where we've been....

So I didn't even post for Easter because the kids have been home for the last 2.5 weeks from school, and Beau's parents so graciously came to help, visit, work their tails off! They did get one sight seeing trip though to Fountains Abbey. I think Grandpa Neal enjoyed reminiscing his old catholic days. What do you think?



As for the kids easter program at school...yet another cute religious production that makes me happy to be in a school where religion is rampant. They did a shadow puppet show. Ady got to hold a black laminated bread loaf on a long stick behind a white sheet with a flashlight behind it as the older kids told of the last supper. Kalysta got to read the part of Peter denying Christ written by the kids. I'll update if I find the actual part, but I just remember her saying the chicken will cock a doodle doo. They also learned a song - dance, dance, wherever you may be. I am the lord of the dance said he, and I'll lead you all in a dance said he. My girls just learned the chorus and the 7-11 year olds sang the verses. I'm not sure how I feel about the song as it is of Christ "dancing " through his different phases of life. I think we have a hymn though to the same tune. "tis a gift?" anyone know it?

These are the kids easter outfits thanks to both sets of Grandparents. Grandma and Grandpa Neal brought matching outfits like Gwen's for all the girls, and Grandma Thatcher sewed a dress for Gwen that coordinates with Kaly and Ady's that she sewed, it just took a bit more sugar for Gwen to snap out of her determination not to wear a dress to church.

And now that I've had a few days to do this all on my own again.... this is how I feel.

I could drop anywhere, any time, at any given moment. Oh well, onto Emberly's 2 month follow-up reflux appointment tomorrow, then immunizations Thursday. Wish me luck!
