Happy Easter!!!!

Christ is Risen! He is Risen Indeed! Alleluia!!!

John slept pretty well through the night, despite a few coughing fits here and there. The decongestants and breathing treatments are doing their job and thankfully he is still at home and even got to go to church this morning to celebrate Easter. After the service the kids went out to hunt Easter eggs and John got to go out with them too. Of course they tried to put an egg in the very top of a nearby bush so that he could easily reach it from where I was holding him, but he found that he mostly liked to hunt eggs out of the other kids baskets. He was pretty thrilled with the whole egg thing, especially after we came back inside the church with the older girls and he figured out that if he threw the egg on the floor it would roll down the hall and Tiffany would go and fetch it for him. Ever the silly man he would look her right in the face, smile nice and big and toss yet another egg down the hall.

John's afternoon went quite well too. He stopped running fevers so we got to discontinue the tylenol but his cough required a few more breathing treatments and decongestants. He played with our friends kids, Steven and Tiffany, and dug around in his Easter basket a bit, but was more thrilled that the eggs would come apart than with the little frogs and lizards inside of them, go figure. After our friends left for home John sat in the living room floor with Mark and I and rolled the ball back and forth with us for a while before he was tired and ready to go to bed. He's quiet now, a few coughing fits after initially going to bed but is now sleeping peacefully, rolled up on his side cuddling his blanket, storing up energy for tomorrow's adventures at school and getting his left hearing aid mold refitted. He's grown enough since he got them that the mold no longer fits well enough to stay in firmly.

Happy Easter to everyone!
