Happy Easter 2008

I can't believe that Easter is already hear. Happy Easter 2008 to all, but especially you my precious son. Mommy loves you more than anything. It has come over several times recently; thinking about how much I love you; and realizing that this is how much God loves us all, that this is the reason He sent His Son to earth to suffer on the cross as our sacrificial lamb, to die for our sins, to taste death, be buried for 3 days, but then rise to life again to share with us the grace and mercy God provides, and to send us a precious gift of the Holy Spirit to be our comforter and guide. Thank you God for all the wonderful gifts you have given us.

On another note. Friday was the one of the two best days you have had in the last 3 months. The first one was in January. You woke up in a good mood, got dressed, ate breakfast, went into the nursery at church, were good there, got in the car, you were hungry but when told had to wait a little bit to eat did not fuss, drove to Chico and sat in the back seat chating away, went to the movies and saw The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything Movie (Veggie Tales), ate popcorn and drank soda, sat through the movie no fussing, had wet clothes change, got those wet too, went to K-mart and tried on several outfits so that you had some dry clothes, went out to eat, within 5 mins of getting into the car to drive home you were asleep, slept all the way home, didn't wake up when got you out of the car carried you into the house and put you down in your crib and slept for a while longer, woke up again in a great mood, eat diner, took shower, went to bed and went to sleep with no fussing. Talk about one Blessed day. I could not belive it. It is one for the record books thus the reason why Mommy is noting it here in your journey.

So just like the day in January, Friday was remarkable. You got up in a great mood. You ate breakfast and then got into the car and spent 2 hours delivering Avon orders with Grandma C. We ate lunch, then loaded up in the car and drove to Chico with Grandma C, Auntie Sarah, and Mommy. We went to Kohl's and got you some short sleeve dress shirts and shorts for summer. Tried on 3 pairs of shoes but none fit. Went next door to The Shoe Pavillion and tried on several more pairs of shoes. Still none of them fit. Went to the mall. Walked all the way down to Sears and looked around the store, then walked back down to where Auntie was at New York & Company. Grandma went in, You and Mommy went down to Payless Shoes. You tried on 11 different pairs of shoes and did not fuss once. I was so proud of you. Stood around waiting for Auntie and Grandma to meet us but they were taking forever, so we walked to where they were at. Then back to Payless. After all that we still went over and walked through Costco with Grandma while she did some shopping. We got you some 3 piece pj sets for summer. We got back into the car and ate hot dogs on the way home. You were up very late, but you were not being fussy at all. You had already taken a shower and got dressed for bed. Finally you went to sleep. Another wonderful day. Thank God for the good days. We all treasure them as much as possible to help us through the not so good days.
