We were blessed to have our friends Josh and Jill come visit from Baltimore, MD, two weeks ago--before we leave for California. We have been friends with them since 2004 and they are some of our best friends. Josh and Marc deployed together in 2005 and Jill and I hung out together while they were gone (neither of us had kids yet), forming a friendship that will last a lifetime. Will we ever forget the fun times we had? I think not...hours and hours of Cranium, especially over Thanksgiving when I was on R&R. We definitely floated that keg, ha ha! They introduced us to our current church/church family which has had a tremendous impact on our lives, not just spiritually, and we are indebted to them for that! Now they have two beautiful daughters, Abigail and Brooke, and they had a great time playing with Alex (see below). Josh and Jill, we already miss you (from here to Baltimore) and will miss you even more across the country!! We definitely plan on visiting Baltimore and hope you will visit us in San Diego.
Well, we had a wonderful Easter and have so many blessings to be thankful for! We got two offers on our house, just two days after we listed it with a real estate agent, so we're under contract now! Thank you for answering those prayers God, we are so greatful!! We went to Easter service on Saturday evening to avoid the Sunday crowds and because Marc was leaving for his trip Sunday afternoon. Alex was quite the poser once he was all dressed up and Marc and I both got some really cute pics of him!! He is such a little gentleman when he wants to be and melts our hearts everyday! After church ("Mommy, church is fun," he said when we picked him up from the nursery.) we went home and dyed a dozen eggs that I had hard boiled earlier in the day (thanks to the egg boiler indicator from Grammy!). He was very excited to put stickers on the eggs too, once they dried. He placed his basket outside before bed (third to last picture) and was overjoyed with the goodies from the Easter Bunny on Sunday morning. We had a nice egg hunt, ate some mini-snickers and blue Peeps for breakfast, then took Rummy on a long walk while Alex rode his scooter (he's really good at this now and loves going fast). Unfortunately, I cannot get any of my Easter morning videos to download but I'll try again later; I did post the scooter video from Sunday afternoon. Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!!
