Is it Saturday yet?

Wow, I am sooooo exausted. It's only Thursday. Having three boys all day long is so tiring. Drew is on spring break, so we have been doing more than usual. We started the week off by going to the pool at the YMCA (our pool is not heated and the water is still oh so cold). Then Tuesday was the zoo, Wednesday was errand day and grocery day (yes, with all three). Today we took it a little easier. Zion had not had a nap yet all week, so he really needed to get back on some sort of schedule today. Tomorrow is an Easter party and egg hunt in the morning, then we normally go the library on Fridays and maybe the Children's Museum. Then Saturday is a birthday party, but thankfully, Alan will be able to help. Yipeeee!

Though it's been exausting, it's been great having all three of them around all day. Just a brief glimpse into how our summer will be. :->

I got some sad news on Tuesday that my great-uncle had passed away from a heart attack. Though he is a "great-uncle", we never really thought of him that way, to us he was just Uncle Dave. The really sad thing is that his wife, my aunt Nina, and my aunt Nina's Mom (my great-grandmother) have been in the hospital for almost a month now, very sick. My Uncle Dave was the healthy one of the three (they all lived together in New Bedford, MA). So this took all of us by surprise. Pray for my aunt Nina as well, she doesn't know yet that her husband has passed, the doctor didn't want to tell her quite yet for fear of her not making it herself. She needs an operation to live, in Boston, and she is not strong enough yet to make it through the surgery, so they are hoping that in a few days she can get strong enough and have the surgery, then start to recover more. I don't agree with the decision to not tell her, I understand why they made it, but I don't agree with it. I think that when she finds out, and finds out that the truth was hidden from her, she is not going to be very happy. Hopefully all will work out for the good.

The funeral is on Saturday, and up until 2 hours ago, I was going with my parents (who live in Williamsburg). However, my grandparents and my parents felt that I needed to stay home with my family (since I was just in MA visiting 2 weeks ago, leaving my family behind), and also knowing that with how I have been feeling physically lately that this trip my be very hard on me. So, after talking to Alan and my caregroup leaders wife, we decided that it would be best for me to stay home. And Lord willing, I wont be having to go to MA for anymore funerals. My aunt and great-grandmother need to recover!

So, I am thankful to be able to be with my boys this weekend. Though I could really use a nap! :-> I hope that all of you have a wonderful holiday weekend. Remember, "He is Risen!"
