Luke was up super early again this morning. Liz had hidden some Easter eggs filled with little toy animals around the house, and he loved searching for those. He also got an Easter basket with a few things in it. After breakfast we went for a walk at the nature park. Easter lunch was at my parents’ house and we left early so he could take a long nap in the car. We took a scenic route through Chapel Hill and College Grove before getting on the interstate. Unfortunately he woke up for a long stretch before falling asleep pretty close to the house. We had a very nice lunch though. He was very happy to see Wild Dog and Pop’s garden. He also loved climbing stairs and eating blueberry tart. After lunch we walked to the playground down the street and he liked that. We drove home and he read books with Liz in the back seat. He and Liz did a video chat with her parents while I prepared dinner. He was happy to have the last of the apple pie for dessert. Now he is taking a bath. After he goes to bed I will drive up to the Mountain. Busy week of work ahead!

Today is Liz’s birthday but unfortunately it has rained most of the day and Liz has felt a bit sick. This morning we got breakfast to go from the Dotted Lime in Columbia. Luke loved eating waffles. We played until Luke had lunch and during his failed nap attempt I returned to the Dotted Lime to pick up lunch for me and Liz. This afternoon there was a little break in the rain so we went to the playground in Spring Hill. Then it started raining again so we went to Home Depot. Luke enjoyed that. Next we went to Viking Pizza to pick up dinner. Luke didn’t want to wait until we were home to eat his, but had to. I ate all of mine and am now feeling a bit sick. Luke went to bed early due to his lack of a nap, and I’m sure Liz and I will too.

I was in no rush to get going this morning given the cold. I did after breakfast though and did a little work on the green house’s driveway. The floods really did a number on it, and I need to come up with a more permanent solution. I went to city hall and picked up the plats for our new lots. Back at the cottage I packed up then drove down to the courthouse in Jasper to have the plats recorded. I next went to the E911 office to get an official address but it was closed. I drove back up to the Mountain and had lunch at the Goat Market. On my way out of town I stopped by to see Debbie at her store.

The drive home was uneventful save for some construction just before the interstate in Manchester. Back at home Luke was napping. It was great so see him when he woke up. We played together until Liz got off work. Dinner was nice and he kept us entertained. He did great at bath and bedtimes. I went to Kroger tonight and it wasn’t fun, but I got what we needed.
