We had a nice Easter this year. Last year we went to North Carolina to visit Deanna and Way, but this year it was just us. We recently changed churches, from a small Presbyterian church to a larger non-denominatial church. The girls and I made dresses for them, and I smocked an outfit for baby Christian. The other boys all had newish shirts and pants and all looked really nice.
The Saturday before Easter we spent a few hours coloring eggs. We didn’t have any spilled dye this year like we did last year. Stephen was so cute. He just wanted to keep dipping those eggs. We dyed 36 eggs, and John said it went too fast. John likes to leave the eggs in the dye forever so they will be nice and dark, but most of the other kids just wanted to go as fast as possible.
Easter Sunday we went to ECC and enjoyed the service. Well, John and some of the kids enjoyed the service, as I was only there for about a half an hour. Then Christian got fussy so I took Christian, Stephen and Jacob home. John and other others stayed for the entire 1.5 hour service. They said it was good, but long.
We hunted for eggs inside the house which seems wrong. It was just too cold and wet here to hide them outside. The hunt was over very quickly, and John and I decided we had bought too much candy after all!
That evening we did a Christian Seder Service that I found on the internet. We’ve done it for the past 3 or 4 years. Usually we do it during Easter week, but this year we were so wrapped up in the house disaster that we put it off. The girls got all the china and silver out and decorated the table. It was a lot of fun. We put Christian and Stephen to bed after dinner and did the seder without them. At the end of the service we all held hands and danced around the table singing our version of a Jewish song. It was a neat way to celebrate Easter and to remember all that God has done for us.
You may wish to check out my web page: http://www.campbelllitigation.com . Homewowners often have legal redress for termite and rot damage. Rot is caused by wood decay fungus rather than directly from moisture. Termite companies should warn about moisture and rot because, as in your situation, one can promote the other.
