Happy Easter!

What a beautiful day to celebrate our risen Lord! We have had a fun weekend, traveling to Corbin to spend time with the Strunks and to celebrate Sarah & John's wedding shower, Leah coming to town and John's birthday. Adam was a good traveler!



We made it back late so we could go to church today. We got up and ready for the 8:30 service - quite an accomplishment! It was Adam's first day in the main church service, and he was really good. He slept a little, played a little, and LOVED looking at all the big tv screens! We have noticed at home that he is always straining to see the tv if it is on, so of course the four big jumbo-screens were like a party to him.

We had Easter dinner at my mom's and then came home to dye our Easter eggs. You can see how much Adam enjoyed that!



Speaking of Easter eggs, David and I have dyed eggs every year we have been together, but the kit we bought this time was a real dud. One tablet didn't dissolve at all, there was no purple dye (tragedy), and several colors were sub-par. I looked carefully when buying this year because last year's kit did not contain a wax crayon (also a tragedy, and I am scarred by this, you can tell). So I got the box that contained a crayon, lots of colors, and thought we were good to go. Not so much. By the way, who wants a BROWN egg? We were not impressed. David thinks we bought a "neon colors" box three years ago, so I'll have to look for that one next year.

  2. That is a tragedy! I LOVE dying eggs and all Easter related decor! This may seem like more work, but I've always had great luck... just use food coloring and vinegar to make your colors. However, I can see how neon eggs would be really fun!!! I can tell you were really going to all that trouble so Adam could have a meaningful and exciting experience!!! : ) He is too cute! Can't wait to see him again - hopefully soon! xoxo, Julia
