He Is Risen!!

It's been three months!  Aahh, better late than never, huh? Tis Easter Sunday and the world seems to be upside down these.  But He is risen!!  As Christians, we believe that no matter what darkness, pain, and uncertainty might come our way from time to time, we still have much reason to hope. We believe that a man named Jesus existed in history. We believe he wasn't a liar or a lunatic. We see all the historical facts come together in pointing that, yes indeed, he is who he said he his. He is the Son of God!  He accepted the most humiliating and excruciating death ever conceived to pay the expensive penalty of all the sins of the world. We believe, we hope, and we are grateful!!

Alleluia!!!

Here are some pictures of our family starting with Holy Friday, Holy Saturday, and today.  Next will be earlier this week and on into previous weeks.  I'll see if I can post some more pictures as we continue on with our Easter festivities!!

We love you!!!

I love how the Glen is filled with bluebells in the spring. 

Annual tradition of praying Stations of the Cross at Durwards Glen. 

The kids did a super job of decorating eggs this year. 

Yummy breakfast this morning. Carrot cake pancakes with cream cheese topping, sausage, and fruit salad. 

I got the kids huge Easter baskets this year, so that later they can use them as laundry baskets.
Time for everyone to learn how to do their own laundry!  hahahaha!!  My Easter gift. Te he. 

Waiting for Mass to start. 

Easter 2020. 

Nutmeg wants a flower garden so badly. So I got her some things to get it started inside.

We put a little more work into our Seder meal this year since we weren't going to Mass that night. We read a much longer, more detailed script. We even wore costumes! We always look forward to this tradition. 

So Covid Quarantine 2020. No big deal for us. Dad still goes to work (albeit, it IS more stressful these days), Mom is still
coordinating the circus,  studies, the kids are kept plenty busy with schoolwork and playing outside. Sure, grocery getting is taking a bit more work and our fun activities are canceled but we are okay. Most families have it a whole lot harder than us. We are doing very well. In fact, as a natural introvert, I'm enjoying the quiet time. Take these pictures for example. We just load up the car with sports gear and head to the park. Great quality family time! We are going need to re-access the bike situation soon though. 

Nutmeg has been having a ball lately with rollerblading!!

And finally teaching her a bit about sewing! Her first project?  A facemask!!  Haha. Really telling of these times, huh?

Working on numbers through 40 right now.
