ec is nine weeks old today, which means E's maternity leave (and mine) of sixteen weeks is more than half over. I am currently visiting my dad for the second time during my break, and one more trip is planned for next month. We are so grateful for the recent test results showing no signs of cancer. I want to quilt at least one more quilt and do more writing before I resume childcare. And recycling things is very near the top of the list, too.
I enjoyed talking wedding plans with Sarah this past weekend. The big day will be here before we know it! Liz ran in a race Saturday morning, returning to E's with terribly muddy shoes from the Tilden Park trail. I joined es and her parents at Trinity for an Easter fun day celebration with crafts, singing and egg hunt. Dena and her two grandchildren came as well. Then we all went to Dena's for pizza and dyeing of eggs. I liked seeing es have fun with the older children, and I think they enjoyed her, too.
Easter Sunday morning was full of rousing music--handbells, trumpet, organ, voices--as we celebrated the Resurrection. Randy and I met Liz at Dena's for dessert late in the afternoon. It seemed somewhat strange to me knowing Liz was in town but not staying with us. It reminded me of times Randy and I went back to Illinois and stayed with either my folks or his; we had to make an effort to spend time with the other family.
