wil and kris (and gracie and ava)

i apologize for another picture post. but i’m the one at the keyboard, so i get to call the shots! heh!

here’s what i did today: (or got done, since i couldn’t physically do this myself)

thus far, this weekend has been great for me…good friday lived up to it’s title for a few reasons. this week being spring break, all of our clients are out of town or not calling, and carolyn was out of town for the latter part of the week. she had us leave a little early every day, but then thursday afternoon she called to say we could leave work at lunch on friday if we were done. wahoo! cass and i grabbed a coffee together to end our week of work on an even better note than it already was on. the weather was fantastic, so i drove straight to the dog park where wil met me with the girls for some playtime and just to unwind on a park bench in the sun.

only being 2 or 3 in the afternoon when we got home, we played outside together- giving our front lawn it’s first mow (even dead grass looks better when it’s mowed short!), seeded it and watered it in the light of the setting sun. i made some dinner and we enjoyed it on the patio (first meal out there this season) and it kind of reminded me of the little italian bistros we loved in europe for some reason.

and of course as you saw above, today, i greatly altered my physical appearance. i feel so light and stylish when i get a haircut. i wish i did it more than once a year, but i don’t think the change each time would be as drastic and uplifting as now. wil likes it, which is good…since he has to look at me every morning and night. : )

this afternoon with another beautiful (not as warm) day, we threw the dogs in the car to go to the d’orazios for cookout, basketball, and decorating easter eggs. they don’t have a dog, but a great yard that the girls played nonstop in. and their little daughter (she’s 4ish, i think?) isn’t afraid of gracie or ava at all, even though she’s about 1/4 of their size. very funny.

a very untraditional good friday and easter weekend, but in a sense, i’ve had a great joy in life… the blessings of being surrounded by beautiful flowering trees and spring weather, a lovely husband and best friend, good company and relationships to spend time with. a love of life not possible without christ’s life.

so there you go.
