Last weekend's Easter

I didn't mean to take so long to write about Easter last weekend, but it is what it is.  We had decided that we would drive separately to my in-laws so that Andrew would have the freedom to stay longer without worrying about getting back for the kids' commitments, or my level of irritation that tends to set in after 48 hours of being there.  My in-laws are truly wonderful people, but we just function very differently.  Anyway, Andrew left the afternoon of Good Friday, and I stayed home and picked up the house.  I truly appreciated the quiet and alone time, and I know everyone there enjoyed the extra time together.  I got to sleep in Saturday and then headed over.  We had church first thing on Sunday morning, then had breakfast out.  We had a very nice afternoon, and all worked together to make the meal.  Andrew's brother was over to visit for just a couple of hours, and that is plenty.  Easter day was an absolutely gorgeous weather day, and in fact the only really great one we've had in a few weeks.  Monday after breakfast I hit the road with Robert and Catherine, and Thomas remained behind with Andrew to continue to help with things there.  Driving that far myself tends to make me nervous, but we had a fairly uneventful trip home.  The three of us sat and relaxed Monday evening, and we all just really enjoyed that.  All in all, it was a very nice holiday.
