Thank you Island Queen this was fun.

About My Nephew Ethan and My Sister Lis

I want to talk about my Little Nephew Ethan.

He is a very special boy, with a lot of challenges.

I wish for the best for him. He and his mom are going thru so much right now. He has CP, deaf/blind, and was just diagnosed with seizures. He is really struggling right now.

He is very handsome and has the cutest smile. His smile is infectious. Lately he has been very fussy. Nothing seems to console him. I wish there was something I could do to help.

Ethan may not be able to do a lot of things, but he has brought a lot of joy to us all.

I know I live kinda far from my family but I love them all.

Now a Little about my sister Lis.

My sister is a very special lady. She is doing all she can with Ethan and she also takes care of my older sisters kids. Lis has raised them from toddlers. They are now in college and graduating high school, and has a teenage daughter.

I can't believe how much she does and how much she is involved in. I hope she knows how special she is to be able to do everything she does.

I know we all have challenges, for example I have 2 boys that are ADHD, and Bi Polar. But what Lis goes thru so much more.

My hat goes off to her and I want her to know how much we all care and LOVE her for all she does.

I love you sis, Thank you for all you do, and for taking the time to talk to me as much as you do.

I know it is a little early, but.............

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY FROM ME TO YOU.

Easter MEME

1. What are your Easter traditions?I would take construction paper, and cut out bunny feet, put them on my boys bedroom floors and it would guide them to their Easter Baskets. We also boiled and colored Easter Eggs. I would buy New Easter Outfits.

2. What is your favorite Easter dish?
My husband’s favorite Easter dish is Ham, Mash Potatoes and big rolls. He has been wonderful; because he knows I don’t like ham and doesn’t ask for it.

3. When did you learn the truth about the Easter Bunny? You mean he is not real?
4. How do you decorate your home for Easter? I use to put up springtime and Easter decorations. This year I haven’t done much. Life has been to busy. I guess I need to slow it down.

5. How many Easter egg hunts does your family usually participate in? When my boys were little, there was one in the house that the EASTER Bunny hid and one outside at my in-laws.

6. What is your favorite flavor of jellybean? Do I have to choose just one?

7. How do you decorate Easter eggs? The old fashion way, dying the eggs.

8. Do you make/buy special Sunday outfits for your kids on Easter? Absolutely. Except this year, Easter crept up on me. I haven’t been shopping yet and it’s the day before Easter.

9. What are your favorite church Easter hymns and/or choir arrangements? I Know That My Redeemer Lives, same as my sister Lis. I didn’t know we had so much in common.

10. Do you spend Easter at home, on vacation, or with family? Usually with family.

11. Do you make deviled eggs out of leftover Easter eggs? I always boil eggs and make deviled eggs with them.

12. Are you tired of eggs by the end of the Easter Season? The Incredible Edible Egg? Heavens NO!

13. Are Peeps good or gross? I don't eat them, but the husband sure does like them, and the new multi colored ones are darling!

14. What company makes the best chocolate for Easter Time? Cadbury. I love those little mini eggs. Oh my freak. YUM.

15. Do you find plastic Easter grass hidden in places for months after Easter is over? Yes, but now that the kids are gone, not so much.
