The Lord has risen! He has risen indeed!
This weekend with my family was such a blessing, as is any time I get to spend with them really. I got to start the weekend with my grandparents, uncle, cousins, brother, and mom, spending Friday night at a restaurant, celebrating my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary. What an amazing example they have set for us. They show that no matter what, with God, love, and patience you can go can work through anything and stay married. I hope I can only continue to live up to what they have shown through the years.
Saturday, I got to spend most of the day with my mother in law. We had a craft show that we sat at. It was a lot of fun! I love just being able to sit and talk with her. She is a pretty amazing women. Then I spent most of the afternoon with my kiddos. We went chicken and turkey shopping. We have raised chickens in the past. Last year we took a year off. That meant this year we needed to fill the yard with chicks again! We also added a few turkeys. It was lots of fun picking which chickens we wanted to get, along with the turkey's. There was visible difference in size between the turkey's which helps us tell them apart and remember their names: Myla, Fishing Pole, and Shiny. Yes, folks, that right. A turkey named Fishing Pole. That is my son for you! Oh the smiles he makes me smile. I then got to spend the evening helping my husband build the final coop. (the chicks are in the brooder right now).
Sunday was full on Easter. We did Easter baskets in the morning. Followed by wearing our pretty new outfits to church. Church was amazing. I love singing that Jesus has risen! The message fantastic. Then we did more egg hunting at my brothers house with all the siblings and cousins. Then off to the in-laws. No egg hunting there, but plenty of food and Easter presents for the kids. It was such a blessing to be with family all day. It was nice to be able to relax and just enjoy.
This week Butterfly Girl has another appointment at the specialist. We will see if they can tell us any more about what is going on with her delayed speech and some other behaviors we have seen. Be in prayer for this please.
Be Blessed,
Dany
