I made the yellow one for Charlie as a prototype. Then Will wanted to help make his own purple one. Will named his rabbit "Michael". Charlie's remains unnamed (poor, bunny).
Then, for the first time in several years, our whole family went to church together. The kids were excited about the Easter Egg hunt during the Sunday school hour. That is until they found out the eggs held puzzle pieces that the whole class could assemble afterward. (LOL, still no candy)
Jacob & I attended the service - some interesting reflections on Passover and Easter. The UU church is founded on the principles of both Christianity and Judaism so this was a big week for them. The music included several old African American spirituals from the days of slavery. The theme was freedom & renewal. We were asked to consider what we would be willing to give up in order to have freedom & begin a new life. Like I said, interesting.
By midday we were headed to north Charlotte to spend the day with our friend (and Jacob's boss), Neil. His daughter is visiting from California this week. We've heard so much about her and this was finally our chance to meet her. We spent all afternoon in the backyard -- the boys played games, grownups chatted, and Neil was the grillmeister.
Neil also has a great workshop and was kind enough to let Jacob use his tools to fix the blown struts on my Honda. So Jacob spent most of the day working on the car.
Potholes & bumps in the road no longer cause my car to careen out of control. It rides like a dream now. Thanks, hon!
We spent all afternoon with good friends eating way too much food. We didn't get home until after dark. And, once again, the kids went straight to bed and right to sleep. I could really get used to this.
