Easter Baby

Owen completed an Easter egg hunt (at 7 AM) in our living room today. Once I demonstrated the task, he did very well, walking around the living room gathering eggs and placing them into the basket. Although occasionally he'd want to stop and take the eggs out, examine them, open them, and potentially eat the contents. (The eggs contained Cheerios. Woo hoo!)

It occurred to me today that Owen's birthday may someday fall on Easter (thanks to Amelia, whose 1st birthday is today! Happy birthday to Amelia!). I decided to look into it. Turns out that Easter falls on April 4th 8 times between 1875 and 2124. Including the year 2010, 2021, 2083 and 2094; Owen's 3rd, 14th, 76th, and 87th birthdays. Easter is not a big holiday for us, so it shouldn't be a big deal at all. In fact, we had to think really hard about what we did last Easter... then we remembered we had a 4-day old baby and we took him to the doctor for jaundice!

Hope everyone had a great Easter, even if you didn't get plastic eggs filled with Cheerios!
