Happy Easter and Happy Spring. Last weekend I had my entire family at my house. My aunt and I share the holiday gathering responsibilities since my Grandmother can no longer plan and tolerate these occassions. We had such a great weekend and Sunday. Of course, the meal was fabulous with lots of food I didn't need to eat, but I ate some anyway. Church was wonderful. The family had a blast with the egg hunt at our house even though it was terribly wet. The kids still had fun.
Daniel's baseball games have begun. He is playing with the pitch machine for the first time and it makes me more nervous than I'd like to admit. He is full of energy always, and seems to be catching on to "hip". He and his friends have catchy little sayings and signs to one another. They all seem to be very light hearted and not too serious about anything. I guess that's a simple joy of being a child.
Lily is wrapping up her traveling volleyball events now. She has broken up with her boyfriend and he's taking it pretty hard. He's a good hearted kid and we all wish him the best. It just seems Lily has plans, bigger plans than focusing on just a boy. I am so proud of her for that. She has a level head on her shoulders and gets confused, needs guidance like any other teenager, but she is true to herself. That is often something people need years and experience to have the courage to do. She is a little subborn, but so far, it's been beneficial to her on most occassions.
Mark stays busy working and golfs every chance he gets. I have to say I really like his friends, most of them. He has friends he has kept close to since middle school and wonderful friends he has met through work. Mark is never at a loss for words and is always full of jokes, sees the "bright side" of things and usualy has a witty comment. He is so darn intelligent too. Folks would never believe this, I don't think, due to his jokester personality. We watch Jeopardy and the man can slay the contestants. He doesn't like to read though. That is a huge difference we have. I have to have a book that I am delving into.
I hope to goodness I can be more faithul to this blog thing.
