fun with the exercise balls–we probably violated some sort of protocol by dueling violently on top of them whilst being precariously balanced, even forming a dog pile at one point.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"We<\/a>

I think it has something to do with getting a better look at the hurt and the lost-ness of the world around me. But it made the 5 days so much sweeter. One of my favorite times was around the campfire, all of us in and out of harmony, singing into the barely spring evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
