We had a really nice Easter weekend. Kyle was off from work on Thursday and Friday. After travelling much of the past two weeks, he was happy to lie low and enjoy being at home. We prepared for my parents' upcoming visit by doing some cleaning and rearranging. I am having weird feelings about their seeing where we live. I didn't realize it until recently, but this will be the first time in a year and a half of married life that my mom has seen how I keep a home. Before now I always had a room in a house shared with a few roomates, and once we were married, Kyle and I were always visiting my parents' house rather than the other way around. It kind of feels backward to be changing sheets and laying out towels for my parents. For my 26 years of life the house has been my mom's domain, and all of a sudden she is on my turf now.
We had intended to take a day trip to somewhere in Belgium this weekend, but could never really get ourselves excited about the idea. Finally we just decided that we were only taking a trip to be able to say we had gone somewhere over the weekend, when in reality we were happy to just have take-out Chinese and watch a movie on the couch. So that is what we did -- and thoroughly enjoyed it I might add!
Today we went to the Lodges' house to hang out. Our friends Paola and Mat Heim were also there with their three boys -- Lucas (5), Theo (3), and Hugo (9 months). It was quite a crazy house with 7 boys under 7 running around. The Easter bunny had to make a later appearance due to some bad behavior at church earlier this morning, so we were there when the boys hunted for Easter eggs. What a heartwarming sight!
