I hope you all had wonderful weekends celebrating the resurrection of the Lord! Ours is different here, of course, and I do admit that Easter is the one time when I do long to go to a church with more of a liturgy and solemnity about the whole occasion. Easter Sunday, of course, is a time of celebration. And our church plant held celebration that day, although we couldn't have it outside due to rain. (It's been raining almost every other day here for the past 2 months....) We had a potluck brunch. The teen band played worship songs accompanied by some adults, and we heard the easter story, and then there was an egg hunt (in the W.I. gym!!) for the kids. Then our family came home and enjoyed some rest and a yummy roast beef dinner.
The day before, on Saturday, Elizabeth and I colored some eggs. Caleb didn't quite grasp the concept and had to go outside with Daddy to prevent the whole kitchen from being dyed. And the kids did get easter baskets with a little candy and a couple fun toys. So we had a good weekend. We're looking forward to a whole week (at least till Saturday) with no rain in the forecast. Maybe we can get some yard work done. Hmmm....
The picture of Caleb has him holding a chicken we call Big Mama. Some of the chickens have names ( Big Mama, Chirpy, Speedo and one Elizabeth calls Fly of Death) but some don't because we can't tell them apart!
