It was a busy Easter weekend around here last weekend, so I took the week off. Today I’m back to sharing some photos of the small moments of greatness happening around here lately.
First…we colored some lovely Easter eggs…
Then…we made this amazing bunny cake. My family made a bunny cake every year when I was a child, and I love passing down this tradition to my kids.
Despite the cooler weather, which I actually really enjoy, we’ve spent a lot of time enjoying the sunny afternoons. Liam created his very own carwash earlier this week…
Liam is growing. A lot. And sometimes it’s hard to grow. So we’ve been sticking close together and holding each other tight when the going gets tough…
I’m not sure who put the idea into Liam’s head (her name most likely begins with an R), but Liam recently expressed a concern that he might have to outgrow his beloved lovey, Giraffie, because he’s 3 1/2. I introduced him to my lovey, Curious George, to provide some much-needed reassurance. Giraffie will always be a member of our family…
And my little big girl had an amazing week off from school. She was happy, healthy, and pretty much all smiles every day for the first time in weeks. Proving, yet again, that she is the happiest when she is free to just be creative and free. Last night, she made this beautiful “fancy” hat, which is now being called an “Easter Bonnet”. Love isn’t a big enough word…
Friday Funny: The cute story of the week from a member of the Practical Parenting Facebook Community goes to Emily: When I told Zach I had to take our dog Rowan to the vet, he asked: “is she broken?” I love toddlers! Be sure to head over and join the conversation on Facebook. I seem to be spending more time there lately…
What small moments made YOU happy this week?
I mostly took last week off too. Sometimes it’s needed. It looks like you had a very happy week.

No, love isn’t a big enough word, is it?
Lovely, Katie.

My mom used to make me bunny cakes for my birthday because my birthday was close to Easter several times when growing up. Love the cake and your daughter’s hat!! Sounds like you all had a good break.
Great sample! That is elactxy what I was looking for to improve the graphics of my 2d game. But the (bad) performance still remains a serious problem for me. In my game, the (scrolling)levels are much bigger as the one in the sample. Furthermore i also would like to add some more lights. I tried this within the sample and the result was like a slideshow I experienced that the most performance loss comes while drawing the shadowvertices (last lines of the DrawShadows method). Maybe merging all convexhulls shadows to one single buffer could help here. Also precalc the shadowvertices on specific events (eg. on new light, on new convexhull, on lightposition change, on convexhullposition change, on scaling light range ) instead of doing this each frame. Therefor an illumination manager class, which holds shadowvertices and manages all convexhulls and lightsources, could be helpfull. Just my thoughts. Any further ideas?
Hi there! This is my first comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and tell you I genuinely enjoy reading your posts. Can you suggest any other blogs/websites/forums that cover the same subjects? Thanks a ton!
