We had a lovely Resurrection Day today. First thing this morning, before leaving for church, we noticed that Grandpa and Austin were matching! Aren't they both looking good?
When we arrived at church I noticed that no one walking into the building was wearing a hat, so I lost my nerve right then and there and left my hat in the car! Once inside there were quite a lot of hats, mostly huge and fancy, but the majority of women did not wear one. Besides, if I had held Austin he would have ripped it right off my head, and then what would my hair look like? I wasn't taking any chances!
But for you curious ones, here's what I would have looked like in my hat.
And here's what Dick would have looked like in it, hahaha!
The children's choir at church sang two songs, and I must admit it gave me tears. While it felt wonderful to have no responsibilities for Easter service music for the first time in ages, I really felt like I wanted to sing with some kids again. I'm sure I will again someday.
After church we had fun taking pictures. Some of these are mine, the better ones are probably Anthony's camera.
This evening Anthony grilled some tilapia and asparagus on the grill, and Lori made some scrumptious roasted garlic potatoes in the oven.
Austin couldn't sit still for long, not even in the swing, so Lori was walking him all over the place. She has more energy than I do, but I'm working on it!
Remember the big bushes in the one corner of the yard that I showed last fall, the ones with a little alcove in back which I said we'll call "Austin's Alley"? I discovered what those bushes are now - forsythia.
After eating we Skyped with Lisa, George, and Sophie. She wanted to see Grandma in her pink hat, but she got to see Grandpa in it too!!! We will actually be getting to see her in two weeks!! Lisa, George, Sophie, and Jeremy are coming to State College for the weekend to celebrate Dick's 60th birthday! We're hoping some of our other kids will be able to join us too.

I love that first picture of Austin on Grandpa's lap. That is a great picture! It looks like it was a beautiful day for a cookout in State College too. Chad cooked out for us which made the meal rather easy.
