Note Of The Day

Lin-Ley is a note giver. She is always leaving notes for us. This was her Easter note to Dallas and myself. She is just beginning to learn script and she obviously needs some practice but she is very proud of her early efforts.
























Dear Lin-Ley,
Ditto!
Mom and Dad

Quote Of The Day

Yesterday evening, just before Tru's Occupational Therapy session was to begin:

Tru: "Ohhhhhhh, I love you Mom. You are the best!"
Jody: "I love you too!"


About 30 seconds later:
Tru: "Thanks Mom."
Jody: "For what?"
Tru: "For loving me."

Happy Easter 2011

We arrived home Saturday evening after visiting Louisiana for the past nine days. It was time to prepare for the Easter Bunny!


Lin-Ley and I prepared the Fred plate for the bunny. His treats were grass hair, dandelion mustache and earrings (?) and a carrot beard.

And the Easter Bunny delivered.
At church the kids present three songs. The church filled quickly so we did not get a great seat from which we could take pictures and video.
Lin-Ley did not have any smiles for the camera as on her way into the sanctuary she fell and scraped her leg and foot. Luckily, she maintained a "the show must go on" attitude about it. Afterward there were band aids and kisses.

It was hard to get a good view of Tru. We managed to get peeks of him when the folks in front of us moved their heads at just the right angle.

After the church services and before the Easter Egg Hunt, there were more songs and a special Easter message just for the kids.
Then the egg hunt was on. Lin-Ley ran for the eggs with her friends Mercy and Janet. There was really no need to run because all of the children got to collect and take home ten eggs each.
It must be the excitement of the hunt.
Tru was searching hard but was not having much luck.
The boys.

Dallas works on Sundays but took Easter Sunday off to attend church services as a family.
HAPPY EASTER!!
