Sad Good Friday

Katie went home today. We are all a little sad. I am not sure if Pete is going to realize she is gone but I sure know he enjoys having her around. Katie and P. went to see Hannah Montana today and when they got home Katie went down to get the mail before she came in the house. Pete stood at the window watching her, yelling and hitting the window because he was so excited to see her. He doesn't even do that with daddy. Katie didn't cry when she said goodbye to us but when she held her brother and said goodbye her eyes teared up and she had to give him back. She kept saying, "I don't want to go. I don't want to leave Pete." It was heartbreaking. Poor kid. It's a tragedy that she has to go through this. It was her decision to move with her mom but she shouldn't have been put in this situation in the first place. Oh well, soon she will be older and busy enough with her own life that it might not phase her as much.

Here are some pictures from our lunch today at Chili's. We fed Pete tortilla chips, mandarin oranges and some vanilla ice-cream from our dessert. That should help the weight problem...Today is Good Friday. At lunch we tried to "celebrate" it's meaning with Katie explaining what happened today and what happened 3 days later. She had basic knowledge of the holiday. I prayed with Pete before his nap today thanking Him for dying for us so we could have such a wonderful life together as a family. I look forward to teaching Pete more about his Savior as he grows up but for now I will just give thanks to Jesus for blessing me like He has. Happy Easter friends and family.
