Catchin up...

Catchin up...

It's been a couple of days since I last blogged...so, there's no tellin what I'll come up with in here...maybe some random thoughts, but thoughts no less. I had a wonderful weekend with my family. Friday was low-key...I went to a fun dinner party for my lil' sister's birthday. It was fun sippin on some wine, chatting, huggin necks and best of all, getting a surprise visit from my dad. He swept into town unannounced, and we all loved it! So we spent saturday out in smithfield with him & the cousins. Very relaxing, fun but always chaotic at times when we all get together. Let's see, there are always boy fights we are breaking up b/t Judah and Garrett. ohhh, and someone always gets hurt or hits....and nevertheless, right before we leave to head home, Garrett gets stung by a wasp...randomly, inside papa's house. He didn't like that boo-boo, cried a bit, benedryl & ice helped, then he snoozed the whole way home.
It's always fun to be out there in the countryside of Virginia. What a blessing to have that cozy home where we can gather, laugh, argue, ya know, all the drama that goes along with one big family! Love it!

Sunday, we had a lil' egg hunt for Garrett...Gideon watched. We have a postage stamp backyard, so it didn't take long for him to find the eggs, but what fun & joy he got out of it. We enjoyed this easter, b/c Garrett was really into it, loved the egg hunts & continued to inform us as to what easter meant to him....we loved how at school, he was taught the beautiful meaning of easter.

All in all, it was a nice weekend, that carried over into Monday, and we had the day to spend with JC. Instead of a mundane monday, we were able to play around, head to trader joe's and just enjoy another day together.

More to come....
