Easter weekend

We had a really great Easter weekend. We took advantage of the long weekend and headed up to Kentucky for a long-overdue visit with my parents and my sister and her family. 

Friday night, Papa planned a slumber party for the bigger kids. Hope there will be room for Lila and Peter in a couple of years!

Everyone woke up ready to hunt Easter eggs.

Papa gave wagon rides behind the lawn mower.

Peter had his first adventure swinging under the maple tree.

We got a good picture of the five of us. (It's a good thing, too, since I neglected to stage any photos on Easter Sunday.)

We ended the afternoon with a picnic lunch in a shady spot.

We headed home Saturday afternoon becauseI had to sing and ring Sunday morning. It was a wonderful weekend.

We had a great Christmas! There was baking, duck hunting, playing, eating, unwrapping, worshiping, celebrating, laughing, resting, merry-making. We were all sad when this Christmas came to an end.

My family came to Cincinnati and it was a lovely visit. We went to the Zoo on Saturday. It's a really nice zoo and we enjoyed so many of the exhibits - the gorillas, the manatees, the baby tigers. We wanted to eat at the Hofbrauhaus Saturday night, but the wait was too long. So we wound up having a good time at Johnny Rocket's instead. I was a little disappointed, but as my mom reminded me, it's really just about having a good time together no matter where you are! And we certainly had a good time all weekend long!

Easter 2009

It was a great weekend here at the Garrett house. We had special visitors - my family and Kevin's sister all spent some time with us. Caroline had the best time with her cousins, her aunts, and her Mimi. We all had fun together!

We made it to church. I really missed singing in the choir. But on the other hand, it was really nice to enjoy listening to the beautiful music. Helen slept blissfully through the whole service. Big sister actually sat through the whole service, too. We were impressed.

Helen wore the daygown I made. I say prayers over every dress or appliqued tee-shirt or daygown I make. So it was really special for me to see Helen in her gown. God has been so faithful to the four of us.

I hope each of you had a blessed Easter weekend!

Pajama time

I love these sweet cousins in their pjs! It was a pajama party!
