Jasmine has been very excited for the last several weeks. But today finally arrived… her first gymnastic class. She seemed quite the natural. They did warm ups, stretches, splits, tumbles, hand stands, bars and balance beam.

Easter Treats
Hurray for Easter treats of chocolate, jelly beans, and more chocolate. Jasmine got us up at 6:05 am saying she was so excited to search for Easter eggs. We headed downstairs, and after a gleeful shout about the baskets, she began a hard target search in our living room for those egss. We’re pretty sure she found all of them, but you never can tell. I just made a trip to the fridge and saw an unclaimed egg on the second shelf.
Sister Selena
While we were down in Southern Oregon, we drove to Jasmine’s sister Selena’s home for a big Saturday playdate. First off, we took her out to lunch at her favorite restaurant that had huge portions as you can see by the photo of the chocolate cake dessert. We then visited three local playgrounds for some hearty playing. And Selena gave us a detailed tour of her school. It was a wonderful sunny day and we had a lot of fun. And yes, Emily and I both tried out the jump rope which greatly amused the girls.
Foster Family Visit
To finish out spring break we drove to Southern Oregon to visit Jasmine’s foster family. Jasmine had a blast seeing everyone and playing with Jaiden and Devon. And we enjoyed catching up with Kristi, Ron and Jasmine’s caseworker Kammie.
Jasmine was especially excited about this trip because it was a sleepover event. She was a bit nervous the first night so we stayed until she feel asleep. But the second night she was good to go. And we got to sleep in at our hotel, we’ll at least until 8am when we got hungry for breakfast, since the hotel breakfast is quite good.
Easter Wreaths
Expert crafters Emily, Renee and Heather gathered to create Easter egg wreath creations. Jasmine also joined in between playing with barbies, legos and other frivolity. Emily made her famous vegetarian chili and there were chocolate cookies for dessert. All agreed it was a productive and fun craft party.
