Happy Easter

I hope everyone had a great Easter! Ours was pretty quiet, much to Cass's disappointment. We did make it to church and went to dinner at a diner Randy really likes in Black Diamond ~ his parents got us an Easter gift certificate there. My back has been giving me some issues the last few days, so Randy was in charge of being the easter bunny and hiding eggs. Cassandra had the brilliant foresight of using plastic eggs instead of coloring eggs and using them as we normally do. It turned out to be a brilliant idea since we cannot find two of the eggs and Randy has absolutely no clue where he could have hidden them.

This evening, we took dinner to Zack's family (the kid who suffered a head injury in a football game). The mom quite her job and takes care of Zack because they didn't like any of the alternatives. It has been 6 months since Zack's accident. He hasn't talked yet. The mom said they keep his cell phone active and play his voice mail message on it sometimes to hear his voice. It is very apparent that Zack can understand what is going on around him, but he just can't respond. He has had a series of strokes. Seeing Zack made me very thankful for the speed of Randy's recovery. At six months, Randy was up walking around and able to communicate at that stage.
