Life with the P-Ds

Lots happening and not much time to update the blog!  Our apologies.  Here are some snippets of life with a promise of pictures in the not too distant future.

• Memorial Service #4 today.  It will be nice to have more history here when these roll around.
• Katie’s spring break is this week.  We are getting out of town for a couple of days leaving tomorrow after church for Niagara Falls.  Oh, and it is our 18th wedding anniversary, too!  Yes, we really did get married on April Fool’s day!
• I was in Atlanta last weekend to run my fourth half-marathon.  Wow – winter training and some nasty upper respiratory gunk did not make for a fun run!  But I finished and had a great time seeing some of the ATL gang. 
• We are doing a “lessons, hymns and anthems” sort of service tomorrow for Palm/Passion Sunday.  I like what we’ve put together and hope it flows as well tomorrow as it does in my mind and on paper.
• Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Sunday to come… and a finance committee for Jeff and deacons meeting for me just in case we don’t have enough to do.

That’s it for now.  Pictures from Niagara when we get back - I promise!

Are you tired of posts about weather?  Oh well, here is another!  Last week it was warm enough to melt some of the snow and we actually saw the grass.  Katie was ecstatic!  That quickly came to an end this past weekend.  When Katie looked out the window on Sunday morning, saw the fresh snow blanketing everything (the plows hadn’t been by yet) and said “I thought is was Spring!” 

Our days have been full… Katie was sick all last week, we had another funeral, more listening groups… yet, as we drove home on Sunday I said to Jeff: “this is such a gift to us.” 

Here are some pictures from the big snow on Valentine’s day.  Lots of fun had by all – we’re still trying to figure out how to make a darn snow person!  The snow has been too dry.  We’ll get it figured out someday!
