Games Galore

Baseball game. Game night with Denise and Barry. Lots of game playing going on... Including a lunch "game" at Bonefish where we caught up with our favorite hostess from CB Potts.

Easter

Fun day at church and at home. All the photos are here.

Easter Prepping

Mostly cookie baking and baseball. The Blue Bombers won their second game! Sam and a couple friends are in town for the weekend, too. The three of them are hitting the sites nearby.

Passover Seder

Had a great Passover Seder tonight! This was our first full-blown Seder that went 3 hours - without doing all the parts. A Seder is a big deal. The best part was that the kids enjoyed it as much as the adults. Some more info is here.

As Hilda Prager quipped, "Only the men
got out of Egypt."

Matt cooked brisket and burnt ends

Getting ready (not everything is in place yet).

Seder Prep

We moved into serious prepping for tomorrow night's Passover Seder... Yes, we know the actual dates are this Friday and Saturday, but tomorrow is when we could all gather. Click here for some miscellaneous info about the Passover Seder that Jamie developed for the church small group that he and Lynn lead.

Chocolate Lava Cake for dessert.

A rare look at just getting started,
which means looking for edge pieces.

Spamalot Closes, Party at the Compound

Spamalot had a great run the last four days, culminating in a party at our house this Saturday night. Tracy got a very nice acknowledgment from Ms. Keating on stage at the close of tonight's show for heading up all the rehearsal meals and the snack table at the shows. A few Spamalot photos are here. Some other things happened in the meantime, see below...
