Good visit with Mom Emery

Well, Mom Emery headed home from our house today. She drove all the way from our house to her home outside of Jacksonville today, a 6 hour
drive! At 77!

She got a full dose of our lives over the past 2 weeks, which was good. The kids enjoyed spending some time with her, reading and being read to, and listening to her play the piano and sing. Sue got to go to the mall with her, take her to the Atlanta Passion Play, and all kinds of other
fun stuff. And I enjoyed her sharing of wisdom and knowledge in the
early morning and late night before and after my shift at work. And
best of all, we all got to celebrate her 77th birthday and Easter at our
house!

It was a good visit, and we hope she comes back soon.

Coloring eggs for Easter

We had a good time this evening. We went for dinner at Shane's Rib
Shack, one of our favorite places for barbecue, and then came home and
colored eggs. Jacob and Megan argued a little about some mistakes, but
otherwise it was a fun night!

Happy Birthday, Mom!

Mom Emery is celebrating her 77th birthday today! She came up with us
on our way home from Florida to spend some time visiting and celebrate
Easter with us. We took her to lunch at the Chik-Fil-A Dwarf House in
Stockbridge today and had a great time. Happy Birthday, Mom!

Fun in FL

My parents' house is next a field with a lake in it, so we get to put
the boat in sometimes and paddle around the lake fishing and having fun
it was beautiful weather today, and we had a grat time on the lake.
Thanks, Pop!

At the beach!

We took a part of the day to run over and play on the beach at Ormond
today. It was beautiful weather, sunny with a cool breeze. What fun!
