Hi Baby Girl –

So, I’m recovering from my hysterectomy – had “Lima,” my uterus, fallopian tubes and cervix removed. Ugh and sigh… It’s been hard – the surgery went smoothly, but they took out a bunch of stuff – and so, there is recovery and healing to be done. And that takes quite a bit of time…

So I am going to try to use some of my time to catch up on blogging to you.

Easter was a very special day – starting with a beautiful service with our church. I tried to sing sitting in front of choir (hard for me to stand). Daddy Jim sang, and you sat with Julie, Madey and Dan. We left a little early from church because I needed to, and we came home to have lunch. Then Mad, Dan and you scootered around the block. It’s so fun to watch the 3 of you play together… you are all so special to each other.

When you got back home, you all hunted for the special treats (baskets and eggs) the Easter Bunny hid all over the backyard… so fun! Finally, we sat on the back patio for the beautiful afternoon and chatted – you, Madey and Dan carved and whittled sticks into spears, while all 5 of us, and soon Julie joined us, chattied. What a beautiful day – weather and otherwise! Here are some pictures from the day:
