Happy belated Easter. He is Risen!

The weekend was a full one and good.

Friday I worked hard and it paid off - no work had to be done yesterday.

Saturday we had a long day at Marmie and Pop’s house since the Cooties were in town. The morning was spent discussing our Disney trip. We got some things accomplished. Other things are still to be worked on, but we’re in good shape I think.

Then Uncle Bill came over and we had our Easter feast - the requisite lamb roast and accompaniments. There followed a lovely early birthday celebration for moi - I received a new crock pot, The Apologetics Study Bible, a great etagère for my jewelry display, and a gift card to Borders.

Clean up ensued and then we all trekked to church for Easter service. I think it was fantastic - they switched up things with the message pretty much at the beginning (it followed a great video and drama/recitation of Scripture). Then we worshiped in song and rejoicing as some folks were baptized. It was powerful to have a baptismal service on Easter weekend. I think this may be how we do Easter services in the future. Anyway it was really crowded for a Saturday night.

We headed straight home after a slight mishap with Jesse falling onto his forehead on the marble floor after the service. He’s fine, there’s not even a mark, but it was a bit scary for a minute since I didn’t see what happened, just the reaction of the folks around him who saw it. After such a long, loud day we all were exhausted and crashed to bed.

Yesterday Beau had his normal parking duties at church, so he headed over there just before 7:30am. A bit later, after feeding Jesse breakfast, we headed over to Marmie and Pop’s for a little more time with the Cooties before they hit the road for home. I ended up watching High School Musical with my niece and nephew. It was cute and I liked it better than I expected.

The afternoon was lazy, with a nice long nap. I woke up long enough to see Davidson beat Georgetown, which was fun. Then Beau and I watched the latest installment of John Adams on HBO before going to sleep.

Today is a less busy work day than I had expected, but it will still be a long one. So it’s time to get back to work.

   It was great fun ~ exhausting (I took a 4-hr. nap!!) but fun.  Thanks for all you contributed ~ delish corn pudding and rolls.
