Easter Weekend

We kicked off our three day Easter weekend with a special visitor. Benjamin has been sorely missed these last five months and our visit was much too brief. Ty is once again processing how to say goodbye to his "brother".

We made the most of the time we had together. The boys didn't miss a beat and resumed role play,  games and non-stop action. They looked like they'd rolled in dirt piles by bedtime each day; evidence of a great time.

My parents also joined our simple Easter celebration. Banter around the dinner table or or in front of Facetime with Lauren and Austin was lively and full of laughter. Add Greg's amazing turkey after church today and life was pretty sweet.

Easter baskets are tricky for teens and even pre-teens. Makenna was captured fully with the sign alone. She says she will place it on her desk every period tomorrow. Senioritis is so very real in her world these days. The alarm has been set for the first time in two weeks. Tomorrow will be rough even though I welcome routine. We are in the home stretch with nine remaining school weeks. Most of us are going to make it. Makenna swears she won't.
