Easter

Eva had a wonderful second Easter. Our church had a free pancake breakfast for everyone at 8:30, and I brought an egg dish to share. The service started at 10:00, we had a lot of visitors, and every child got an Easter basket. We don't have anyone working in the nursery until the teaching starts, but Eva often likes to go to the nursery to get a toy during worship. When I brought her in, a couple of the visiting moms left their babies there with me, apparently thinking I was there to watch them. Suddenly I was stranded with two babies and a toddler, as a largely pregnant woman who has to pee every 10 minutes, so I flagged down my friend Barbara to watch them while I ran to the bathroom. She's a grandmotherly old person, and offered to stay behind until the scheduled volunteers arrived so I could go back and enjoy the service. That was sweet of her. Afterwards we took Eva home for lunch, presents and a nap. We gave her DVD's of Veggie Tales "An Easter Carol" and "Peter Pan". Later we took her to visit Dave's mom, and let her do her first Easter egg hunt around the apartment. It took her awhile to get the idea, but she soon caught on and seemed to enjoy it. Then we took Grandma out to dinner at Cocos before heading home. It was a busy but enjoyable day.
