We had such a busy weekend with all the Easter goings on. There was an Easter egg hunt in town in Valley on Saturday. Then we did our own hunt at home Saturday evening, cause the forecast said that the weather Sunday was supposed to be about 55 and raining. It didn't turn out to be raining or as cool as 55....Sunday we went to Andy's grandparents house AND we went to Leavenworth to spend some time with my side of the family. It was a very exhausting weekend. I think next year I may do all the secular Easter things on Saturday and do the REAL Easter related things on Sunday. Somehow I just think the secular Easter celebrations get out of hand and overshadow the real things we should be remembering and celebrating.
Last week I did a lot of teaching the kids about the Atonement. We talked each day about the things He did in the week leading up the resurrection. We read scriptures, watched scripture dvd's, used the friend magazine, drew pictures and I still feel like I didn't get much across....I often feel like I'm just not getting the info into their little brains the way I'd like. I think, all-in-all, they did learn and retain something about why we celebrate Easter. Line upon line, eh?
In news not related to Easter, Hannah is six months old as of last Wednesday! Hard to believe she's that old already!! She's working on growing both her bottom middle teeth, she's started rocking on all fours in preparation for crawling. She's, overall, a more agreeable baby....cries less, laughs more. She likes jumping in the jumper as long as I'm sitting right next to her. She really likes people. Although I've noticed she also seems to like a little alone time. She doesn't cry when I put her down for a nap or when she wakes up from her nap. She just kind of hangs out playing by herself until I come get her.
