Easter Weekend Update

Thanks for all your comments (and the several emails) about the home renovation job. To those of you who have suggested painting the panelling, that's not really a good idea for a couple of reasons. First, it is textured and wouldn't paint well. Secondly it wasn't put up well and there are some gaps that aren't that noticeable with the panelling but would be really noticeable if it was painted.

We had a wonderful Easter weekend and I hope you did too. Nick's parents arrived from Montreal on Friday afternoon and stayed until Monday morning. Wesley was a little shy around them at first, but warmed up quickly. Darcy couldn't wait until they walked up the door. They called to say they were about half an hour away and Darcy wanted to wait by the door until they got to the house. We had a nice dinner out on Friday night, did a lot of shopping on Saturday, then church and a turkey dinner on Sunday. There was even some curly bread involved. Delicious.

I didn't take very many pictures over the weekend and I'm really disappointed I didn't get one of Darcy in her Easter dress. I'll have to get her to wear it again soon (there won't be any argument from her) so I can post it here. So cute. I bought the dress at Winners and the brand name was "Cinderella". I think that was Darcy's favourite part of the dress. She was disappointed on Sunday morning that I had cut off the big cardboard tag with the picture of Cinderella's carriage on it.

There were a few tears yesterday when Grandmaman and Papa drove away. She thinks we need to go visit all of her grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins soon.
