  • Easter

    We have been so busy, it's been awhile since the last blog post! Holy Week was also very busy, we had a visit from SIL Erin and nieces Charlotte & Meghan. That afternoon was a Kansas-like storm, with thunder, lightning, and pea-sized hail... we must have had half an inch!

    Veronica was acolyte on Good Friday, then Saturday was very busy. Étienne had his musical practice in the morning, so he was not able to go to the Loyal Heights egg hunt. :-( I did manage to finish the Easter garland I have been working on, and we dyed eggs that afternoon.

    Ballard First Lutheran has an Easter Vigil, which I always enjoy, complete with the new Easter bonfire in the courtyard and candlelight processional into the dark church. I had volunteered our family to do a skit for the lessons part of the service, and we did the story of Jonah with Carl playing Jonah and Étienne playing God. There was strawberry shortcake, sparkling juice & champagne after the service!

    Since Carl is in middle school now, he gets to help with the Easter breakfast Sunday morning. The service started with the Sunday School children singing. Veronica declined to acolyte because she did not want to wear a robe over her new dress!
