can you hear that?

We had a very busy weekend with family. My sweet Dad came into town and on Saturday we went to a friend's house with a heated pool. Yes folks, many of you know we have our own pool, but it is not heated and until that thermometer hits at least 79 degrees, this Florida girl ain't goin' in! I digress. It was wonderful seeing my Daddy again. We had a great visit with lots of food and laughter.

Now I want you to turn off the sounds around you and tell me what you hear.

Listen carefully.

Do you hear it now?

It's the sound of silence.

The sound of having only one lonely child at home.

Today Anna Grace and Kai headed back to school. They were pretty wild excited to be seeing their teachers and friends again. Anna Grace was a bit hesitant as I dropped her off in the classroom. (I could tell because she wasn't making eye contact with me unless I asked her to.) I'll be saying extra prayers for her this morning. Kai's energy level had peaked at about 7:30 a.m., so I'm hoping he was on the downward slope. I'm praying for him. And there's also a few extra prayers being thrown in for their teacher, who probably will now not be enjoying the same peace and tranquility silence I am hearing now.

Today it's back to the same old...same old. I love it! AJ and I doing absolutely nothing today! Well, we did run a few errands, but that's it. Just gonna hang out and do nothing. Maybe now I can go back to my regular blogging.

Oh, before I forget!! Make sure you come back around because there's a giveaway coming up sometime this week in celebration of what better be if I wanna remain sane Kai's last doctor visit in Orlando on Wednesday and of course, a very small thank you to show my immense gratitude for your prayers for my sweet boy and girl during these weeks of craziness.

Now I will leave you with some family pictures of Easter. Enjoy!

Easter morning with three of our six blessings.

Ayi with her Godchild, Kai.

Big brothers also make great Godfathers!
