- Saturday Aidan had his third soccer game. He is doing SO well. He tries really hard, and has a GREAT kick! I love watching him. He is too cute. I was too busy cheering for him this game, I forgot to take pics!! Just imagine #15 dashing around the field, smiling!! :)
- After the game we went to eat lunch at our favorite Mexican place in town, the kids and Jason road there bikes there and I drove. I was heading to Target afterwards to do my "Easter Bunny" shopping.
- The kids were SO SO excited about their adorable baskets. I must say, I was quite happy with that wiley Easter Bunny, myself. I was VERY happy he brought rain boots for the kids because, it rains a HELL of a lot here in the Spring! :)
He also brought Lily some new "head wrap" style head bands. I had gotten some for myself and it turns out she LOVES them. She looks adorable in them, I think.
The also had bubbles in their baskets....Lola seems to be fascinated with the bubbles....
After our at home Easter celebration, we went on to Church. We FINALLY found a church we feel at home at. It is a very liberal minded, OPEN minded Church where thinking is encouraged. It's amazing, and it is so comforting to be able to be who we are at a Church. Love it. A lady at church came up to me after the service started talking. She was telling me that her husband had died a couple years ago and she was still not over it. At the time of his death they had been married 58 years. I sat there listening and thinking about how hard that must be to be with your partner for that long and then have them be taken away and what a tremendous void that must be. She reached into her purse and asked if she could show me her wedding picture. Of course! She must have known I am a sucker for a beautiful love story. When we were looking at the picture she put her hand on mine and she said "you know, I never really appreciated how beautiful he was. Now, I walk around my house and I look at all the pictures of him and I am in awe of how gorgeous he was." Then she looked me in the eye and said "honey, you and that amazing husband of yours should spend as much time as you can gazing into each others' eyes. Always let each other know how beautiful you are to one another." Luckily for us we do that all the time, but still. It just made me want to treasure him even more. It was an impactful moment.
- After that--we went to mom's to have Easter lunch. The Easter bunny stopped there too!!
The kids and Lola had fun out in the yard....
Lola with Mom's dog, Lakota. She really wanted him to play with her!!
It was a great weekend all around. It ended with some time sitting in the sun at home....so nice.
