Easter Sunday...

Easter Sunday, Easter Sunday, Easter Sunday. WOW! What a busy and crazy day! I don't remember it being this way last year. It was overwhelmingly crazy with things to remember and do. We had over 40 kids from our bus route that most of them were out of control! Our usual Jr. Church leader was out of state so the normal calm was not there. Marc was hit in the head by an Easter egg during class and was carried into the service crying! We had 130 people in attendance at church this morning. Praise the Lord! We are glad to have so many there today. I need a nap- I can only imagine about James!

I am excited about the Ladies meeting Tuesday! It will be fun!

Computer was broken.

We had our computer in the shop all week. We just got it back today.

I had a great birthday on Sunday April 5th. James got chinese for me Saturday for dinner and Sunday he took me out to a mexican restaurant. It was so good. I got a new pillow and a generous Wal-mart gift card from James and the boys. As some of you know I have had a hard time sleeping so the pillow is really perfect for me. (The doc gave me Ambien since then and it works like a charm!)I love the birthday card the boys gave me. This year they were all able to sign their names on my card. I love it! I didn't expect a gift from James and the boys because I just got a dishwasher and range. I love them.

Sunday we celebrated our 1 year anniversary of James being the full-time Pastor at TBC. We celebrated with a cake and ice cream social after church. I tried so hard to not eat cake, because I am trying to lose a few lbs before our big 10 year anniversary celebration this summer, but one lady noticed I wasn't eating and made up a plate for me! Ha!

We are gearing up for Easter sunday services at church. We are excited. I will do a post after Sunday to report how it went. Unfortunately my digital camera is broken so I can't take pics of anything for now. Sorry.

Poll results...

For those of you who voted in the "How long can James go without playing basketball" poll... James just played his first game of 1-on-1 with a friend who knows of his injury and was careful. I figured it to be 7 1/2 weeks post-surgery. Congratulations to those who guessed 3 months- 5 months correctly!!

Matthew is 3 years old!!! (Pics of party!!)

February Youth Rally Pics

We recently hosted the Central Indiana Youth Rally at our church. We had over 350 in attendance! It was a fun time.

Bored...

This week has been rather boring. I was bummed it was cold again after a few days of warm that teased us. I was a bachelorette for 2 days when James was at the Annual Bus & Soul-winning Conference in Avon. We had fun and made the most of our free time.

I always like to keep the blog updated but there was just not much to say for this week. I painted my nails! That was about the extent of it all. That is why I don't Twitter. It would be SOOO boring! It would read like, "I'm in the living room." "I made the bed." "Matthew just spilled his sippy cup." Let me know and if that puts you on the edge of your seat, I will tweet!!

My mom's bday, Matthew's 3rd bday and my birthday are all coming up in a couple weeks. We are looking forward to that. Matthew said he wants an Astronaut for his birthday. I'm not sure exactly if Buzz Aldridge is available for 3 year old's birthday parties. I will have to look into that! Ha!

ps... those of you who voted on the basketball poll on the left, James has NOT played yet. I will keep you posted. We are into one month now.

James' Drs. appt.

James went back to Dr. Chen yesterday to get his sutures taken out. He had 16 sutures to have removed. That went well. No problems. Then Dr. Chen came in and looked at James' range of motion. Dr. Chen is not happy with his lack of range of motion. They say the first 6 weeks is what determines your motion and after 6 weeks it is pretty set in that range. So Dr. Chen sent James to a hand therapist 2 days a week for 6 weeks to help get that range of motion we need. Usually with an elbow surgery they don't do any therapy but he needed it. They also took 2 X-rays to determine everything was in place and looked good.
