I love a short school week as much as the next kid, but this long weekend seems a bit strange compared to the Easter weekend last year. Violet is the only member of our family spending the weekend with us, and Uncle Adam and Aunt Leanne don’t have anyone from his family coming home this weekend. Grandma and Grandpa won’t be back from their winter vacation for another five or six weeks, so it seems very quiet compared to the crazy rush during those last couple of weeks before Uncle Adam and Aunt Leanne’s wedding.
That isn’t all bad, since Rowen and I will have more time to spend together, and we won’t have to rush around all weekend. After Mrs. Warren set us free, we had snack time with Mom, Ethan, and Ehlana; and then we biked over to the park to play until dinnertime. There wasn’t a game night at the Inn tonight, but since Violet got home in time to have dinner with us, and Dillon was working; that just gave us time to visit with her and for Mom to do a Magi lesson that Ethan, Ehlana, and I got to do with Violet.
Dillon joined us for the bedtime snack and story, and then I was politely sent off to my room after the twins were tucked into their cribs. I got the hint right away, and though Mom and Dad did stay up and talk with Violet and Dillon for a while, it wasn’t long before there was only one couple left cuddling together in the living room.
I’ve been reading in the archives since getting into bed and cuddling with Mandy; including reading some of the Magi journals that Mom used to put together the Magi Easter story she gave to the Magi Council last year. With everything the Magi back then had to deal with, I think that doing nothing during the events surrounding Jesus’ crucifixion might have been the hardest to handle. I don’t know if I could have been strong enough to endure watching that happen while knowing it was something I had the power to stop. Since He had the same power – and much more – and that’s the point of His choice and sacrifice. Everything Mom and I have been through certainly pales by comparison, but one thing I am thinking about tonight is that Jesus had many times of joy and happiness, and this Easter, I’m very grateful for everything Mom and I now have since coming to Witch Falls.
Okay, that’s enough of deep thoughts for tonight. It’s time to get some sleep, so...
