Our Weekend Adventure

I had a FaBuLoUs Easter. Morning was kind of a blur. Camryn woke up early and Jaely woke up early with a horrendous cough. She is now to the barking stage, so probably doctors tomorrow. We managed to all take showers and get ourselves fancy. Thank goodness TJ took some pictures before we left for church. I was trying to pack most of our stuff up so we could head out as soon as possible after getting back from church and brunch. But in all the flurry of activity, there were these two smiles that made me pause in gratefulness.
It was a wonderful time. We colored Easter eggs, did an Easter egg hunt, hung out with trevor and lori and gail and steve, colored, read books, had an Easter basket hunt, sang Jesus Loves Me, went to church and brunch. We feel so loved, yet so exhausted. TJ and i tried to unpack, make dinner, put the girls to bed, clean up, and get ready for our week, but i feel as though i wasn't very successful in this. I feel completely unprepared for next week and we still have stuff everywhere in our house! But in the grand scheme of things, it is family and memories that matter. Seeing my girls with smiles on their faces made it all worth it. Jaely and Cami bring so many smiles to the people around them. . . TJ and i can't keep it all to ourselves. We have to spread the joy around. And i am so glad we did!

But. . . It is going to be a long week.
