He is Risen!



The Bunny Came!

The kids scoping out their gifts

Katherine got a new outfit for Bitty Baby

Luke needed some help getting his bike helmet on

Sibling love?!?!
Katherine was not a happy camper last night.  She woke up around midnight and would not go back to sleep.  This has not happened since she was tiny.  Paul went to her first, but then I ended up staying up with her for almost 2 hours. She did not want to get in her bed or rock.  I walked around the house with her.  It brought back memories of the newborn days.  We finally laid down in Luke's bed and she went to sleep.  So, it was after 7 this morning before we got up!  We were running late.  The kids looked at their bunny stuff.  Luke got a bike helmet, a baseball, glove, Lego firetruck set and a few other things.  Katherine got some books, an outift for bitty baby, sunglasses and some Hello Kitty sippy cups.  We quickly got ready for church after we ate.  The 830 service was packed!  I was not expecting that big of a crowd at the early service.  The message was wonderful!  We really do enjoy Bruce.  He always offers messages from a perspective I have never heard before. 

Paul and I taught our Sunday School class.  We went from having 2 kids to 13 in less than 5 minutes.  It was kind of hectic, but overall the kids did well.  After church we met Nonna at Cracker Barrel.  I was really wanting a traditional Easter meal and we figured that was as good a place as any.  Luke went home with Nonna while the three of us went home for naps before going to Nonna's to finish the last minute packing!

While we were home Paul piddled outside -- washed the cars, sprayed the weeds, etc.  Somehow he aggravated his back injury.  We went on to Mom's but he was in severe pain.  He basically laid in the floor and could not do anything.  Our evening of packing was cut short.  He still had a prescription for an anti-inflammatory nasal spray the doctor gave him a few weeks ago.  We ran home to get it and called around to find a pharmacy that was open and had the med in stock. It is a new med on the market and it isn't available everywhere.  We ended up at the Walgreen's on Charlotte Pike and White Bridge.  Paul was in agonizing pain on the way down there.  It was 7 o'clock by this time and we had not had supper.  We grabbed a bite while we waited on the script to be done.  There is no way Paul will be able to work tomorrow.  He can hardly walk.  He took a dose as soon as we got it.  I am hoping it provides some instant relief.
