Day 104, Friday, April 13, 2012

Today was Rosie's moving day.  She moved to a supported living condo with the goal of independent living.  Bob Kleinheksel, Kathy Grasmeyer, and Roy Stevens helped Mike & Amal Stewart move Rosie's things into the condo.

The U-Haul that moved Rosie's belongings.  I wasn't home, as I had to take Mahree to get a booster shot---I don't think I would have been able to handle this move from our home very well!

Kathy seemed to be having a good time!

 The Condo

Rosie & Mom--Mom's putting up a brave front!

Cheryl & Kathy are attempting to fold a fitted bottom sheet!

Chuck E Cheese!!

Leaving Chuck E Cheese's after the nicest party we ever had here---it wasn't as busy as usual!!

 I picked up the 4 youngest kids from school so we could go to Chuck E Cheese to celebrate Sam's 6th birthday!  Mike drove Cody, Simeon & Meika around so the rest of us could attend the party!

After the party I brought Mahree, Spencer, Merica,                                               and Sam to see Rosie's new condo! 

I took another family portrait of the Stewarts before they headed back home....it was a nice visit!

Day 99, Resurrection Sunday, April 8, 2012

Today is such an important day in the life of a Christian--even more important than Christmas on many levels!  Jesus is Alive!!   

                     Even on Resurrection Sunday, Easter, we had to take turns driving Simeon around---I took him to the airport--he also watch Polar Express on the DVD player..

After everyone got home, we went on our annual "Easter Basket" (bags) hunt in the backyard!  Everyone joined in the fun--even Tim, Kara, Shonda, Tyler, & Katelyn!

Meika considered Cody her responsibility!!

Kara, Meredith (partially hidden) and Cody watched me open up my surprise Easter bag from Bonnie---love the card!

Tyler checked out Sam's John Deere Jeep!

The search for the eggs---Mahree asked if we could hunt for eggs this year---I made a fast trip to WalMart while everyone ate, and "hid" eggs all over the yard!
