Easter 2010

-




Easter happened. There was some really great and some really not great. Davis got a fever the afternoon of our Good Friday potluck. Only Cheris and Rob and their kids and my parents decided to party anyway, but we all ended up having a fabulous time. So that was good, but Davis' fever was not very good.
Saturday I got to go to yoga and then have our first pool party of the season at mom and dad's and then we dyed eggs and made cookies with G.G. and Gramp.
Marchelle and Marc came to stay overnight and we had a wonderful dinner and great conversation and wine on the patio.
So that was pretty wonderful too. But Davis was still feeling very badly, so that wasn't good.
Easter dawned misty and rainy. Davis was screaming and writhing about with ear pain and a couple of us were a bit hung over. All of that wasn't so great.
But we regrouped and headed over to my mom and dad's house and ended up having a fabulous Easter party with friends and family. The buffet was wonderful. We had 2 official easter egg hunts and several more impromptu ones. I found a egg with my name on it that had a lottery ticket in it and I won $40! That was so fun!
But Davis' ear was hurting him so badly that he missed the easter egg hunt. And later that night I started feeling badly with what turned out to be a UTI.
And Sam woke up the next morning with an ear infection and eye infection of his own.
So you know, it was a mixed bag.
But that's all judging. And I'm trying not to judge these days. So I will just say that we had Easter. And I will share the pictures. And I will remember it happily.

Ha! I like how Marchelle is egg hunting with wine. In fact, I want to go on an egg hunt where I FIND bottles of wine. Oh yeah.

Well, in Marchelle's defense, we ALL hunted with wine. It was a Tomblin holiday, could expect anything less? AND, easter egg hunting where the prize is a bottle of wine is a FANTASTIC idea. Implementing for next year...

New Roof

We have a new roof. Our tile roof was supposed to last a lifetime, but it was put on incorrectly and so we've been fighting leaks ever since we moved in. We had some bids offered on both a new tile roof or on several different types of metal. We chose a metal roof because I grew up with a metal roof and loved it and because it was less expensive than the tile. It took the crew seven working days to take off the tile and put up the new roof. They did a great job and we really love it. We were worried at first that it wouldn't be as beautiful, but we really do like it. Now I want to repaint the front door though.

New Directions/New Blog

The times, they are a'changing. I think it might be time to start something new. I have the idea that I want to start a new travel website/blog. I want it to be fancy and pretty. It will be a place to focus all my travel obsession/passion. I will blog our trips there and talk about travel with children. I will post when I find places that I want to travel to and I will post when I find great travel deals. I will talk about the points game too. I want to talk about Generational Travel. I want to talk about traveling with small children, but I also want to talk about how it is to travel with my dad and my grandparents. I haven't been able to find any websites out there that talk about travel with alzheimers and I think it would be helpful to some people. Katie already told me she'd help with my social media. (sure, with all her spare time. ;)) This blog has been my journal for seven years. I have loved keeping a record of my family here. Each year, when I rec...

Love for My Boys

First, Sam. Sam is in such a sweet stage right now. Gentle, giving, fun, sweet, easy. He loves to cuddle and share. He's talking a ton now and growing so fast. He's learning to ride a bike and yesterday and twice today, he pooped in the potty! He's only 21 months!!! He's working on his two year old molars and has been carrying around an old metal rattle to chew on. This morning he accidentally whacked Davis on the head with it. Davis cried and I pulled him in my lap. Sam ran over and crawled up next to us on the couch. "What happened?", he asked, deeply concerned. I explained that he had hurt his brother. Sammy said, "So Sorry, Dadis. Hug.", and gave him a big hug. Then he said to Davis, "I loves you.". I've never heard him say he loved anything or anyone and I was so touched to hear him say it to his brother. He would follow Davis anywhere and does. He leaps from the couch after Davis and tromps through the grass. He ex...
