Easter

We headed to Iowa for Easter last weekend. It was good to see family. I took Friday off so we could get an early start. We got into CR a little after noon. We spent Friday night and Saturday with Garrett's family. We snuck away on Friday night for a "date night." We went to see Fast & Furious (is it #4?), hit Wal-Mart for Easter gifts, and then hung out a Perkins.

Saturday we visited Grandpa & Grandma McGinty and then headed over to Garrett's aunt & uncle's house for lunch. I didn't get to stay long. Andi fell out of their tree and sprained her ankle. I got to spend most of my Saturday afternoon in the Anamosa hospital. There were no broken bones and she is doing fine now, but we came home from the hospital in a splint and crutches.

Satrday night we went up to Grandma Betty's. We went to church with her on Sunday and came home to have the traditional Easter ham. The kids got to hunt Easter eggs (that they have been waiting for since Thanksgiving!!). After the hunt, Ryan loaded all the eggs into Grandma's mini-wagon and pulled them all over the house.

While at Gram's we found out that one of my bible study girls had passed away Easter morning. They discovered a blood clot in her lung, which had caused her to stop breathing. She was only 26 - it's been incredibly difficult. Her funeral is today and all of the bible study girls are getting together tonight.

So, that has meant a short work week for me - and a lot of chaos. I hope to have some pictures from Easter soon. Our home computer is too slow to load them without me beating it. :)
