EASTER SUNDAY

we went and picked my dad up first thing in the morning. my mom was feeling much better... thanks goodness. we came to my house and watched the kids going through their easter baskets. they both ate candy for breakfast. i figure it's ok once a year. we just hung out until church. my dad came to church with us. it was so neat to be able to show him off to everyone in my ward. they were all so impressed with how well he is doing. after church we came home and had the yummiest dinner i have had in a LONG time! we didn't have lobster, but we grilled shrimp, crab, and asparagus. my mouth is watering just thinking about how good it was. my mom also made her delicious potato salad. darrel took my parents back to the hospital last night. my dad had all of his therapists today for the last time. i can't believe he gets to leave tomorrow. if i really sit and think about how long he has been in there, it is hard to believe. thank goodness it has gone by fairly fast. i showed my dad all of the blogs that my family and i have done about him. he is so thankful to everyone for all of their prayers, love, support, and for taking the time to read about how he is doing. i know that he got better so quickly because of all the care and concern that everyone has shown. thanks again! we all appreciate it so much!

they both have their mouths stuffed full of candy.
we were running late, so i really didn't get any good pics of the kids. notice how ryan was trying to sneak the ds to church.
