Happy Easter!
It is a time for new beginnings! Hubby and I are starting our lives as a couple who are fully vaccinated against COVID this week. I received my 2nd shot on Wednesday. On Thursday, I was tired and had the chills on and off, but had no other side effects. I actually surpised myself by taking a 40 minute nap. Hubby and my mom had their 2nd shot on Friday.
Our daughter came to visit with her pup, Ruby, on Thursday. You may recall that she and her husband rarely venture from their home so we all feel this is safe. She should be eligible for a vaccination in her state mid-April. Ruby was a very sleepy pup on Thursday.
She has perked up a bit since then.
Our son drove in on Friday after having a negative COVID test. He has to go in to work periodically so he feels more safe getting a test prior to visiting. It is not yet known when he will be eligible for a vaccination in his state.
We celebrated Easter as a family on Saturday as daughter needed to make the 3 plus hour drive home today for work tomorrow. Sometimes on holidays the drive can become 5 hours.
Katie made a Challah bread for us.
I made a Pineapple Upside Down Cake by Brown Eyed Baker.
I haven't done a whole lot of stitching this week despite being off from work. Santa's cheeks have more color.
I have also added a few more blue colors to the secret stitching.
I am joining Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching. Pop on over to her site to see what other bloggers are stitching. I am hoping to add some stitches to either Santa or Three Boats.
Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Easter to you and your family. I'm also glad to hear you have had your vaccines! Santa is getting more and more jolly with every stitch. I'm intrigued by the secret stitching project too. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter Cathie.... I am glad you got to have your kids home for Saturday and prior.... Nice that your son will get tested to be safest with you all :) Congrats on being vaccinated too! Your cross stitching looks awesome and that chellah bread looks divine as does the pineapple upside down cake!!! Kathi
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you and your family. Congratulations on your vaccines and hopefully we will all be on the same page before the end of summer. Santa looks happy with his rosy cheeks.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad all of you will be safe to visit each other now and it is a good feeling isn't it. Even if we have to put up with a day or two of not quite feeling right
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter, and glad you were able to visit with your family!

So happy you had the 2nd shot. Praying I will receive the 1st soon. Sound you had special moments with family this Easter. Cake and bread look delicious. Glad you found some time and cross stitched. Looking forward for seeing the secret one. Have a Happy and safe week.
ReplyDeleteGood news I still have to wait a few more weeks for my seconded one , Hubby has his 2nd one soon .
ReplyDeleteI just hope we can all more back to normal then.
Hope you had a lovely Easter.
glad you saw your kids and that you you will be invincible in about two weeks ha ha. Things are looking up. Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a really nice Easter Celebration and all were safe. Congrats on getting your 2nd shots. Hubby and I felt pretty excited when we got ours as well. I reacted with fever and chills for 1.5 days, but he did fine except for being tired. With each passing day I become a bit more optimistic with more and more people getting vaccinated.
