Easter 2011

Easter this year was very different but it was wonderful! Normally Easter Sunday for us is very busy and filled with lots of family. So needless to say this year was a little quieter! On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday we had Holy Week services with the youth. (check out Chris' blog for more about that) Friday afternoon we took a little trip to The Woodlands to do a some shopping and to see some of Chris' old friends. On Saturday we took Bryson to see Hop and then we went home and died eggs and had a practice egg hunt so he would be prepared for the real thing! Sunday morning our church had an Easter egg hunt for the kids and they had an Easter musical in the service! Bryson had so much fun at the egg hunt! He is a professional egg finder! After church we went to our pastor's house and had lunch with him and his family and after that we went home for naps! Even though we really miss our families and wish we could have spent Easter with them we really had a great weekend just us and our little family! The best part of our weekend though was getting to tell Bryson about why we really celebrate Easter! Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend as much as us! Here are some pictures of the past couple of days!

Our New Life!

I thought that it would be much easier to blog once we got all settled in to our new life here in Huntington but the truth is I find it very hard to come up with things to write about. Our life is pretty much the same except for the fact that we are here and everyone else is not. We couldn't have asked for a better place to move to! The church and all the people are great, the trees are great and best of all the lack of wind is great! If you want to come visit just give us a call! We've got plenty of room!

Chris, Bryson and I are all adjusting very well! Bryson started potty training last week! He picked it up pretty quickly but I'm sure it will take a few months for him to get it 100%. He has made some new friends, Lexi, Jacee, Slade and Wyatt! He loves playing in the backyard and riding his bike! He is talking like crazy! He says I miss you but he really means I love you?! I'm not sure how he got it confused? I have started walking at 5 am with some of the ladies at church! Next week we start running! I'll keep you updated on how that's going, if I never talk about it again then it probably didn't go anywhere! I also have made some new friends! And I am in the process of planning something for the girls in our youth ministry here. I am very excited to get things going with that! We had a girls night the other night and went to dinner and came back to my house to watch a movie! It was a lot of fun! Chris is really adjusting to the new church very well! He fits in good with the staff members and is starting to plan a lot of fun things for youth this summer! He goes and plays basketball with some guys every week in the gym at our church. Other than that he just reads a lot and hangs out with me and Bryson!

*We can't forget about Embry! He is doing very good too! He is having fun playing in the yard!*

Here are some pictures of our trip to the Lufkin Zoo! Bryson and I went with some new friends of ours for a play date!

This is Bryson's friend Slade!

Well that's all I've got for now! I will try very hard to keep the blog updated and to remember to take more pictures!
