Easter Sunday

After a long drive from Houston to Ft. Benning, I got to celebrate Easter with Jer and Abby's family.

 

I guess I should back up a bit to fill in some gaps. I left last weekend to drive with the pups to Houston. I stayed to watch our niece Zoey for a week while her parents went on a motorcycle trip through Big Bend National Park. We did...Kindergarten, daycare, swim lessons, Easter crafts, practicing letters, walking the dogs, watching movies, and eating yummy food! During the days I spent time reading at Barnes and Noble, doing some light shopping, and basically just relaxing. It was like a mini vacation for me, too!

 

I'm lucky to have such travelling pups. They were awesome on my 12 hour trip from Jed to Jer's, and we only stopped 2 times! I'm also blessed to have such a great new car for all these miles.

 

I briefly got to visit with Ob who was visiting Jer's family for his spring break. And we got a great visit in with Jer and Abby and the kids. Church was outside downtown on the river. It was beautiful. The kids were very excited over their Easter basket goodies. We ate a delicious smoked brisket meal! Then, the best part was watching the kids on their egg hunt.

 

 

 

We love living close enough to family for the holidays. Such special times.

 

Today, Zack had the day off from flying and I just had to work lunch for a couple hours so we had the day to sleep in, eat cinnamon rolls, get yard stuff, and order a new dining room table! We had time to get some things done around the house and yard, too. Good way to start the week!
