Happy Easter! We had a great weekend with the kids starting Spring Break last Friday and incredible weather all weekend. The Easter Bunny came Saturday morning (we try to keep Easter Sunday "Christ centered") and three little kids anxiously waiting by our bed going "Mama! Papa! The Easter Bunny came! Why are you still asleep?!" and they were off. After the blur of the morning our Ward put on a breakfast and a egg hunt for the kids so we headed over there for more fun. So now we have loads more candy than any of us need but what a fun day it was! After baseball practice and naps Dee and the kids went fishing at the river. They didn't catch anything except a piece of driftwood that Dee claimed was a petrified fish, but it was nice to be out playing. (As you can see by the picture, the belly is getting big!)
Easter Sunday was wonderful. Church had lots of music, which is my favorite part. We just spent a nice family day together and were thankful for blessings abounding. I did have a bout of missing extended family, holidays seem to do that, but focused again on our little family and the blessings we have living here.
Last weekend Dee was called into the bishopbric. He is in shock but is excited about the new level of service he'll be able to provide. We are so blessed to have family that is so supportive, his parents drove out and his sister flew in from Salt Lake last minute to be here for him. Gordon, Kristi and the boys came up from Sac and Suzanne, Waf and the boys came up (again!) from the Bay area. It was so great to have them all here and I know he was blown away by the support they all showed.
This week is Spring Break for the kids which hopefully means we'll be able to do lots of playing, but I am to report for Jury Duty tomorrow which could put a big damper on the week. We'll have to see!
