Life, It Happens!

Well, it's been more than several weeks since I've written anything (sorry to family). Between sicknesses and travel, life in general has taken a lot of our time lately over the past 4 weeks. Not much schooling has been going on. Lots of life lessons though, especially about being patient and obedient, for our little one, as well as for us too.

For Easter, we headed to Scranton, PA to visit Great-Grandparents and other family. We stayed at the lovely Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel. We specifically stayed there because of our little train lover. The tracks are directly behind the hotel and we requested a room with a view of the tracks! Apparently, they get that request alot. The hotel was orginally a train station and was built in the early 1900's. The hotel and it's rooms are beautiful and were so clean! Easter morning we had an Easter egg hunt in the hotel room. Anthony and his cousin Lucas had fun hunting all the eggs.

The day prior, we visited with family and checked out the park & tree house at Nay Aug Park http://www.nayaugpark.org/ . We loved it, except Daddy was a little leary because it was sooo high! Here is Anthony with his Great-Grandma Helen.

The trip to Scranton was a great trip and Anthony loved hanging out with his cousins Lucas and Weber! However, it seems like so many in our family are getting older (all at once!) and their health is not so well. It's a bit sad at times to see them this way. Even my own Mother, was in the hospital on Mother's Day, as well as her own Mom. My Mom asked me what I wanted for my birthday, I told her all I wanted was everyone to be healthy and not in the hospital! It's such a sobering reminder that our life is so short and trival things in this life hardly matter. I should be living my life more vigorously for Christ and stop letting the little things bring me down or allow them to put fear in my heart. Anywho, Happy Easter & Happy Mother's Day!
