Easter 2009

Of course I'm late with this posting.  At this point, I'm sure no one expects less than a late posting from me!!  Ha, ha.  OK, so I'm only 2 1/2 weeks late versus months late, but nonetheless, our Easter weekend was fabulous!  The weekend started out with the kids going to Gma & Gpa Baggenstoss' on Friday night for a sleepover and an Easter egg hunt.  Thanks to them, Haley, mom and I were able to make it a "girls' day out"!  We went shopping and out to dinner.  Oh, did I mention that Haley and I got a wild hair up our (you know where) and got our noses pierced?  Yep.  Well, mine became a nuisance and is out already, but Haley is still going strong!  It was a really fun time and we vowed to do it again soon (minus piercings)...but for a weekend next time!  Saturday we had the Game Feed on the Baggenstoss side, spent the night at my mom's where the Easter bunny came and left the kids' baskets (see pictures) after a treasure hunt to find them.  We had brunch there and then we were off to Spaniers for an egg hunt and dinner.  God bless the one day of the year that it is acceptable for kids to eat candy for breakfast! 

Thankful

We are very thankful for family and friends this week.  Ryan's dad made it successfully through heart surgery this week.  We are so thankful that he is doing great considering and has such a wonderful attitude about it.  Max was sick and had to be evaluated at Children's Hospital (all turned out fine).  My mom and Jim watched the kids for us while we spent many worried hours at both hospitals.  We received many calls/emails and offers of help from the rest of our family and all of the wonderful friends we have.  We feel so blessed this week with the outcomes of both Bill and Max's health and the pouring of love and support from our friends and family.  We are so grateful for the people we have in our lives.  THANK YOU!!!!
