Sunday (Easter), April 5
We all awoke to the shrieking of smoke alarms – 5:30 AM – because Jere was lighting a fire in the fireplace and had the flue closed a bit too tight.
We made sure to give him a lot of grief during the morning. 🙂
Deb and Kristen making breakfast.
Cinnamon rolls
Breakfast pizza
Pretty wall decoration
We were all slightly disappointed that none of our tempting treats had been touched by wildlife.
The only wildlife we saw all weekend was one noisy crow.
We weren’t awake very long before we noticed eggs and other gifts around the room.
We were surprised that the younger three boys did not notice them.
After breakfast Jere gave instructions on how to match stickers on eggs with gifts. (I think that is how it was.)
Josh is ready.
Checking out their gifts.
Jana got a car…
…key chain.
Packing to go home.
Pictures before we leave.
Can you tell that it is snowing?
With the birthday girl.
On the road.
We had walkie talkies, so those in front warned us that there were deer to the right.
Soon we heard, “What’s up with Dad and Mom?”
Cerwin said, “She’s trying to get a good picture of the deer.”
Couldn’t resist getting a picture of this parked truck.
Pretty barn.
Kristen wanted a picture of this sign – for scrapbooking. (We were now leaving Potter County.)
On the return trip we had Jared and Jesse in the back seat.
I enjoyed listening to several interesting conversations between them.
Jesse was asking Jared questions about God and Heaven.
How old do you think people will be in Heaven?
Probably about thirty.
Do you think there will be babies in Heaven, or will everyone be thirty?
I don’t know, I haven’t died yet.
From Jesse when looking at the clouds: I bet God could build his Kingdom on a cloud if he wanted to.
Then they began looking for objects in the clouds. 🙂
As we neared home, the skies cleared and there was no more snow.
It was a fabulous weekend.
It looks like a very happy Easter! I love the conversations between the two boys — kids have the most wonderful imaginations! And the great shot of the deer reminds me of my favorite kids book from when I was their age — Dash and Dart were two fawns who were always pictured in snow, just like your shot! What a nice birthday for Jana, too!
I loved the conversation between Jesse and Jared – and didn’t let them know I was listening.
That sounds like so much fun. I enjoyed the bits of the boys’ conversation. We used to have a preacher who thought everybody in Heaven will be 33 like Jesus was when He died. I wonder if Tom has seen the baby that we lost? I was only 10 weeks pregnant, but the baby was smaller than that. I don’t know what age he or she is now. As one of the boys said………we don’t know because we haven’t died yet.
There is so much we don’t know – because we haven’t died yet. 🙂
love the red barn in the snow shot ~ and you DID get a good deer pic ~ 😉
Those were both kind of quick shots since either we or the deer were moving.
