Easter fun

Easter was pretty low key this year...I was realizing yesterday that this was the 1st Easter in 7 years I've celebrated in the US. I really love Holy Week in El Salvador...everybody is on vacation, and I miss the beautiful rugs that they make in the streets. I had totally forgotten that families get together for Easter. Since we don't have family nearby (except for some of Elvis's cousins in LA), and Elvis had to work yesterday morning, we didn't have any plans. Suzy and I caught a ride to our church, which was so good. Then we went to the park for a bit once Elvis got home, and we were just so happy to see Suzy being her silly self again (with just a few moments of tiredness).


On Saturday we went to an egg hunt on campus, but we got there too late and it was all over already. Sounds like it was like letting loose the bulls in the china shop, so I'm OK with missing it. They did give Suzy a couple of eggs that were left over, so we hid them for her. She looks pretty into it in the pictures, but the truth was she would go get one, then want to lie down for 10 min, then go get another one.

Saturday night, Elvis made us a special treat....Salvadoran torrejas. It's basically french toast made with egg bread (which we luckily got from Trader Joe's donations last week!), then soaked overnight in an amazing sauce made of unrefined sugar cane molasses and milk. YUM. We ate about a dozen each i think (Suzy included!) And then we put the sauce over bananas. And then we drank the sauce by itself.

Overall Suzy is sleeping much better, and is in great spirits this morning. We hope to get lab results today and have this mess all cleared up.

Trying jelly beans for the 1st time

torrejas!
