3 weeks came and went relatively quickly considering that our little Vienna was in a full arm cast, which made daily activities just a little more tricky with more maintenance required. She was a good sport throughout though. It came off a few days before Easter weekend which was a nice treat.
Vienna was born on Good Friday last year so technically this was her second Easter (it came a lot later in the year this time). It has been neat this Spring (not being pregnant) to notice all the signs of Spring and new life. Vienna was born at this very time of new life. It has brought a whole new meaning to my Savior's resurrection and the significance of His life. I'm grateful to have this knowledge in my life.
On Good Friday, after future Dr. Davis cleaned my teeth (he did great and despite being in a completely different clinic) he ROCKED! we went to Lakeview cemetery (which is huge and beautiful) to see Daffodil Hill. It was rainy but from the car it was just as pretty.
Saturday we went down to Columbus to the temple, with some families from our ward and participated in a series of sealings. It was special to be there with Mike. Columbus has so much character and is much more modern than Cleveland. It has Pita Pit, Tim Hortons and an amazing Japanese supermarket called Tensuke. It made me so happy walking in the door because it was the closest thing to actually being in Japan that I have experienced EVER! They even had a little restaurant attached to it so of course we had to partake and oh, we wanted everything on the menu. It was a tough pick, but with going to the temple monthly we should be able to try everything at least once over these next 3 years. We also bought a few Japanese food necessities. It was a long but wonderful day!
Our Home teacher invited us to their house for a delicious ham dinner after church with another family. Before that we went to Eggshell Land (see pics and details below) and my sweet little primary children sang Beautiful Savior in sacrament meeting with the ward choir while doing sign language and they did so good.
Oh and just a side note...Vienna is taking a few steps on her own so keep posted for the official WALK.
The Easter Bunny was good to us
Treats even for Vienna
Read the sign closely, there are 40 180 eggs, this is the 53rd year, the theme is UP. They are REAL EGGS!!!
These signs are hard to read but they say where the eggs come from and thanks to the Fire department for the overhead pictures etc.
Honestly astounding...feed the eyes!
Time for Vienna's first try of a chocolate cvoered marshmallow egg. (PS - see the little sheep, Bree and I made those a few years back at our General Conference craft time, miss you Bree and all our fun crafts)
She did pretty good, but didn't even finish 1
These little girls were so good with Vienna the whole time, it was so relaxing for me.
The hosts, The Hatch's, who will be leaving us in June to Texas.
