Easter Blessings

We had a wonderful Easter with family. We travelled south and got to see Rachel's Great Aunt Roxie. Easter weekend was spent with Chris' family. Rachel got to see all her Great Aunts and Uncles, her Great Grandparents and Grandparents as well as all her cousins (four boys) as Chris' brother and his wife were there. We went to Good Friday and Easter Sunday services and celebrated the resurrection of our Lord. The church did drama presentations of the crucifixion and resurrection. It was such a good reminder of what Christ did for us on the cross and that He is indeed alive! Halleluiah!!
We really enjoyed our time away but are really glad to be home. Rachel was so excited to see all her toys; it has been like Christmas here the last two days. She is becoming more vocal and shrieks in delight at just about everything. I was talking to a friend on the phone and I had to go into the kitchen because Rachel was screeching and talking so loud in the living room that I couldn't hear anything. Our neighbors next door could even hear her because we had the kitchen window open. I am going for a walk in the river valley with a friend tomorrow. It is supposed to be 26 degrees here tomorrow.
We are going to start our garden soon. I have flower seeds to plant and hopefully the weather will stay nice enough to start cleaning out the flower beds and getting the ground ready for a vegetable garden. It will be nice to get out in the soil and watch things grow.
Have a good day everyone!
