Ramblings

Today has been a long day! I have been up since 6am and have been going hard ever since. Rachel has been very clingy today...probably due to her 4 month needles yesterday. She had no fever or irritability; Praise the Lord! However, she got really sleepy about an hour after her needles and slept through the night. I slept through the night too except I was up around 3am to check on her. I have been feeding her rice cereal for a week and she seems to like it okay. Her reaction was so hilarious the first time she had it. She screwed up her face as if to say, "What is this stuff?!" I put her in the Jolly Jumper today. She had fun hanging there and squealed with delight. She hasn't figured out that she needs to jump.
When we go south next week we will be seeing some extended family members that we haven't seen for a while. I am looking forward to seeing my aunt as I haven't seen her since our wedding five years ago; she played the piano. We will be with Chris' aunt and uncle for dinner one night and also with friends who just moved to Calgary. We will be with Chris' family for Easter. His brother and family as well as all his aunts, uncles, cousins and their families, and his grandparents will all be there. I am looking forward to seeing everyone again and to remember the reason why we are gathering...the death, burial and most importantly the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ!
May you have a wonderful time with your families this Easter time.
