We hope everyone has enjoyed this beautiful Easter Sunday and holiday weekend. Jim came home late Thursday night to begin our weekend together.
On Friday we spent time working in the yard....mowing, weed eating, trimming, planting dogwood trees (seemed like the perfect day, on Good Friday!) and figuring out our sprinkler system for the yard.
Of course, we did have to take a break from all this work to go see Aubrey and Lainey! We put them in their swings for a while, then I hid Easter eggs while Krisha and Jim helped the girls find them.
We came home and Jim grilled some GREAT steaks! His best yet.
On Saturday morning we had planned for Dan, Krisha, and the girls to come for brunch, then we would go to the church Easter Egg Hunt. However, because of the rain, we decided to skip the egg hunt. So, after we ate brunch, we let Aubrey and Lainey open their Easter Baskets from Popa Jim and I. (Eli had opened his before the girls arrived, we didn't want him to get over excited, but he did anyway! As you can see below, he wanted to help them with their baskets too.)Also, Popa Jim painted the baskets for the girls!

Krisha and I enjoyed our time out alone, but both of us remarked that it just wasn't the same anymore without Aubrey and Lainey with us! We were only gone for about three hours, but we missed our girls!!!
After returning home, we all ate again, then took the girls in the stroller to the park and enjoyed our time together. As always, it was difficult for Jim when it was time for them to leave. He hates saying goodbye to them. He adores those little girls!!!
This morning, our Sunday School class enjoyed a delicious breakfast together. We had a wonderful praise/worship service and a great message from Bro. Dan, as always. Danyell joined us for worship service.
After church, Jim and I went to Wayne and Anita's for Easter lunch with them and William's family. WONDERFUL FOOD! (My sister got all the great cooking abilities! She had a huge meal prepared).
Sad to say, after lunch Jim had to hit the road again back to Texas. Eli and I started missing him before he got out of the driveway. But, we are already looking forward to him returning in a couple of weeks.
