Easter Break


Things have been very hectic around our lives recently. Since we are on our Easter break starting today, I finally have time to breathe and reflect. We are getting down to the wire on my production at school. We have two weeks left until we open and it is getting very scary. I have faith that we will be ready and have wonderful show, but there is just so much to do between now and then. The kids have been doing fairly well. They just need to get memorized. Most of the work that need to be done is technical. Painting sets, setting light, getting costumes etc. This has been the stuff that I take for granted when putting on a show in community theatre because there is always someone else doing it. Now that it is all me, I never will take it for granted again. Not to mention preparing for spring concerts with my choirs and bands and putting together the music for our Hawthorne Players fund raise show. Lord, give me strength!

Jennifer has been great through all of this. My long hours at school means that she has to make special arrangements for Christopher and try to run the house without her husband for a while. I Love You!

Christopher is doing well in preschool and getting more talkative everyday. He talks almost constantly from the time he gets up in the morning to when he goes to bed at night, which by the way, most of the time is still in our bed. He has been loving getting outsie during our weather, not so much today with it being 30 degrees right now. I have big Daddy/Christopher plans for the summer. Like taking him to a Cardinals game, teaching him to catch a baseball. All the stuff that makes being a Daddy fun.

This is the time for Easter when Jesus rose from the dead. We like to remind ourselves of Christ's passion by watching Mel Gibson's movie "Passion" or "Jesus Christ Superstar. Doing something to remind us of His suffering for us.
If you get a chance, visit my friend Happi's blog to read some very good insight's to Christ's Passion.
