Alleluia, He has Risen!

A blessed and joyous Easter Octave to you and yours from the Meloche Clan in SWF. After Mass, the local Parish had an Easter egg-free-for-all (see attached pics). We were a bit surprised to witness Mila's competitive nature. She was in in "0-3" age grouping and was not at all intimidated by the size and maturity of some of the other kids. Mila was not even fazed by the 'intimidation tactics' of one of the larger kids (I think he should been in an older grouping - he was at least 5 feet tall, appeared to have forgotten to shave and kept repeating to Mila the phrase: 'you ain't nutt'in'). Even in the face of such opposition, Mila was a stand out. She waited for the appropriate signal to start and as soon as the flag was dropped she busted out and snagged up her first egg even before the other kids realized what was happening. Her first step was reminiscent of Ben Johnson in his world record jaunt - minus the yellow eyes! Once she had a leg on the other kids it was clear sailing. At times she was 'double fisting', that is, setting down her chicken basket and grabbing two eggs at one time, to utilize time and energy - her technique was poetic. Needless to say she filled up her little basket in record time and left utterly content. It was quite the display of raw athletic talent.
