Easter 2008

Happy Easter everyone!!! Today, like last year, was not the day we had planned. But...it was still fine. Ian has been sick all weekend. Friday evening he threw up while we were at Target and then again after we got home. He started running a fever and coughing quite a bit. Saturday he was pretty miserable. Fever all day and evening, lots of coughing and then throwing up again (all over mommy this time). His fever broke about midnight last night, but we were a little afraid to take him to church this morning. He probably would have been fine, but we were worried that he might be contagious. So, we stayed home. Last year, I was so sick and we didn't get to go to church on Easter Sunday morning. This year, we did get to go to our Service of Darkness on Thursday evening. Ian did pretty well for about half an hour. As we were getting ready to go forward for Communion, it was really, really quite in the church. Ian says "can I take my fruit snacks daddy"? Those around us chuckled a bit. He was pretty much done after that. So, Charlie spent the rest of the time in going up and down the stairs in the lobby.

This morning, Ian found his Easter basket and had a great time. He had M & M's for breakfast. At least he was eating something and keeping it down. Brad came over this evening for dinner. Ian loves his uncle Brad.

Tomorrow is the big day. Our little man turns 3 tomorrow!!! Yay!!! He's such a big boy...or at least he thinks he is (until he wants mommy to hold him like a baby). We are so blessed to have this amazing little man in our lives.

As we celebrate Easter today, let us not forget the reason for the celebration. Our Savior, died on the cross and rose again!! HE IS RISEN....RISEN INDEED!
