March – Celebrating on the weekends..!

March was a month full of celebrations… with friends and family. Just a week after the operation we decided to go to Amanda’s birthday party after church. We went mainly so the girl’s could see Matthew since Elizabeth was worried about him after the surgery. She was so interested in his short arm and had a bunch of questions but most of all she was excited that she could touch him and he was no longer in pain. Amanda was a little bit more hesitant about touching his arm but she has always been shyer around him.

Two weeks after Matthew’s operation I had a reunion with friends from Faith back when I was part of the youth group. Unfortunately, Matthew was still pretty sore so he stayed back at my parent’s house resting. I had a blast just catching up and visiting with everyone. I can’t wait to do it again sometime soon. The party started around 1:00pm and I didn't get home until around 10:00pm. It was nice to just have a relaxing day with friends… and it was just like old times where we could just sit and visit for hours.

And to think.. Shea was our "leader"

Just part of the group... we were missing a lot of the core group...

The next weekend we decided to have a barbecue at our house with friends on Friday evening. It started out just inviting another couple but it quickly grew to most of our mutual friends on that side of the water… which includes our small group and neighbors. I had a lot of fun playing hostess and Matthew LOVED being able to barbecue for everyone. Of course, he did various types of meat like they would do in Argentina. I was stuffed after eating all of the good food that everyone brought. After dinner, we visited and then played a couple rounds of Apples to Apples. I was exhausted by the time we went to bed but it was such an enjoyable night.

The last weekend in March was Easter Sunday. We didn't have a huge celebration other than worshiping God for the amazing gift he has given us. After church everyone went back to my parents for a barbecue and Easter egg hunt. Since there was no youth group we were able to go home early and actually have a Sunday evening relaxing at home.
