Good Saturday

Our “holiday weekend,” as you told Daddy it was Jude, finally arrived after a difficult week, one which saw Mommy slowly, but finally emerge from feeling sick for nearly a week. Both Mommy’s and Daddy’s work week “ended,” only in a technical sense of the weekend arriving, but so much work for each of us to yet get done.

And so, Daddy’s Saturday began as usual with an early rising and off to work, though admittedly it proved to be one of the most reluctant starts Daddy has had in many years—just didn’t want to get out of bed and get going. Daddy worked this morning with Aunt Susan (Maxson) and frankly without her, Daddy would have had much more of a struggle getting through our two hour session. Aunt Susan could tell Daddy was off his game, and she carried the group todayJ.

After Daddy’s morning session, Daddy had to hurry to the bank and the pharmacy, and then rush to get home in time for our lunch date with Grandma, GiGi and GiPa. OMG—the two of you were decked out like a little prince and princess, Mommy outdid herself and had you both dressed as though you stepped right out of a children’s fashion magazine. Ms. Bodhi you were decked out in a dress and looked like a ballerina, and Mr. Buddha you had your fashion-fit white dress shirt and striped pants and deck shoes—wow, it is truly indescribable how incredible beautiful a pair of children you are!!! Mommy finished dressing and Daddy instantly wanted to run-off with her and fulfill amorous intentions (but Mommy wouldn’t have itJ).

We met at Pastariffic where GiGi and GiPa treated us to an Easter weekend lunch (which was delicious) and where Grandma doted after you, Emilia Bodhi, and GiGi and GiPa doted after you, Jude Liam. It was a double treat, as Mommy and Daddy actually had an opportunity to enjoy a lunchJ free of our responsibility to “dote after” little ones.

After lunch, we all went to Grandma’s where the Easter Bunny had been spotted earlier in the day, and sure enough there were Easter eggs everywhere marked with “J’s” and “B’s” filled with candy and money and assorted treatsJ. The two of you had an absolute blast, and for the remainder of the night Mommy and Daddy had to contend with candy monsters (especially you, Jude Liam, though you are so damn precious because you are the most generous child—with a willingness to share---Daddy has ever seen [you remind Daddy much of Brother Sean Franky’s personality, Jude Liam]).

The two of you, of course, couldn’t conclude the day without making your own Easter Eggs with the caring touch of Mommy to guide you—and that was after Mommy enlisted your assistance in walking Jasper (Aunt Diana’s dog) and bringing him home for Bodhi to “babysit” again tonight.

Daddy was able to sneak some watching of the NCAA college basketball games while Mommy entertained the two of you coloring eggs and planting a spring indoor plant starter. A busy, fun, loving day—and when the two of you wore down to “night, night” time, Mommy and Daddy (especially Daddy) sneaked a kiss from each other, and then went on to do some more work to try to catch up with last week invading the weekend. And of course, Mommy also enlisted Daddy’s help in inspecting if there were signs yet that the Easter Bunny found her way to West Walnut StreetJ. “Night, night!”

PS  Daddy forgot, we ended our night by putting tattoos on one another :)

Bodhi and Buddha, the two most precious babes in the entire world!!!
