(1) This is basically the only picture we have of our family in our "Easter pretties". I was running late and feeling crabby Easter morning--Lent really wears me down. Why do we have to get up at the crack of dawn and eat breakfast together? Seriously. Chris did take a picture of me running ferociously toward the camera, but I'll spare you the image.
My parents came up for church and brought a ham to cook for dinner. My husband and father took a sauna in the afternoon. We all went to the park to play and came home to ham, roasted veggies and au gratin potatoes for dinner. Dessert was leftover Orange Butter (birthday) Cake with strawberries. It was a nice day...a really nice day.
(2) Jeannette and David came to visit this past week. We enjoyed their company. We drank lots of coffee and ate lots of good food.
(3) We played Scrabble on Thursday night. Jeannette and Dave won easily. It wasn't even close.
(3) I had a few homeschooling moms and many homeschooled children over on Friday afternoon. A good time was had by all. I should do that again soon.
(4) My sister talked me into running a race with her in September. I have been running again for 5 (6?) weeks now. Exercise is so good for me--why do I resist the treadmill so much? I have been feeling better emotionally and sleeping better as well. I got a new pair of shoes yesterday. My feet (and shins and knees) are rejoicing!
(5) Lily has turned a corner in reading. I AM SO PROUD OF HER! My heart gushes while reading her cryptic, phonetic handwritten messages and while listening as she reads picture books all by herself.
(6) Kyle and Grace's wedding is coming up quickly. I am in charge of the rehearsal dinner. It should be fun!

Are you guys doing the half marathon or the 5K? I don't know how you're finding the inspiration or time, but I think it's great that you're doing it.
The inspiration, of course, comes from her amazing husband.
I used to be a person who adored sunrise service.
Now I'm a person who aches for Easter Vigil and an Easter morning festival service at a proper, Godly hour instead.
I'm jealous of your running. I do so want to find some sort of exercise that doesn't cause me injury; running is completely off the table due to arch and ankle issues. :(
What?! No pictures of the kids in their fancy duds? Please remedy this immediately. Can they wear their pretties this Sunday and you get a pic? Oh, and one with you in your fab dress would be good too. :)
