Easter 2009

Thursday was Emily's Easter party at school. She learned about Jesus and how he died on the cross. This is her version of the story: The "shoulders"(soldiers) had a big, big rope, like this(showing me how they whipped Jesus) and they took off his clothes like this(showing me how they ripped off his clothes, somewhat like the Incredible Hulk) and they hurt his hands and feet on the cross and his arms were like this(arms out to the side on the cross). Then he was in the tomb and the angels came and rolled the big, big rock. And he was gone. He went to heaven. HE'S ALIVE, MOM! Emily and her best friend, Isabella. Bella's daddy is a firefighter...he and Justin argue about who is each other's hero. Emily, Isabella and Emma...her other best friend.

The girls eating their snack...Emily's I'm-eating-a-cookie-don't-take-a-picture-of-me face.

Thursday Aiden also woke up very congested and sounding like he had emphysema. We ended up visiting the doctor today...we got to do a breathing treatment there and another chest x-ray. Lots of fun. Aiden can hardly talk. He's very raspy. And when he does talk, he either is whispering or sounds squeaky, like puberty has hit. He hasn't eaten much in the last two days, but I'm sure the steroid that he is on will fix that soon enough! He's back to breathing treatments every 3-4 hours, as well. Yesterday he spent the majority of the day laying in my lap. I'm glad to see him playing with his sister today. Today(Saturday) I will have to hog tie him to keep him from running all over Papa and Granny's yard. The kids are going to have their Easter Egg Hunt w/them, since we will be visiting Gra and Pop on Easter. Emily hasn't seen Pop since he had his surgery, so she is anxious to check on him and see if he is doing better. Everyday when we pray, she asks that "Pop's heart gets better". So sweet.
