| | Just saw some great pictures of my kids friends at her Church. They had a petting zoo. I thought for a second, well that sense of community IS something I miss about being part of a church...but then I thought about today. I have wonderful friends, 4 generations that gather together for special occasions. We had this huge feast and the kids gathered eggs, we popped out the kiddie pool and they swam. I LOVE that, that we all get together. That we have such a large crowd of people and kids, and even our parents. Year to year it varies how many of us get together. We have ebbs and flows in our involvement with one another but it's ok. It is one thing that holds me here. The sense of community we have with each other, that getting together with people you have known for so long. The fact that when we get together their is a whole Horde of kids for my daughters to play with. I will add pictures as soon as the baby goes to sleep. Speaking of the baby sleeping, the past two nights she has not night nursed at all of her own volition. Last night she even slept the whole night in her own bed. More about last night in another, post.
Easter, we aren't religious. I don't believe in the Christian god or Jesus Christ. We celebrate Easter but we are actually celebrating new life and plants. I would like to incorporate that even more into our celebration. I suppose it is appropriate that this evening DH planted two new trees in the front yard. I also tend to call it Spring Celebration. I do still say easter since I grew up calling it that, plus some one was telling me that Easter comes from the word Eastra or something like that, said it has pagan roots. I need to look it up.
We also went to my moms house after some arguments with her. I felt bad getting into an argument with her on a Holiday, but all ended well.
