Easter 2008

Today was Easter, Jim and I attended the Sunrise Service it was held at 7:00, held at our church. Hobe Sound Bible Church, Hobe Sound, Florida.

We then later attended Sunday school, and the worship service, which also were very good. There were over 1000 in attendence.

We then walked home and the grandsons came over.

We had the grandsons while mommy went home

to get things ready for our Easter dinner. Aunt Becky had to

work today, so we were waiting for her to get home.

Papa and Easton took a nap while they were waiting.

Ethan and Evan were in our bedroom, as you can see we are still

in boxes. The boys were playing Nitindo games while they were waiting.

Aunt Becky finally made, we got around and went to the beach.

This has been a very busy week for us. Here is some of what has happened this week.

Monday- Evening I went to a Mission Meeting. Some of the ladies from the church meet together at a Dr. Palms place. She has projects to work on to send to the Mission Fields for children. Monday I and one other woman worked on cutting out large flowers, they are going to be making fans with them which each will have a CD for the center of the flower. The other ladies were working on other projects.

Tuesday- afternoon, Jim and I walked to Easton's school for his birthday! They had a party for him here are a few pictures of him.

Mommy took icecream cups too share with all the children, and they added sprinkles on them.
The Teacher made the birthday cake hat for him. Grandma and Grandpa
brought him the balloons.

I think it was cold, what do you think? Then after school grandma and

grandpa took Easton home with them while Mommy, Aunt Becky and his brothers, Ethan and Evan went home to decorate for his birthday. They

then called us and said we could bring him home.

Can you tell what the theme was? Elmo and Curious George!

Here is one of the plates we ate supper off. He wanted to have kids meal

for his birthday so that is what Mommy got him and the rest of us had cheeseburgers, and fries.

Mommy decorated the cake. Great job Mommy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EASTON! Grandma and Grandpa loves you.

Wednesday - afternoon Jim and I were invited to a Fish Fry, it was a lot of fun. The Tuttles from Michigan had it in their beautiful Motor Home. Thank you Tuttles. We had a lot of fun. There were five couples from Michigan that attended. The Tuttles, Burleys, Shearers, Cards and us, the Gerards. It was so tasty, everyone brought something to add to the dinner. It was good to see and spend some time with people from our home area, which they all were.

Then Wednesday evening we went to Prayer Meeting, which following they had a dress rehearsal for their Easter Program. It is something new that they are trying this year. It is called "Journey to the Tomb", they have different scenes, which every five minutes, they will dismiss a small group from the church, they have guides taking a walk through the story of Jesus' last few days. It was beautiful. We are looking forward to the actural presentation. Which is March 21,Friday evening and March 22, Saturday evening. Both evenings start at 7:00. Everyone is Welcome! At the Hobe Sound Bible Church, Hobe Sound, Florida.

Those of you that were envolved in the program you all did a great job and I know it is going to be a great presentation. Thank you for all your hard work. May God Bless you as you do the real thing this week end.

Thursday - morning I went out first thing in the morning to the store, had to pick up a few things, got breakfast from Wendy's for Jim and Becky, she spent the night last evening, and myself. Then Becky and I went to Evan's Easter party, his class were painting wooden eggs with a pencil they were so neat, great job Evan, on your egg. We, Becky and I, helped hide the Easter eggs for Evans class. Those of you that had part in putting the party together, you did a beautiful job. Thank you for all your efforts. It was all enjoyed by the children. Then we had to go to Easton's Easter Hat Parade. It was so cute the children all wore hats that the parents made for them. I did some pictures but was on able to down load them at this time. That is with Evan's class too. Sorry! Hope to post them later. Then I went home cause I had company coming for supper, Nate and Alberta Burley. We had a good time while they were with us for the evening. Then Becky came and picked Jim and I up and brought us to Ruth's, Ruth and the boys were gone for the night. So Jim and I spent the night with her. Thank you for having us Becky, I got to get some blogging done. Yea! We will drop her off at work in the morning.

Friday- Took Becky to work at 6:45 this morning. I don't know what we will do Friday, Good Friday. I am sure we will do something with Becky before the the night is over.

Saturday- Evening we will be going to the "The Journey to the Tomb".

Sunday- of course is Easter Sunday, Sunrise Service at 7:00. Then ending the "The Journey of the Tomb", they are having a special concert for the evening service 6:00. Also looking forward to that.

Well, this was just the basics I gave you of our week. So, yes we are keeping busy.

Thank You, for stopping by. I will hopefully get some more pictures posted later.

Have A BLESSED EASTER! To all of you.
