Easter Recap

I had such a busy day yesterday that I just couldn't get my Easter post out, but not to be undone...here we go.

The weekend was quite full and I must say I was exhausted Sunday afternoon when all left. I laid down on the couch and fell into a hard sleep. I needed it! I had an outing Saturday morning to attend, baking to do, and I worked two services with the kids at church and attended one over the weekend... hence, age had me pooped.

 After church, I had both kids this year. I also had one of my dearest friends whose husband had to be out of town. He has a defense job and was gone. They have two daughters and the oldest was spending Easter with her boyfriend's family so Tami and daughter Peyton shared Easter dinner with us too. It was fun listening to all Peyton's plans for the future. She is graduating from high school this year.

Oh and church was especially good this year. The music was amazing.

Nothing warms my soul better than my chickadees all with me and cooking and baking and having them around my table.

Here are the family pictures made on the deck Sunday afternoon.

Lindsay, Tyler, Tucker, and Hallie, the Boykin.

Paul Allen and Katie with Gus:)

Mom took the family picture of us, so I got one of her and Tucker.

He is 6 months old now and wearing 9 month clothing. He has put on a growth spurt which might explain the next thing I am sharing.

I had a first last week. I went to a chiropractor. That word rang fear in my head all my life, but I had done something to my shoulder and it simply wasn't getting any better. I have really been hurting for a month. What I did? I don't know! but it was sharp and burning all at the same time and had started to affect my sleep. My husband and daughter have gone to this guy and assured me he was very conservative and wouldn't pop anything I didn't want popped. Turns out he didn't pop anything😁

I can officially say he made it better. I got some kind of machine that vibrated it with some voltage and a shoulder massage last week and chose to go back yesterday. Yesterday, I got another thing I didn't think I would ever do... A massage. 

This girl who didn't think she could ever relax for a massage found it to be pretty darn nice.

Now, I am not ready to add it my list of things to be done often, but I wouldn't say never especially if I do something to my shoulder like this again.

I have a few stitches to share too.

I finished the little house. I didn't add the words or at least not yet. I have a finish in mind and I think I will leave the bottom border off for that finish so stay tuned for that.

I also finished the little bunny with the sunflower. I am totally in love with this bunny and sunflower. I plan to do one more of the bunnies in this book for summer as well, but 

my next stitch will be the June wordplay.

Actually I need to stop stitching and take care of the three finishes that are now sitting in my sewing room.

By the way the weather is just about perfect right now, but this is the coolest Easter in a long time and definitely the coolest one this late in April. I have some weather and outdoor pictures for later in the week and some sewing machine talk.

Happy spring,
Sandy
