Easter Recovery

Well Easter has come and Easter has gone and the children are still happily devouring it's evidence.  It  hasn't all been Joy and celebration though. 

We spent Good Friday back and forth from the doctors.   I went in the morning and Lily and Max in the afternoon.  We had to cancel the sleepover with the cousins because we were not too well.  By Holy Saturday the fevers were gone and only coughing and runny noses remained. 

We attended the Easter vigil to see my brother and sister be confirmed.  That is a long mass and it seemed even longer with Max insisting on sitting on my lap, but not sitting still.  We was fighting falling asleep and it wasn't until Communion that he finally surcumned.  That boy wieghs a lot.

Easter Sunday we spent with family.  First quietly at home with our baskets.   Then to my husbands grandmother's for lunch and finally to my parents for dinner.    At each place we placed Max in a T-shirt that said "big brother" and then waited to see how long it would take for anyone to notice and ask.  At my hubby's grandparents it took about an hour and a half.  And at my only about 15 minutes.  The girls are exstatic.  They had been hoping for this for a while.  Max is realtively oblivious, except that he is extra clingy.  I am just greatful that it is no longer a secret and I can feel sick and tired openly.  Easter  Sunday was a perfect day to share the news of such a blessing. 

Now if we all can just feel better.  Abby was up wheezing and coughing, my nephew is on an inhaler, and I am starting to run out of kleenex.
