Happy Easter ,Everyone! We had a wonderful morning at church. The pastor talked about the significance of the resurrection. The kids performed beautifully in their play. Landon remembered his lines. Xander helped Landon up off the ground but forgot to say his part but it worked out cute anyway. All three of the kids looked adorable singing the songs. Xander and Landon remembered the words pretty well and sang loud enough to be heard.
Ronan and Inara fell asleep mid way through the service and I was happy neither one of them got fussy and restless. on the way home Inara and Ronan held hands in their car seats. At home the kids saw their Easter baskets which were arranged in birth order including my niece's and nephew's baskets. Once all of my family arrived we let the kids explore what they got in their baskets before we attempted Easter dress clothes pictures.
The pictures proved as challenging as usual. I suppose the challenge is pretty self explanatory. Seven children all six and under sitting still so people can snap pictures of them in hopes that you will catch just one single shot of all seven of them looking somewhat at the camera. To hope for seven in sync smiles is beyond what is thought possible and therefor unexpected.
Lunch was delicious. Everyone chipped in with ham, potatoes, green beans, rolls and pies. There are 3 rules you must remember when having Ronan around. Lesson # 1 Ronan is tiny and can maneuver quickly with near invisible ease. Lesson # 2 if you place food of any sort too close to the edge Ronan will make a run to grab said item. Lesson # 3 Ronan has a death grip when he really wants something he knows is off limits. You will not get the item back without sheer force. The ignoring of these Ronan rules are what lead up to a good portion of the coconut cream pie landing straight on the top of Ronan's head.
The last family event was the Easter egg hunt. We hid 168 plastic eggs in various places outside. We mainly just tossed them around the yard and let the kids search. They each had a bucket full. My three oldest loaded up with Grandma and Grandpa Fullmer and they are now on their way to their grandparents'. They will be back on Wednesday. I will miss them but tonight I will be focused on Ronan.
He has his sleep study to see if night oxygen is a good option. If the oxygen makes his situation worse we will have to decide from there what we should do. I don't think the place has internet access so I wanted to make sure we had the daily blog done and posted. But today was a good day to remember the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. We also had some great family time together with both sets of grandparents and my brother's family.
