Easter Monday

Easter was yesterday. We of course didn't go anywhere.  We didn't have an egg hunt, except that I did a delightful Resurrection Egg hunt with the three youngest.  I have a dozen plastic eggs with various symbols of the death of Christ and his resurrection in the eggs, like praying hands, a stone (to represent the tomb), a scrap of cloth for the linen, etc.  It was good.

Life continues to truck along.  I actually had to leave the house today, as two of the boys had problems with their glasses.  I wore a mask into the optometrist's office and wore gloves, which I discarded. 

Other than that, we've been home except for occasional forays to the grocery store on Kevin's part.  We had some lovely days last week weather wise, but now we're in a bit of a cold spell. April is like that -- warm days, cold days, warm days, cold days.


Rose is so silly!


We have six computers in this room. Craziness!


Daniel needs his stuffed animals when he is playing Minecraft!


On a nice day, Kevin took the three little kids on a wagon ride.


One tiny silver lining to the quarantine is that we are enjoying more family meals together.  Naomi sits off by herself because she wants to. We could shove her in a corner but realistically, ten of us do fill up the table pretty well.

Mostly we are doing well.  Life is weird and challenging in some ways, but we continue to cling to God.  We aren't suffering physically and I am so thankful for that.  The uncertainty about the future is wearing. I don't like uncertainty. But it is what it is.  May God bless our leaders with wisdom.
