Easter - A Day to Reflect on All Our Blessings!

Easter weekend was a great weekend around the Lomax house. David had Good Friday off so he spent a lot of time in the basement fixing stuff up. He had to change the height of the base stair and do some work to make it very structurally sound. (Some of us are a little hefty these days!) We had wonderful weather on Good Friday, so once I got home we spent a lot of time hanging outside playing with George. Daddy and LouAnn sent us an Easter gift with a super cute rattle for the baby and a waddling chicken that plays "The Chicken Dance." George was very taken back by the chicken and wasn't quite sure what to do with it! There aren't any pictures of Charlie with the chicken because he just ignored it!

George spent some time checking out the new flowers.  It was great day with nature and with my guys. 

These Flowers Smell Great!                            Coming Mommy!!!

Saturday was about errands and spending time together. It was just a great time together and focusing on the blessings in our lives. We have so much to be thankful and there is no time like Easter to focus on all of those blessings and start anew with more love and more strength than we had in the past year.

Sunday I had a BUSY day at church, helping with communion for three services and being the worship assistant for two. I was pooped by the time it was over!  David put together our new grill (ours was literally falling apart) and I went shopping.  The perfect afternoon!  I bought another outfit for the baby and I bought Jonah an Easter bib that says "Chicks Dig Me."  So sweet.  We are super excited to be getting a little nephew very soon!!!  I had a little meltdown because Easter is supposed to be about being with family but we are so far from ours that it is hard sometimes to deal with it when you see lots of others with theirs.  But I know that I am fortunate to be able to call them and to have my little family here.  And for that that blessing, among all the others, I am thankful.
