		<description><![CDATA[Happy spring everyone!  It may be spring, but that doesn't mean that snow season is over yet in Minnesota, as is evidenced in a number of pictures in the <a href="http://www.thevandermarks.com/index.php?q=gallery&#038;g2_itemId=20042">Mar-Apr 2008</a> album.  Debbie and the boys went out and played in the snow one day about a week and a half ago, but it melted quickly that day - the big snowman was in pieces by the time I came home from work.  The next day, they were out riding bikes in the beautiful weather.  Two days later on Good Friday, we had 8 inches of snow fall, plus 2 more the next day.  Days later, it's all gone again.  Ya gotta love Minnesota weather...

We had a lot of fun on Easter this year.  The Easter bunny left gifts for the little guys, Cole and Joe made a fantastic breakfast for us all, and we had fun playing with all sorts of eggs.  Two of my favorite new words were invented on this day: cup-ets and bunny beans.  "Cup-ets" was Alex's attempt to say buckets, which was what the Easter bunny left their goodies in.  He was so cute as he tried so hard to say it right.  "Bunny beans" are more commonly known as jelly beans,  but I think we'll be forever calling them bunny beans now thanks to both Zach and Alex.  Check out the pictures in the <a href="http://www.thevandermarks.com/index.php?q=gallery&#038;g2_itemId=20220">Easter 2008</a> album.]]></description>
