Easter Weekend (Good and Bad)

Donald and I traveled to Abilene Saturday afternoon. We stopped at Whitney and Jasons house and Morgan ran out to greet us with Lacey dog. She was going 90 to nothing. We visited for a bit then went to eat. We went home and just enjoyed visiting and I gave Whitney and Morgan a pedicure. Whitney claims she can't reach her toes anymore. Jason and I read Morgan a few stories and she dropped off to sleep. Did not take PaPaw long to crash after that. Jason put in grades and Whit and I watched two episodes of Dateline together and felt and watched little Kennedy kicking and tumbling up a storm. Finally we turned in for the night.

Sunday we got up and went to church. Ok, my stomach was feeling a little funny but I thought it will go away in a little while. During church they showed a slide of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus and said to get your children close and tell them the story. Whit had Morgan in her lap and Jason leaned over and told her the story. She was so tuned into what he had to say and took it all in. As I watched, I had chills run up and down my body just seeing how great a father Jason is to Morgan. It touched me so to see him tell her the story and teach her about Jesus Christ. Jason bought her a Bible story book for Fathers and Daughters and they share a story each night. Now how great is that? I am so thankful for the father that he is to Morgan. (Morgan, one word of advice to you when you grow up...and please remember this...When you look for the man of your life, look for one that has the same qualities as your dad and you will be just fine.) Jason, just want you to know how proud we are of you for the job that you are doing as a father and husband. We could not be more proud of you!!!!

Now for the bad side of the weekend...I ended up sick and had to leave out of church and we had to miss Morgan hunting Easter eggs. But with that, we still had a great time just visiting with Jason, Whitney and Morgan. Ashley and Jordan, we had planned to stay until you all got home so we could see you all but I figured I did not need to be there to expose anyone if I could help it. Glad you all had a great time. I know Morgan enjoyed babysitting Lacey.

It's 2:00 a.m.- I can't sleep so I'm checking blogs. I hope I'm not getting sick... either I am or I have a bad migraine. The left side of my head and neck is hurting and I think it's making me nauseous. Laying in bed thinking about it is making it worse. I tried to throw up but couldn't. I'll show Jason your post... he'll appreciate it.

Well glad you are feeling better...sounds a lot like what Jordan had. You should post your old show day pictures...they would be interesting to look at! You have that nice printer/scanner now, so you need to do it.
