Amanda and I attended Brent's Secret Movie Night a couple of weeks ago. All we knew is that it was an 80s movie, fun, and it's not typically on any streaming platforms. I had no clue, and was hoping it was one I would like! Sure enough, I had not seen it before....it was 'The Sure Thing.' It was pretty good!
Clara and I getting ready for our family trip to Yellowstone this summer.
Clara sang in church on Palm Sunday.
On Monday the Scouts got to see some exotic animals at Concordia College. I think it may have been through the college's Exotic Animal Care and Husbandry Club. Clara thought it was pretty cool. She was petting the bearded dragon in this photo and they also saw a snake and tarantula.
I haven't stopped blubbering since Wednesday's launch of the Artemis II mission! Clara and I have been following along with the developments for at least a year now and were very excited for launch day. I raced home from work to try and make it in time. I found Clara streaming NASA's YouTube channel and FaceTiming with auntie and Oliver when I did make it home. So, we got to watch it together!
I've been continuing to follow along the video transmissions along their journey. So exciting.
Maundy Thursday was Clara's First Communion during the church service.
Clara and Micah
The Sunday School leaders asked the kids to do the readings during the service. Clara volunteered and ended up being chosen to read the gospel, which was John 13:1-17. All the readers gathered before the service to run through everything.
(The bucket and gloves were the pastor's props for his sermon). Clara did such a great job!
The girls had Friday off of school and Dana and I were off of work. Unfortunately Dana came down with a bad cold on Thursday, so he was lying low on Friday.
The girls and I got our nails done in the morning and in the afternoon dyed our eggs. Brynn hung out with us for a bit before she headed into work.
Our church put together a Lent reading guide. We had gotten horribly behind, so I got caught up by reading the remaining versus to Clara while she was dyeing her eggs.

Oops!
What Saturday looked like. :-/
Clara opened up her Easter basket before church on Sunday.
The art installation at our church. It was so beautiful. Dana was feeling worse yet on Sunday so it was just the girls and me. We tried to get to church really early to get a good spot. There was one service prior to the 9:00 one that we planned to attend, and the narthex was already filling up quickly when we arrived. They had everything organized really well, though, and we did get a good seat. We could smell all the flowers in the front.
We had some time after church, before we left for Tessa and Chad's to celebrate Easter there.
And a visit from the Easter Bunny!
We played Pictionary, of course. We won....of course.
Thank you to Tessa and Chad for hosting us for a beautiful Easter celebration.
Dana was starting to feel better yesterday, thankfully, but seemed like he had some conjunctivitis he didn't want to spread around, so I took Clara to her Scout meeting. It was fingerprinting night!
