Easter and drama.

A big long truck with a flatbed trailer carrying a backhoe got stuck
at the bridge at the bottom of our driveway/road today. Everyone was
out on their porches and on 4-wheelers checking out the action. It
felt like community. Hah.

So you cross the bridge and the road immediately t's left and right.
Well, the truck was too long, and the radius of the curve, too tight.
So the took the backhoe off of the trailer, and attempted to lift the
trailer up with the backhoe hook, then pulling the truck around the
corner. I don't think they succeeded, but instead just found a way to
back it onto the bridge. It was a lot of ado about not very much, but
it was pretty exciting nonetheless. (smile!)

We had a great Easter with family in from Chicago- Mike and Lisa and
Sonya got in on Wednesday evening and stayed until this morning! A
great long visit that included late nights playing 3 person Mario on
the Wii, starting the process of painting the interior of our house,
getting all the plumbing completed, lots of meals together, a movie
night in the church with UP on the big-screen with bose sound, an
easter egg hunt, celebrating Christ's resurrection together in
church, and lots of cousin time. Lizzie actually came back with Sam
last Sunday and stayed with us until her parents came on Wed. So for
a few nights we had a glimpse of what our life COULD look like in a
few years, should things go that way. Lizzie is 5, so we could very
realistically at some point have a 5 year old, 3 year old, and one
year old... It's busy! But we loved it.

The weather couldn't have cooperated more. We had multiple days in
the high 80s with cool evenings. Beautiful! Although I must admit
that I'm a little nervous about how hot this summer could look!

Over and out for tonight, but wanted to give you a tiny glimpse of
our holiday together.
