We enjoyed a fantastic long Easter weekend in Jacksonville with my dad and Carol, my sister Jenn and her husband, Matt, and their four boys. It was great to meet Jenn and Matt’s brand-new baby, Max, and to see their new house. (They’ve had a crazy few months, yes.)
On Saturday we enjoyed the beach, then dinner at our favorite fish place afterward.
Easter Sunday was also Max’s baptism, so it was extra special. The service was awesome, and Carol made an incredible Easter meal—roast lamb, fingerling potatoes, sauteed green beans, roasted yellow squash, fresh bread, and something else I’m surely forgetting. It was so good. The kids, of course, preferred all the sugar the got from their Easter eggs and the piñata Carol got for them. Intense personalities, by the way, come out of the woodwork around a piñata. Exhibits A and B are below.
It’s so nice being a quick seven-hour drive from my family in Florida!
