Easter!

Sadly, this was a very weird Easter. Due to the awful demands of test block, Jeffrey was unable to attend Easter festivities with my family or his. He went to church in the morning then after that the poor dear was home alone studying while I was having fun with our families. It was so weird to not have Jeff there. I really missed him. My nephew, Smith, loves Jeff and I mean absolutely loves him! I had to stop saying Jeff's name entirely because anytime I said "Jeff" Smith would start freaking out and go "Jeff? Jeff? JEFF!!!" and look so sad. That is how I felt too, but he is two, so it is ok for him to say that out loud.

But I kept coming home and checking on him and telling him all that he missed. I made him food to have at his disposal. Both of our families were happy to send food home to him as well. (Which is great because he eats us out of house and home while he is studying for test block...but right now my frig is full of leftovers and it is great!)

I even made Jeff an Easter egg hunt in our living room. I figured if he couldn't come celebrate Easter with our families, I would bring the festivities to him. So, I made him search for eggs as a study break. I know he didn't want to do it and thought it was silly, but he graciously humored me (and I think he kinda had fun too!) Each egg had a special message in it. The last one had a clue to an Easter surprise!

Oh I can't wait til test block is over!!! It is absolutely the best we just spend much needed time together...sleeping, eating, talking, and a lot of sleeping! It is great! The whole time leading up to test block when I barely see him, barely talk to him, sleep by myself, eat by my self, and don't have someone to tell all my stories to I am reminded just how much I love him and how much I miss him. The great part is I get this reminder without actually having to loose him. And then one day, all his tests are over and it is like Christmas morning!!!! I get my Jeffrey!
