What a weekend! I made it home Friday night in time for the Good Friday service at my church. It is very dramatic. The pastor reads through the story of Christ's crucifixion with hymns interspersed. Then at the end, he reads the last seven things Christ speaks as he is dying and after each one some lights are turned off in the sanctuary. Finally he reads the last words and all the lights are out. Then people get up and leave without saying a word to each other.
On Saturday we all worked to get ready for having Easter dinner at our house. Lydia and I went looking for her outfit and to escape some chores. :) Jon brought 2 friends home from the Naval Academy Prep School and they got in around 11:30pm. We talked until about 2am and finally I went to bed only to get up at 6:30am so I could get a shower. 2 showers with 10 people needing one in the morning was my motivation. Then we did the Easter basket deal and all got ready to go to breakfast at church. All the men in the church make a huge breakfast with pancakes and eggs and sausage and bacon and hash browns etc etc etc. It is so fun to come in and see everyone all dressed up. Church was great too. Then we went home to host 10 more family members for Easter dinner. By the time dessert rolled around we were ready for naps. BUT that didn't keep us from playing a 9 inning game of wiffleball then hanging out in the living room telling stories of when we were little and got in trouble ... or how we got out of trouble. Jon and his friends left at 8pm and Lydia, Kitty and I watched home videos of when I was 4 and Ben was 3. We were soooo cute. :)
And now it is back to clinic tomorrow. Whew.
