Happy Easter everyone!

Today was busy, though not overwhelming.  We went to church and it turned out to be a great church. I will probably continue going. The people were friendly, Derrick enjoyed the youth church and I picked up Xavier as he was chasing a little girl into an elders lap…lol

We went to IHOP for lunch which was nice but REALLY crowded!  We then headed home so Xavier could take a nap…after the nap we went to the Cape Fear Botanical Garden. It was really nice there, despite not a lot of flowers blooming. I got some great shots of the boys and some nature (see below and on Flickr).

 After that we headed home. Like I said, nothing big but we had fun regardless. 

Geno is doing well. He called today and he’s enjoying some time away from work in Qatar. It’s like a recreational trip the soldiers take for an extended weekend. He’s been there since Thursday and may be returning back to the compound sometime this week. He’s still planning on coming home for the reunion at the end of July.  

I just realized that we have only spent one Easter with Geno and that was the first one.  He was in Iraq for the 2nd one, in CA training for the 3rd and again in Iraq for this one.  I’m going to have to make him a HUGE basket of Jelly Belly’s, tuna and chicken packets and maybe even some fudge.

Well, I hope everyone had a great Easter and send me some pictures!!!!
