*When Jack woke up the morning after the earthquake, he asked me if the house was going to jump again. It took me a minute to figure it out, but I finally did. When the earthquake woke him up from his nap, he thought the house was jumping. Then he looked out the window and asked if the other houses jumped too.
*As we were getting out of the car, Jack said we needed a new car because our car was gross. I asked what kind of car he wanted, and he looked around, and pointed a rusty old sedan. Then I said, really, that one, he laughed and said, no-that one, and pointed to a big, red truck.
*We have been really working on parking lot safety with Jack. We were in the parking lot of the grocery store, and Jack saw a van backing up in front of us. He yelled as loudly as he could, WATCH OUT, A VAN COMING!

Easter and an Earthquake.
What an exciting day. We woke up and had an amazing breakfast with eggs, sausage, pancakes and my favorite, chocolate croissants. Oh how I love chocolate croissants. They remind me of Paris. Oh how I love Paris. I digress. Today was great. Jack got an Easter basket, complete with one blow-up pool and a lot of chocolate. He was thrilled. Then, we had an Easter egg hunt. I can't believe how much Jack loved it. Everytime he found an egg, he jumped up and yelled, I found it, I found it. We ended up doing it twice, just so we could watch his excitement. It was one of those moments that having a two year old makes life amazing.
Then all of us took a nap. Can you believe it? ALL OF US! Then, the house started shaking like crazy. I was in a sleepy fog, and thought a big truck was driving by, but then it lasted too long, and the shaking was too strong. I grabbed Thomas, and ran into Jack's room to check on him. By the time we all reached each other, it was over. Luckily, we had no damage, and we are all okay. It was our first Earthquake here. We found out that some of the people here had things falling off the walls, and one family had some damage to a water pump with slight flooding of their garage, but as far as we know, nothing major.
What an exciting day. Happy Easter.
