We had a wonderful Easter. Mass was at the property where our church will be built in the next few years. I couldn't resist this pic of the girls walking together. Now the pic would have been better in a field of flowers or with a beautiful church and cross in the background but we have dirt and what looks like crime scene tape!LOL Cater insisted on carrying my broken umbrella to help her with the sun. Dear Goodness that girl!
After that we went to my aunt's home for a family get together. Kman has been carrying his sister on his back more since seeing Akwasi and Rita and Racheal carry her when they get together. I told him his new brother may want to carry her too so I think he wants to be a pro at carrying Selina by then. He has only almost dropped her once!
So ladies, I finally did it! We got yarn braids done just in time for Easter. Many of you know that Selina does not like getting her hair done. She seems like she is pretty sensitive to having her hair combed and pulled on no matter how gentle I am. We have gone to hair parties, done hair at all different times and tried many different things. Well, on Friday, she let me do about five braids. I was in shock! So in short, I was up that night and Saturday night until 3 am getting as many braids done as she slept! We did about four hours during the day too for a total of about 12 hours. Considering every thing, I am pleased with my first attempt!
My cousin Leah did an Easter Egg Hunt for the kids that they thoroughly enjoyed. I had to laugh as I later watched Kman and Cater doing some egg trading. I remember doing the same thing with my sister with Easter and Halloween candy years ago. Funny how years can pass and times can change but trading holiday candy is still cool!
So in short, we enjoyed a day of happiness and good health! After Selina's hospital visit and being able to take her to the hospital and get her help, I appreciate that it is truly a blessing to live in a country where we can get medical help for our children. I am so thankful for that this Easter. I hope yours was blessed too...

Yea for Yarn Braids. I noticed them right when I saw the pictures. :) GREAT job!
Fun pics ... love the "trading candy" story ... I, too, remember that from my childhood.
Blessings,

They look great! Love the white beads at the ends too!
Yea! I am glad you finally posted some pics of her hair since I talked to you; they look fantastic!!!Great Job! Now, I will have to try it someday, but I am intimidated. Luckily, I have the master yarn braider(aka:Laurel)not too far away, so I can drive Fia there for an emergency session if all goes awry!
Wow, Jennine what a beautiful family you have. So good to here from you. You haven't changed a bit. I loved reading all of your entries. I can't imagine how Kwame must feel when he receives that package and awaits his new family and home.
Glad you found me. My sis keeps trying to get me on facebook.
When I first glanced at the picure of your daughters walking to Easter service, I thought the photo was in Ghana!
Have a blessed Easter season. And I agree ~ WE ARE BLESSED to have so many health care provisions.
The braids look awesome! I am so impressed with your braiding skills.
