The last few weeks in review ...

So much is going on these days I can hardly keep up. Here are some highlights:

We had fun visits from Scott's parents. Breck was here with a volunteer team from his church so he spent his days working with Disaster Recovery. But, in the evenings he's see the kids and one night we had the whole team over for dinner. He took us out to McDonald's one night which, as usual, was thrilling for the kids! Robbie came down for a few days before she taught a conference in Alabama. She had the kids out all over town and gave me a big break one afternoon. She got to come to one of Tyler's tee ball practices too.

Then my dad was here for a long weekend. We wore him out going all around town. We ate a great bbq place called "The Shed" and went to the Mule Pull in Vancleave, MS. Of course we also worked in a Chuck E Cheese trip.

Last week was Tyler's Spring Break which meant there was a lot of extra noise, motion and energy in the house. Other than the fact that I was completely exhausted by the end of it, we had a lot of fun. Scott set up a tent in the backyard and he, Eben and Tyler all slept out there one night.


Of course, we also spent a lot of time doing various Easter/Spring activities. Tyler and Eben participated in two egg hunts, we had a Maundy Thursday service, Good Friday service followed by a "Stations of the Cross" activity for the kids, Easter Sunday with church, then decorating eggs and having friends over for dinner. We didn't get any decent Easter pictures because a)we were never all together and b)Tate was asleep the whole time anyway. Never fear though, grandparents! We're going to take some faux-Easter pictures soon!
