It has literally been a month of Sunday's since I have had time to sit and write a post about what is happening in our crazy, busy lives.
It has indeed been full and nonstop.
So, without a lot of words and with a TON of pictures, here is what our last month has looked like.
Saturday, April 4, 2015--
The day before Easter.
These girls spent a lot of time making sure their nails matched their dresses.
93/365......
and finally, right before bedtime, we got to dye Easter Eggs.
It is a tradition.

After Sunrise service, breakfast and Easter Worship, we went to my in-laws home for lunch.
94/365...... the best picture I got of all four of them in their Easter outfits.
Nana had made a wonderful Easter lunch for us. We had a great time visiting.
While Nana made lunch, Grandpap and Diana ( a family friend) had hid eggs for the kids to fine AND had made a scavenger hunt for each one of them. It was so fun.
I am hoping to write a post about this all on it's own.
The kids had a blast.

On Monday, the kids and I headed to Georgia to visit my family.
Wet weather is never fun when traveling.
Especially through the gorges.

We were definitely tired and travel weary.

Papa was headed out of town, so on Wednesday we all spent the day with him.
And I got to experience what it might be like to have 6 kids. HA.
This is my favorite picture I got at the Chattanooga Aquarium.
Sweet cousins.

100/365...... My Pa has had dementia for several years now and hasn't known any of his grandchildren for a while. On this day, it seemed like he was working hard to put it together that his daughter ( My Mom- who he recognized) was my Mom. It was a sweet visit.
If I had known it was going to be my last visit with him, I would've stayed longer.
The perfect song as we started home....

Busy Sunday.
Fun youth meeting. One of our youth led our devotion and she had us hold mints in our mouth without sucking on them as an object lesson.
It was not easy.

Which he did without any "sleepy juice".
So, we celebrated afterwards with a muffin.

So, my instagram picture for this day wasn't taken by me. It was posted by my cousin.
We got word in the middle of the day on Tuesday that my grandfather ( the one from above) had passed away. He was 92.
He had a good long life and this is him and my grandmother on the day they got married.
I was so very thankful that I had visited with him just three days earlier.

We ended up driving through some nasty rain

106/365.... As we got ready for bed that evening, this boy made me laugh.
He said he looked like an old man.
And he refused to smile.
Not sure why.

They were so good and remind me of my childhood. My mom used to make them.

Can't wait for next year.

They need to be re-done, but I love the shape of them.
And if I can find a hounds-tooth fabric that I like ( that isn't green -- this one is) I will be getting it!

SO good.
